So here's one review, from one of the more MS-biased reviewers out there, but it's interesting at least. While I disagree with his comment on it being silver (silver ALWAYS look gooooood), I'm pretty much agreed about the rest. It's silly. (I will say that he's severely misrepresenting the XBox division. Their software on the system is excellent, from the online system to the interface to everything else. It's in hardware where it all falls apart, from their weird proprietary addon design (like memory cards and hard drives) to that rushed main board that overheated (he fails to mention that problem was eliminated a few revisions ago).)

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
