Question: Why have Microsoft entered the console market?
Answer: Because they think they will be able to take it over like that, make a load of cash and be one step nearer to owning your brain.
I think MS should just stick to what it's good at. No, not PC OSs, as anyone who have used Linux will tell you, but small apps like IE, Outlook Express (not 2000) and Excel. Maybe Word. Everything else is just total bloat. Did you know, that laser printers cause a miniscule amount of Ozone (toxic). If you were to print out the Windows source code, you kill half the amazon rain forest?
Anyway, Microsoft are cheating. The X-box is using lastest third party hardware, and will be way expensive. And, have you seen the size of the thing! Basic unwritten console law states a console must have a max size of an A4 piece of paper.
Also, MS have no heart, because all they want to do is conquer the market. I believe Sony, Nintendo and Sega actually enjoy making millions of people happy.
Impressive as the specs are, I believe the X-box will fail. Let's face it.
a) It's a small PC
c) It's Microsoft
d) It runs off Windows, for god's sake!!!

The X-Box also comes with a DVD player... you just need to spend an extra fiver on the controller...
also... this isnt so they can get an extra fiver off you all X-Box purchasers.. its so they save a shedload of cash on importing & exporting...

well YH, if u spend the 300 squid then its up to u who does what with the console. personally i wouldnt use the Ps2 as a DVD player as i wouldnt use the Psone as a CD player. I wouldnt keep the Ps2 in the living room either it would stay in my bedroom.
Anyway enough talk of this, i'm gettin a gamecube.

How do you know it will be £300? I thought the only announcement made by MS is that it would be competitively priced. I would spend £300 on an XBox, if the games are there.
Personally i would buy a dedicated DVD player to watch my DVD's.

Surely it's less hassle all round to have individual machines.

I dont care who makes what or what it looks like.
If there are games I like, I'll buy it.
If not, I'll pass and continue with my plans for a race of Atomic Supermen.
