    Microsoft · · posted by ryuzaki0 · from the integration-time-come-on dept. · 297 comments
    Daetrin writes "Red Herring reports in this article that Microsoft is planing on combining the XBox with their UltimateTV Recorder with a projected final cost of about $500. The article also talks in some detail about the massive (though partially expected) losses that the XBox is costing Microsoft. There's also another article on Yahoo that sums up what Red Herring said."

    flipper28 asks: "I remember reading about Microsoft's forthcoming Solo2 chip over a year ago. Does anyone know what happened to it? Did it end up in UltimateTV, Xbox, or did it take the route of Microsoft Bob?" I've honestly never heard of such a thing. Anyone have a clue as to whether the Solo2 has become the latest in Microsoft's line of vapourware?

  3. Which DVR - Tivo or ReplayTV?

    lkd7 asks: "I have recently decided to buy a DVR, but I'm not sure whether to go with Tivo or ReplayTV. I know that it is a shaky market right now, but my VCR is just not cutting it anymore. I have tested out both Tivo and ReplayTV, and would be happy with either one (I do not have satellite service and so UltimateTV is not an option for me). The Tivo stocks and SonicBlue/ReplayTV stocks are not the most reassuring. I know that going with either one is taking a risk, but I would like to go with the less risky bet. I'd rather not invest in a $300 paperweight. Does anyone have a recommendation?"
