Good. Less useless clutter in the room. No into the motion control thing even in the slightest. That its not required is a serious plus in my mind.

...Hard drive is upgradeable, too. Nice. That was one of the more useful features of the PS3. Otherwise I'd still be messing with 40 gigs instead of a TB. Might even just pop in a massive hard drive first thing.

Only 2 USB ports though...less hot. There have been times I've had all 4 filled with stuff on the PS3. But at least they're right there in front where I've got easy access, as opposed to the back of the device, where I'd have to pull the damn thing out off the shelf to pop a USB stick or whatever into it.

Well, exactly. Look at sff computers used in living rooms today...

[The Comrade]

the problem is that they won't do that. they'll add restrictive DRM and other stupid things because "that's the first step" and then they'll lose the console wars to the console that doesn't do that.

they may be trying to make them PCs but they're doing a bad job. and i really don't think people want that.

Is steam restrictive in your opinion?

[The Comrade]

nope. but steam is on my PC and what microsoft is doing is not a carbon copy of steam.
