Does anyone know the cost of a production DVD Game for the Xbox Vs. the Retail?(Not Including advertisements or Developement just straight cost) Or how about the cost of developing a blockbuster like Halo for Example?

7 years of your life. oh, and some plastic.

anyway, the reason i would want emulators in the first place is i like carrying 50 game consoles around with me in a nice little (although relatively large) package

But wanting an emulator now that will play PS2 games on the XBox is lazy and greedy. And the whole thing about having a PS2 that died is just an excuse. Stuff breaks, that doesn't entitle you to get it for free. All I am saying is that emulation should be for vintage gaming, not current generation gaming. Doesn't anyone else share my opinion?  /QUOTE Free? You can still buy the games. The point is they already have a ps2, what right do you have to force them to play it on the ps2 then? Or to waste more money. They legally have the bios, and there are legit uses. If you assume everyone is using such things to pirate, that is where your views are flawed. I don't care about ps2 on xbox, it isn't going to happen. I hate the idea of being forced to play a game on specific hardware. Having to own three consoles (gc, xbox, ps2) just to play the games from the diff. companies I like is insane. Modern, or vintage, I support emulation. I like modern emulator, that is showing how advanced the scene is compared to just emulating dead systems.

im going to have to agree with mage on this i live in the barrics and although i have all of the systems i have emulators for i dont have room to set them up

Heh..  There is always gong to be some fool ready to jump in with a new console The PHANTOM  woohoo.. be scared Anyway, I remember back before the XBOX was officially announced there was a group/company designing a linux based console that oddly enough had almost identical features to the XBOX.  When the XBOX was announced it just kinda slipped into oblivion...  Does anyone remember that console?  I'm actually curious as to what happened to it, if only I could remember what it was called.. Edit:  my post may seem like I'm putting down the Phantom, I do think it's a stupid project, however I also see a huge potential for exploitation.  If they sell this "console" for $300 I can easily see it replaceing my XBOX as my emulator player/media player of choice.  Not to mention the "Downlaoding of rented games" feature could be "fixed" so that your rental never expires.  That said, the console is probably going to end up as a grain of salt dropped in the sea..  you won't even know it's there.

it was called the indrema, thats the name of the linux based system... the company was gonna make money off of hardware...  games would be free licenced unlike conosles, more like pc s where anyone can make a game and sell it or give it away.
