Son of xbox
the Homestation. i thought msft didnt want the xbox to be like a pc? well this thing plays pc games as well as xbox games. includes a dvd player, tivo type deal, and internet connection. it's also msft's entrance into homes with .NET this was the quote i didnt like:
<< Because HomeStation will function through a Microsoft gateway, the device will be poised to profile the activities of its users straight back to Microsoft. Information is power and, as advertising becomes increasingly targeted, it's a fast track to big bucks. >>
it does say they should sell it cheap, since .NET is a pay service. sell the system cheap, make up for it on the .NET (ala razor/razorblades). may hold off on the xbox till this comes out and we see a prices for it. wonder what xbox prices would do when they release this. or if they would even still sell the xbox, they may pull it and make you buy this at the same price. humm...i bet that's what they do. same with sony pulling playstations and only selling the GT3 bundle.
