Cracking Open The Xbox 360 Elite

I work with this stuff nimrod !
More likely than not your just some teenager who got a working unit for xmas with daddy's money.
I agree it is an awesome gaming console when and if it works!

"If you have a game console that doesnt have multiplayer online game support, you are definatly a ps2 guy and deserve to remain in the stoneage."

Hmmm, ignore the fact Final Fantasy XI was ported to the PS-2 (Granted, you needed the bundled HDD sold with it.)

"have fun woth that ps3, i hear it makes a great file server once yellowdog is installed per the provided dvd from sony.
useless hard ware with a blueray."

useless hardware???? Ummm, that sounds like the red-ringed XBox360 to me. By the way, thanks for the suggestion for when the next generation of consoles come out, meanwhile I'll take my PS3 with wireless capability and play my on-line games. Also, I don't need Sony to get Linux on the PS3, Google linux for the PS3 and see for yourself.

Da bean-counters determine the price point to sell the stuff at. They decide the profit margin... and WOE TO THOSE WHO SUGGEST ANYTHING THAT ADDS EVEN A PENNY TO THE PRODUCTION COST in their eyes.

I've seen and heard this phenomenon before.
