In Response To: Re: hard drive vs. memory card (Miguel Chavez)

: Reiterating my position stated on other replies here: even if there's no
: 'obvious' use for the HD and that it would've been cheaper to leave it
: out, I again point that it was a ballsy move to stick to the premise of
: the HD, Ethernet, 4 controller ports, etc.
: If they had systematically removed all these pricey 'extras' then the
: machine, IMO, would've been less distinguished from the competition, and
: also less flexible for future expansion. By sticking to their guns, MS has
: essentially created a level playing field of heretofore
: never-before-reached console platform equity.
Freewill, I _almost_ agree with you on this point, but there is one particular issue that irritates the hell out of me: no built-in DVD playback. I know you can buy the kit, but whyinthehell did they do that? Just becuase of that one lacking feature, in my house the PS2 stays in the living room with the big TV while the Xbox laungishes in Jr.'s room.
Still, though, the HD rocks... Jr can't scratch up my music CDs 'cause I burn them to the Xbox for him.
