I think your right about the sales, this probably won't affect sales that much, although it would sway the computer enthusiasts away from PS2. But that's a really small percentage of people. I think/.ers just exaggerate a bit when it comes to Microsoft.
The reason why XBox would be better than an inexpensive DVD player is that XBox would be able to play SVCDs, DivX, and DVD. DivX, by the way, has far higher quality than SVCD with files of similar sizes. (That's been my experience anyway).
Wait till Microsoft deviates from the standard...

WASP is gonna have a helluva time when Microsoft decides, yet again, that standards are for wusses. MS has balls.
I hope this gives the high speed providers some healthy competition. We've been push around by high speed providers for long enough. I think it's time to push back.

Duuuude, that's the best idea i've heared on/. for a long time.
Dude, it's not just/.ers man, it's all men./.ers are just a small subset of men. I really doubt women read/., at least I think this is a safe assumption....
You're right! Portable porn! that's exactly what we need! I mean, who wouldn't want to watch porn while you're sitting on the bus or subway on the way to work. Or in your car stuck in traffic. Or while you're doing groceries.
I wonder how long it'll take before some hacker, or a disgruntled employee to send the signal to fry everyone's box. Just a matter of time, and I will sit back and laugh when it happens.
This is not a surprise at all. Napster was OBVIOUSLY going to go under after they got shutdown. Who in their right mind thought that Napster would be able to provide a pay service while there's other services that offer music for free. I gotta say, some investors are really dumb. Why are people so stupid?
I haven't used opera in a long time, but I'm using Mozilla and IE right now. Mozilla isn't very stable, as far as my experience so far. If Opera is faster and stable, and compatible with all the crap out there, i'd use it... I'll have to give it a try.
This is actually a nifty way of getting real good ideas from people. $10000 seems a bit cheap for an idea that can make google helluva lot more than that.

South Korea, you ignorant fool! And please, don't ask whether I know Glen from Canada!
Mandatory? Who would enforce this? Time-Warner is huge with infinit legal resources, and suing them would just waste everyone's time and money.
I bet Macrovision is pissin their pants now.
the X-Box in the same class as Napster?
/.ers keep moaning about. Seriously, I'm tired of this crap.
This is the kind of BS that

We had game nights, but our teachers were really restrictive, and we really couldn't afford licences, so we had to quit.
I hope they plug this Gopher hole real fast.
This is the Internet, Jackass, spelling errors are acceptable.
I don't see why there needs to be a treaty, I don't see no Millenium Falcon out there causing havoc, yet...

I dunno if I can call 900 numbers now that I know that the FBI might be listening!
I bet windows can be bloated enough to suck up that much computing power....
No one needs to know how much Golden Girls I'm watching. There was a 6 hour marathon on sat night for crying out loud!
