I would go for the card, grab Halo for PC and pick up an XBox when Halo 2 comes out. If you do decide to get the XBox check out gamefly.com. They are actually pretty good and cheap. PC has so many good titles coming out that I would definitely get the card: Half-Life 2, Doom3, Halo, not to mention classics like BF 1942, Warcraft, Generals, so on and so forth. -Joe
