Has anyone actually added up the price of the components in the 360 to see what an equivlent computer would cost??
All I know is it's the lastest and most ideal technology for gaming.
Microsoft charge so much cos they expecta loss of several billion over the first few years on the machine. They are dropping the price when PS3 comes out, but since they got one over on Sony in this round, they're gonna try and milk it a bit.
But, no... Not sure on the value of the components, but I'd kill to have a similar PC. Though, consoles don't need as much processor power as PC's as there is little background activity and shifting files around isn't needed as it's all on the disk.
