  1. Single Profile and Mobile Device Music...Great! by MBraynard · · Score: 3, Interesting
    This is a really nice touch that seems not to get much attention. What it means is that rather than having to create a profile in every game (Halo, Halo2, GR, MechAssault, etc.) you can have a single profile. Hopefully the basic options, like aviator-absolute stick looking, will carry through, along with playlists.

    Also cool is the support for music from mobile players. I have a Dell Pocket DJ with the Napster2Go service. This will allow me to carry my 'library' of over a million songs over to the Xbox.

    I really can't see that they missed anything with this. Perhaps they will overprice is, but I'm looking for a 299 price point.

    Don't forget:

    There selling it at a loss.

    It's not in stores yet so PC prices will drop by the time it's out.

    Or this could be a lie.
