I got word now that the consoles are in fact going to drop. Apparently it was just posted online a lil premature...according to a friend, some EBs are already matching this price....Still no 1st person experience w/ this though.

By the way guys, I just thought I'd mention this.

Every Xbox M$ sell costs them money,  they are making nothing on the hardware, and selling below cost.

The reason? well most of their games are around 100 bucks. (AUD) and generally people that buy an Xbox are gonna end up getting at least a couple of games.

Its the same thing as buying a printer at 80 bucks,  and then paying 50 dollars for a replacement ink cartridges.. they know you will, and they make their money that way.
Why do you think a tiny box of ink goes for that much money?

Anyway, taking the above into account, you can bet your life M$ are not happy about the  modding/Linux situation, they haven't tackled the sourceforge project because there is not much they can do about it. who do they sue and why? its a GPL project, and its only supplying the software, not the mod chips, the mod chips are the thing that makes it possible and the only real area MS can attack.

Linux on an Xbox is actually pretty good, since an Xbox is actually a 700mhz PC in a little box, why wouldn't it be good? you can even replace the joystick ports with normal USB ports, because thats exactly what they really are. (USB ports I mean).

Anyway, I didn't really plan on commenting here, I've been looking around madly for any info on running Bloodrayne on Linux.
