I think it is to be expected that some units would have faults when you're talking a million+ units. It'll be interesting to see figures in a few months as to what % we're talking about that are encountering the 'blue light of death' vs. last gen's 360 rrod.

That said, I'm not buying into the new generation of consoles until at least a year has passed - far too much initial investment since I already have a reasonable gaming PC. That's just me though. :)

@rupti I think it might actually just be @x2rufff4u saying it in response to every single news video...

@waremon Yup, was thinking the same thing!

Eh, could be good.

I'm mostly interested in using it as a low power (and low noise) device for streaming games down to the living room. Pretty much the only appeal of consoles for me is that I can play them in the comfort of the living room. And the only barrier for me to not play PC games in the living room is lugging the case around the house every time I fancy a change. This potentially alleviates both of those problems.

As with everything though, time will tell!

Fair points, tbh.

Some of these comments... Good grief.

Congrats to Julie on her new position. I liked what she did with Office, though I know a lot of people don't agree. She's been a part of the company for a long time, and has had success with spearheading product launches in the past. Sounds like a decent person for the job.

Best of luck to her! :)

@blackace I think the 'like being watched' and 'I'll pay more because I'll feel like a high-roller' were tongue-in-cheek. ;)
