Xbox ?
I've all ready decided that the x box is the way to go for me, especially after seeing the games in person. My question is I know that the X box will support broadband. I was wondering if you get the Xbox and broadband for it. Can you use that same service for your computer, and if you have DSL for your PC can you use that for Xbox??

Earthlink has a good rep. A NIC comes with the X-Box, and I'm not sure how that's different from a cable modem. DSL will work fine, and I'm pretty it shouldn't be a problem with cable.

There's no network up for online play on any system yet, though. My personal suspicion is that online play won't take off until the next generation of consoles, a few years down the road, when more people have broadband.
