on the windows vista statement, a full entertainment solution? do you own a 360? you can download everything, tv, movies, videos, and link to your computer to use all the capabilities of windows media center, hmmmm maybe there is your full entertainment solution.

also like mike said, nothing comming straight from first party retailers if ever going to be cheap, just wait 6 months to a year and prices should plummit, or you could just save 20 bucks a week and buy the damn thing, hell its not even out yet lol

Microsoft and maybe Nintindo arnt nearly as stupid, because who will use Disks on the next gen Console anyway- everythign will be downloaded. Consoles are pretty pathetic anyway, i've been above "high def" with my computer for a long while now... consoles may be a cost effective solution for gaming, but soon many will seek a full entertaimnet solution, Windows Vista :) Sony is taking the biggest loss, but not for their consoles, but for their huge invest ment in their crappy blue ray technology.

A lot of personal attacks and other issues are brought up, and trying to get everyone not buy MS stuff out of your own personal protest? The HDD might be a little pricey but then again when is first party stuff (MS, Sony, Etc.) not expensive. MS has a huge 360 consumer base and knows their bigger HDD will sell well. Even if it is a little pricey, remember they are taking a rather hard loss on each console sold. Overall, a bit pricey but definetly worth it for game downloads, HD movies, etc. I’m not sure if this article has more to do with the actual HDD or the fact that the author is obviously angry at MS for other reasons.
