      I guess Microsoft realized that if they were going to compete in the console world, they couldn't simply rebrand a PC and sell it cheap. The interesting part is that now both the Nintendo console and the M$ console will both use IBM CPU's and ATi graphics cards. Talk about freaky.

        I think rebranding a PC was MS's only advantage. It made porting to X-Box easy. Now what?
