The controller that the Xbox comes with now is smaller though.

And yes it play DVD+RWs and -Rs in my experience. I don't know if this is brand dependent though.

The reason that Hitman 2 is still blocky is because of the programmers NOT the Xbox. The problem is this... They programme on the PS2, because it's the weaker machine then they just port that over to the Xbox to sell it on that platform too. So basically you are playing the PS2 version with the token little change here and there. It's all borne out of laziness and meeting deadlines.

They can't programme on the Xbox then downconvert to PS2 because that would take longer.

I have high hopes for Xbox Grand Theft Auto and Vice City because they are taking some time to get it out there, which probably means that they are doing a decent job with the conversion (hopefully).

I only have my PS2 for GTA. Once I get it for Xbox I will never use my PS2.... :-/
