well, I doubt there will be an american release anyway, so even if I did want one, I don't know that I'd care.

Bleh. It will go the way of the other "hybrid" machines that have popped up occasionally by Phillips, Sega, et al.

Why would buy this instead of a PC?

Sony is trying to re-invent the advant of the PC. And failing miserably. What's the point?

Why not include a rice cooker with the console/entertainment center and it can take care of 2/3's of what humans need..

Wait, do you think they would actually do that? I love rice so if I could get a playstation, DVD recorder, Rice-Cooker combo I'd be happy as a clam. You think I could get them to throw in a small rotisserie so I can cook hotdogs and the occasional pheasant?

As people are less computer savy then most of us here!

It it just easier for most of them to do dvd recording from the pc, and have a tivo like thing from a vcr tv type of box then a pc and connections to it.

It is too expensive to sell very well.

And they complained that the Xbox was too big?
