Microsoft Rules!
The Xbox 360 is looking good and will be the best new gaming system on the market. Essentially, it is just as powerful as the PS3 in every aspect and will meet the requirements for all next-gen games. Also, game developers have stated that the Xbox 360 is easier to make games for than the competition. Did I mention the best (award-winning) online gaming service, Xbox Live, will be even better on the new system. The Xbox 360 will be on the market sooner than the PS3 and will be less expensive. Oh yeah, the PS3 controller is extremely ugly. To make the Xbox 360 stand out Microsoft should have included a HD DVD drive to compete with Sony's Blu-ray (Toshiba needs our help!). Not that I think either of these are neccessary as games would not utilize them. Also, the Xbox 360 should have more exclusive games.
Go Toshiba!
I hope HD DVD succeeds in the upcoming format war against Sony's Blu-ray. Both formats have more than enough space to store hours of high definition content. Yet, HD DVD will be much less expensive to produce. It has been approved by the DVD Forum. It will have better interactive features using Microsoft's iHD technology. It will have recordable and rewritable formats. It will have a more consumer-friendly copyright scheme. And it has a more understandable name for the average consumer. The only reason Blu-ray is still around is because Sony owns two or three major movie studios who will refuse to release HD DVD content, unless Blu-ray completely fails in the format war.
Sony is Evil!
They don't care about the consumer. They care about making money.
