A drastic change when compared side-by-side.

Internet Service Provider. Ex. Roadrunner, Zoomtown, etc.

I'm one of those Japanese-RPG lover's, so maybe that's the difference for me?

I HIGHLY disagree with you Dryker. Sony is the one advancing, while Microsoft is just in this for the money. That's my opinion, but especially in the last/ current-gen. consoles (PS2 vs. Xbox), that's true. I think once DMC4 comes out, it'll also help tremendously.

Sony will win in the end.

I play WC3 frequently, and even with this piece of crap comp. it works ok. My friend has that Pirates game, and his comp. can handle that fine, too.
