X - BOX the Sequel

Microsoft's new Xbox 360 game system will provide video game lovers with two different options, a fully-equipped $399.99 package that includes a 20 Gigabyte hard drive and a stripped-down $299.99 version.

Both systems are expected to be cheaper than the new Sony unit. Also, they are expected to be available in the USA and Europe during this upcoming holiday shopping season.

In addition to the detachable 20GB hard drive, the higher-priced package includes a wireless game controller, headset, remote control and high-def video cables. The Xbox 360 core system ($299) comes with the same Xbox 360 console system and a wired controller (but no hard drive, headset or remote and standard video cables).

Add another couple of billion to the Gates fortune.

I heard a good analysis of the Xbox, Microsoft will do to Sony what they did to Netscape.

Xbox made a name for itself but couldn't unseat PS2. Xbox 360 will be equivalent to PS3 and break even. The third generation Xbox will crush PS.

Microsoft would love to just break even with the 360 since they were losing money on all original Xbox's.

I'll probably buy one just for Halo 3
