So I just got the latest issues of T3 magazine (the UK version, not the silly US one), and there's a picture of a Panasonic Gamecube - one that has a brushed aluminum body and has a DVD player! It's slated to be a 100 dollars more and to be release in 1Q 2002.
Now THAT will be a box.
I think that it depends on whether you're an "applied" person or a "theory" person.
Computer Engineering as I learned it focused more on taking core principles and applying them to known problems. Computer SCIENCE (I stress the word science) took core principles and used them to create more complex ones.
For example, a Computer Engineer would take their knowledge of C and C++ and use it to create an embedded system. A Computer Scientist would take the C and C++ and figure out either how to make it better or to apply it to some highly theoretical problem.
I think the key thing to understand is that computer scientists ARE NOT programmers. They are theoreticians. If you like the math, go computer science. If you like taking basic knowledge and extending it to a real world problem, go the computer engineering route.
