[QUOTE="Ark Malmeida, post: 75509, member: 285"] So for all of you complaining that this is an "everything" machine, do you think that it won't still play games? MS has repeatedly said that the E3 presentation in 18 days will be all about upcoming games, but everyone is choosing to ignore that. If it still plays great looking games, why does it matter what else it does? If you don't like those features, then you don't have to use them. Microsoft is banking on having those features be a selling point to get more consoles in homes. A bigger install base means more third party investment to get their games out to that install base. I just don't get the whole "it does all of this other stupid stuff - what about us gamers?!?" argument. And as far as the design goes, maybe it is ugly (I personally think it's fine and functional looking), but would you rather have a system that's built for function and to last for a long time (notice all of the ventilation), or a repeat of the red ring of death issues?
