    I am not a fan of the current Xbox (at all), but those are some impressive specs. Microsoft is probably going to have to sell it at a loss, though. Unless they want to charge $500 :D

    Don't remind me, it seems everytime I go to refill my printer cartriges it costs me another arm.... dunno how I keep growing them back.

    Yeah, generally all video game consoles are sold at a loss. I can't remember the stats exactly, but Microsoft had to sell something like 250,000 XBoxes and each of those systems had to have 4 games apiece and then they would break even.

    In fact, only Nintendo makes a profit on their consoles.

    Yep, it's pretty sad when sometimes you can get deals where it's cheaper to buy a new printer that comes with an ink cartridge than to get an ink cartridge by itself...
