Ok it's cool, but how long until we see the unsavory elements of society adopt this. They even say it's "extremely difficult" to detect via radar. How long until we see drug runners using this to "import" illegal drugs into the country? Heck forget about a border fence. Just run down to Manny's border jump shop, pay your fee and fly right over the border.
Ok on a broader level. Perhaps the XBox (v1 & 360) was/is popular due to it's unintentional target audience of older gamers. Would it not cheapen or loose market share by changing it's target audience?
Isn't that why the Nintendo GameCube is popular with some people? Due to the unintentional targeting of games for younger audiences?
I view the game market as being a spectrum, with the Xbox as the older audience, the Playstation as the mid range and the GameCube as being on the youngest end. Now there are games that I like on all three.
I get so fed up with companies attemting to capture/control the entire market. Pick a target audience and do the best that you can with that darn audience!
In the end the only reason I buy a game controller is if it is hackable so that I can run Linux/BSD and thereby a non susceptible browser (read no way IE). So that I can check out some ad I see on TV.
I don't remember ever seeing conclusive evidence (as in studies) that aerosol use was ever positively linked to the depletion of the ozone layer. In fact I remember several studies highlighted on the discovery channel which cast quite a bit of doubt on that that hypothesis.

"Stable Government
No Army"
With no Army there is no promise of governmental stability.
I for one vote that we semi officially call this the neXBox from now on.
