If you worked for Amazon Kindle support you'd be doing all you can to head off the hoard of screaming customer wanting to know why their device has stopped working.
I might be missing something here but why would you want one box that does all this?
Modern games require vast amounts of processor time for the graphics and AI's that gamers demand and on the other side video encoding codexs are pretty processor intensive as well. Taking all this into account what happens when your mid game and the PVR function deciedes that your missing you favourty program and kicks in to record it? It finds it's got no RAM to use as a buffer and no CPU time as little billy is busy beating up the end of level boss in this months top of the game chart?
If all this has been separated out then you don't get these conflicts and you can upgrade/replace each part as and when needed.
I've been using WSAP (WebSphere Aplication Devloper) which the IBM branded version of eclipse for about 1.5 months to develope a few Servlets and some standalone applications.
I find it very userfriendly and some of the features like the plugable JDK's are a god send for testing on multiple vendor JDK's. The ablilty to assosiate source and API documentation with libaries to trace back exceptions or the javadoc info for classes within the editor makes working with new API's a greate deal easier.
On a comparison note the only other Java IDE i've used was Oracle's JDeveloper which i found a lot harder to get to grips with.

Looks like that Serverfault question about running rm -rf / was real then
