Seems like XBOX has a really solid online plan. I have a PS2, how does it compare? Speech, inviting players, etc.?

42% Xbox
37% Playstation 2
21% Gamecube
From the article:
1. Xbox - No adapter to buy, but you're limited strictly to broadband and have to pay a monthly fee.
2. Playstation 2 - But a 56K/broadband adapter seperately ($39.99) and play online for free.
3. Gamecube - But either a 56k or a broadband adapter seperately ($34.99) and play online for free.
Based on those descriptions, the results of the poll don't make sense. GC probably came in last because they only have 1 title at launch and their online plan isn't very solid compared to the other 2. The PS2 plan didn't beat out Xbox probably because they have 5 launch titles and 3rd party online games might charge a monthly fee for that game only. Xbox has you paying a yearly fee of 50 bucks that'll allow you to play as many games as you want plus they're coming out with a bunch of games and it includes voice support and other cool features. PS2's network package comes with a coupon for a free copy of Twisted Metal Black Online and it's actually a pretty nice plan. The only problem I see with it is that you'll have some users with slow dial-up connections and others with fast ethernet connections... Xbox's strategy of broadband only will help to level the playing field a bit. Gamecube's strategy would be good I'm sure if they had one. I'd say Xbox and PS2 both have good online plans.

I can see myself never using the headset and muting everyone I play with. I can do without all the trash talking from 12 year olds. However, everything else looks pretty good though I still don't think I will every be much of an online gamer. I have people coming over all the time to play games with. At least I can punch my friends when they run their mouths too much during a game.
