More on Future X-Box Capabilities

rtphokie writes "The oft - rumored expansion of Microsoft's Xbox from a gaming console to a more full featured entertainment hub is taking a little more shape. A C|Net article tells of a HomeStation device which is claimed to be slated for a fall release. In addition to Xbox game compatibility and DVD functionality, it is reported to have TiVo/UltimateTV like PVR functionality as well as WebTV like email and web surfing capabilities. This "report" comes on the heels of the announcement of the Moxi Digital set-top MoxiMedia Center which was named "Best of Show" at the recent Consumer Electronics Show."

    "this report"

    What is that supposed to mean? Why the quote marks? Are you claiming the article is not, in fact, a report? Or are you just injecting cynical sarcasm to boost your /. reputation as a Microsoft-hater?

    Perhaps you really have a reason, I don't know, but some description of why you would characterize this as a "report" instead of a report would at least provide some clarity as to your thoughts on the matter.
