looks freakin sweet but i dont like the memory card idea it kind of ruins the point of a hard drive to an extent.  i also do like the idea though of how they integrated it in with the hard drive as well actually now that i think of it( and pending it's operation and performance) it actually may be a good idea.  I like the look of them as well not just a big black box or something that looks like they pulled it out of a crashed airplane...anyway if it has better graphics and it is as easy to use and it's still mod-able then i am all for it!

Consoles suck so bad. I really dont care much for them, all they are is cheap computers cuz ppl cant afford a sweet rig. 360 looks like an hp labtop inspiration behind that was probably from bill gates. I dont need one cuz I already got my fix for life of video games. Peace

My first thought when I saw that a few days ago was 'where's the click wheel?'

It looks like a Mac...(CMON THAT POWER BUTTON LOOKS LIKE AN iPOD WHEEL!)

It's specs look tasty...3 PowerPC cores with HT...(makes it look more like a Mac cuz they use PowerPC processors too =P) plus 512MB graphics.

One of my friends said it's supposed to be about $500. Not bad, but I'm sticking with a computer; way more versatile. Consoles are just cheap limited computers.

AFAIK: the HD is an "option" but it will be bundled in the initial release package.

Pricing hasn't been announced yet, so you're friend is just taking a wild guess or repeating rumors. But, E3 starts tomorrow, so keep your eyes out for more info over the next few days on the new consoles and every other bit of gaming news out there.

tis over rated computers do much better and when you build them yourself you know that as soon as the warranty is up it isn't going to randomly catch on fire...like the dvd drives in the old xbox!
