Imagine the dismay on the senders face when their galactic letter comes back with "Return To Sender" on the envelope:) For 20,000 bucka you better make damn sure that the letter is addressed correctly!!
Do you mind posting the details of this all-in-one wonder box?? I would love to read the specs and how you built it! I was working on a similar project a few months ago with an old laptop of mine that had S-Video out. I threw FreeBSD on it and was using it as a DVD/DiVx/MP3/OGG player but could never quite find enough information on a viable XBOX/PS2 emulation option.
The issue of a programmer's moral fallibility is something that comes up quite often here at work. Being in a borderline staff/management position, I've been forced to look at the situation from both angles. I also know that any efforts from management to dissuade these lines of "malicious" code will either piss off the programmer or indicate that you don't trust them, which will in turn, ALSO piss off the programmer. Briefly, we do have a stage in the process of "FINAL CODE ANALYSIS" where basically programmers from different departments are pitted against each other in an effort to find faults and potential security holes in each other's code. Regardless of these measures or any additional steps you could take for that matter, it comes down to one of the sole elements of human nature: TRUST.

Any way to do PS2 emulation on it?
