After reading the description I get the impression that the box is a ticking time bomb waiting to fail "designed to perform far beyond their specifications".

Whats the big attraction of having an Xbox built in?

Just realised it's in Ozzy Dinar (Pesos as Jim would incorrectly say), which is probably about 20 GBP, or 30 USD, eight shekels, half a tanner and a packet of crisps with enough change for the bus home...

Steamwake was the only one near close. In the very near future Consoles will be the hot gaming platform.

The way I see it they (Console makers) need to make most current game controllers (Flight sticks, Wheels... ) compatable and redo popular pc titles ( SH3, 4, 5, IL2 1946 Racing ect...) in console format and modable with graphics as good if not better than PC.

Pluses+++ Eliminates Pirateing hopefully so lower prices for games.

No more having to build an expensive hiend PC


The only reason I haven't went console is the above reasons.

Consoles already have piracy, if they were the only gaming platform that would only increase. Hoping for this to lower prices is silly, not to mention that on average console games cost more than pc ones where piracy supposedly runs rampant.
On another note, you can build a capable gaming system for about 500usd if you know what you are buying, that kind of system will last you for about3-5 years unless you expect maxed out graphics all the time.

Meh eventually the ease of use and lack of compatibility issues (games written to known hardware requirements) consoles will dominate the market.

I dont want to say PC gaming is dead but it is on life support.
