The more you read on the net, the more you sense this is NOT just an isolated incident. While luckily these guys find it comical, they are by no means alone. It appears Sony has launched an Xbox 360 EMP (I kid, I kid), because I have noticed a huge ...

1. Why a third SKU?
Sure, Microsoft is running a business. But it's ridiculous to try and convince us it's the only way they could have introduced a larger hard drive. Their argument is that by offering it as only an add-on, it would put new buyers in an awkward situation. ...

Here's the deal. Blu-ray was rushed out the door in order to stay competitive with HD DVD.
