I think I can add some reason here to the 'just use bootcamp' folk. Bootcamp is in beta - it doesn't work on some of the Macs. The 24 inch iMac got a blank screen, last I heard. Dunno if that's been fixed. But the issue here is that in order to game, you have to reboot. I dual-boot Windows and Ubuntu, pretty much so that I can play games. I use my Windows partition -exclusively- for gaming, because I have everything else set up on Ubuntu and I don't want to bother maintaining two installs. However, if the big-name games started coming out for Linux, I wouldn't have to bother with the XP partition. And I wouldn't need to reboot every time I wanted to play a game. I think this is a similar mentality to most Bootcampers. Yes, it's nice. Yes, I can play games. But it's a bit of a hassle to have to reboot in order to play said games.

Wow. Your roommate needs to learn some new words. And a lot of them. Or a bit of tolerance, whichever you'd prefer. I have no issue with him insulting the console. I have somewhat against him for being such a derogatory ass, though. =/
