and now My input.... ok Here's the deal with microsoft, they are doing the base $300 launch system for the parents. $300 is what parents expect to see on a launch date, no matter how new the system is, its been that way for 10 years now, and Micro$oft doesn't want even more outraged parents. The $400 launch was the original price they wanted to charge, but do to their marketing ideas they had to add a few extra goodies to make people feel it was worth the extra $100... the Universal HardDrive for Sony was a flop, however X-box 360 is more of a computer than any other system has even gotten near to, and thus they are hoping the HDD will be a more popular attraction to the market than Sony's failed attempt.....
As far as "Yeah Screw Nintendo" You're making a mistake sir, however rumor has it that Nintendo is planning to charge a usage fee for this oh so awesome idea that they have of allowing 100% full legal downloads of all previously existing Nintendo games. I'd buy the Nintendo Revolution just for that, if they don't try to charge for it.

Do not under estimate the power of the dark side!
