The kind that figures all PS2 games were on DVD, because it had a
DVD drive from the start.

Wow! A HD-DVD drive in an Xbox. Now I can watch it on my $4000 HDTV!
The wonder of the Xbox; All that capability, and the CHEAPEST
electronics you can find. Audiophiles, beware.

You can get an HDTV for less than $1000 nowadays.

MS announced the XBox 360 before E3. That is because it is not JUST a
gaming system. MS is after your livingroom, all of it.

Bullshit, LCD boy.
My Toshiba Dual mode 36" CRT is miles better than any LCD yet made.
No built in tuner, but definitely full HD when one is on it.
The only thing that really beats it is the 19 million pixel OLED IBM
monitor.
CRTs are still king, and this one is now at less than $900.
LCDs and Plasmas both exhibit "confetti" anomalies in moving action
imagery. No such animal on these babies.
One can declare the number of grams of grass is embedded in the guys
jersey... right off the broadcast air!!!
CRTs rule! Toshiba rules CRTs.
