    Along those lines, a friend of mine bought a video iPod and has downloaded a couple of movies, which he plays on his TV. The cost is frightful, but the quality is surprisingly quite acceptable for his 32" screen.
    I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

        Maybe 10 hours.

        8 at work (on and off; the monitor's always on, but I'm not necessarily always looking at it), 2 at home for entertainment.

        Less on the weekends, I guess.

            Hooray for an opportunity to give more money to MS. Now all I need is for someone to buy my old 360.

            Also, I wonder how soon is this "soon"... I read something before that the production of the new processor engadget claims they will put into Zephyr has been pushed off till "mid-2007".

              I don't see why you'd need to replace your Xbox. HDMI is more trouble than its worth right now, I still have HDCP syncing nightmares on my TV and the HDMI port is buggy at 1080p60..

                  I'm sure they'll make it an accessory to buy. Probably with a 60GB version also.

                    Yeah... I wonder what the price structure will be like.

                        Hopefully, they price it as the current full model now, at 499ish. Twice the HD, and with a potential HD-DVD add-on... May not be so happy for the PS3.

                          I meant the stand-alone hard-drives, since I already have an actual Xbox. It would be nice if the 120GB was priced at $100, and the 20GB dropped to say 40-50. But who knows. I very likely won't be buying the 120GB if they price it at $200 like the hd dvd.

                              As is to be expected, Microsoft has no comment on this "leaked image"


                              We contacted Microsoft representatives, who made the following statement: "We have seen all types of claimed leaked photos like this show up online and as a standard policy we don't comment on speculative items."

                                So we're already talking about enough storage space for 30 full-length HD movies. Call it 15 (half goes to other ****)

                                That's one a day, if you keep them the full 2 weeks.

                                I don't really see a problem here.
                                Because you can also download HD TV shows, which you get to actually keep. And, like I mentioned before, people also download game demos, game content, etc. Not to mention any music they might have on it.
