Are the only having videos for download on XBL? Those announcements alone are worth the look, 1080p Halo 3 would be something that would impress those with the TVs who will view it, all three of them.

US$199 for the HD-DVD drive? This can't be true. So we're up to US$599 and we're still missing hard drive space, wireless, memory card reader?

Note how I haven't even had to include such unproven and intangible fanboy things like "free online play" to make "consumer choice" look like "stupidly bad value".

* More info about 1080p and how it will be done. New dashboard announcement. Release date revealed for late November. Will allow users to try out homebrew content made with XNA game express.

Does this mean 1080p is with the November dash update? If so, even with the delays Sony are still going to beat them to the 1080p generation!

If not, awesome for homebrew by November... exploit city here we come?
