Freon doesn't seem like such a good idea to me.. I mean sure, the idea is "cool", but at 500$ (I'm assuming US) most of the people who bought an Xbox won't even touch it.. and that's without even considering how they would feel with Microsoft basically having released what they even viewed as an inferior product for two years, only to have a "replacement" product out two years later. It doesn't do well for M$'s rep..

Despite my feelings I'm hoping that the Xbox survives.. but I also find myself hoping that there is a SERIOUS purge in Microsoft's marketing division at the very least.. those guys are fools. And arrogant fools at that. They've kept at least this hardcore gamer from buying an Xbox because of thier ****.. and now they're seeming to WANT to alienate the people that did buy an Xbox.

..Very confusing.. I wonder what the guys at X B A or possibly the Neoseeker Xbox forum would think about this, when they were putting down the PS2 for having a 40$ network addon.. >_< Oooh, that won't/wouldn't be pretty.
