    I may have to finally get one at that price. Not to play games of course.. I'd use it as a MythTV frontend.

    I just bought an XBox!!! WHy me? Why does this always happen to me??!? Well, at least the "Greatest Hits" line is pretty good at $20. And I got Halo at $25, which is cool.
    As far as the neXtBox or whatever, I'll get it when it gets to the $179 price point.
