Message: <blockquote data-quote="Gord Lacey" data-source="post: 75502" data-attributes="member: 1">So it seems MS has decided they are going to be an "everything" machine, instead of a gaming machine. That explains the design - which is made to look like something that fits alongside other components, not a gaming machine - and the focus on TV and all that. I already have a cable box/PVR, so something like this doesn't interest me. I want to play games on my gaming device, or watch movies on a disc (I have a disc playing in my PS3 right now). MS is clearly going after a different market with this announcement.A friend told me they're pushing the TV thing because they want cable companies to offer these under contract - sign up for X years and only pay $Y for the device. That makes sense, and could be their "in" for getting into a lot of homes.They definitely took a different approach to their unveil than Sony took. Sony was all about "the games" and changes that relate to "the games," while MS was about pretty much everything but "the games."</blockquote>
