As much as I want an updated version of X-Wing and Tie Fighter, I'm not sure a console could really do them justice. They're more simulation games than arcade-style fighters, there were a ton of different keys on the keyboard you were using when playing along with a joystick/gamepad. I just can't see it happening on a console without sacrificing some of the old feel to make it more arcade like.
I generally agree with you, and am quite pleased with my Xbox as well. However not all the components are high quality. Namely the DVD drive, there have been numerous problems with Thompson drives dying and having problems reading disks. Sure they've been using other drives such as the Philips and the Samsung, however they're also still using these Thompson drives that are an utter pain to deal with when they start acting up.
I hardly see how that would be a privacy issue if you're logging your own wi-fi access or access on your wi-fi network. If your neighbour goes and accesses your network I would think he gives up a right to privacy over what he does on said network.
I still use my Laserjet IIID, the thing is a bloody workhorse and the cartridges last forever compared to what you'll get out of ink.
The only problem is you'll put your back out moving the thing.

The more you tighten your grip, the more Jar Jar will slip through your grasp.

However later on he confirms that they have 11,000 resellers, wow, they sure seem to be selling a lot now don't they?
