Hell, I know Videogames is a business, but with this offer look like Microsoft want to Milk the Cow (us, the videogameres) until death this time, and frankly , in exchange for nothing new.
Microsoft, if you want every single of my pennyes, you must have to work harder for them.

i was hoping that the new xbox would be able to "see" my PC as they are both connected to my router and i will be able to play all my MP3's off that or at least copy them to my xbox. that would be sweet


yeah, I thought they would, thereby removing one of the benefits of having a chipped xbox.

The best bit though is: Why does Microsoft want you to listen to your own music in games? So they can sell it to you via Xbox Live.


A cynical but insightful theory. That is the threat that's posed with all this media-integration s**te. But will Microsoft defeat the humble cd - people like tangibles. I've got an mp3 player and i've never paid for a download almost all my tunes come from cds or mates cds. Hopefully they won't be cnuts and they'll put cd ripping software thats faster than that s**t on the xbox

It's just opening revenue steams, in the same way Sony are doing with PSP and probably PS2.

It would be more correct to say that the Media Wars have began.
