That's the thing. I'm hoping it's more than just a console.
If I'm going to spend $200 anyway on an HD-DVD drive, then you figure... everything for HD-DVD is on BluRay and will always be due to hybrid players.
My MythTV box was over $399, not including BluRay. Also, not including potential console gaming.
So while the console aspect might fail.. might being a strong word, which is what I'm worried about... I really wonder how the openness of Linux + Media Center-type services will hold up.
While 7 Xboxes will seem amazing, I haven't yet found a great solution for non-WMV formats with 360. I mean, they WORK, but they aren't flawless by any means like a straight up linux stream would be.
