all i want for christmas

I have just read through two of the articles posted by WinSuperSite’s Paul Thurrott about the impending XBOX360. I know i am biased (as i already own an XBOX) but the device does sound very good and what the Microsoft man, Jeff Henshaw, puts across is a device that will appeal not just to gamers, but to the whole family. This is mainly due to its “Media Centre” mentality with the ability to access your “Friends List” regardless of if you are playing games or watching streaming video across your network. Think of it as like having MSN Messenger on your TV!

Of course Sony will blow it away with the PS3 when that arrives a year later as they already have such a large userbase all across the world. But for now Microsoft might have captured the flag from the other team.

Its almost as if all the extra mods and applications I primarily use on my modded XBOX will be built in to this next model! I might even buy an un-modded one for a change.
