Pretty simple and straightforward, eh? The product retails for $399, which is probably high in the long-term, but for now is a decent price point. Since we’re still in such an early adopter timeframe for digital home products, I don’t think there is a real urgency to focus on the mass market. Further, if you consider the pricing on HD/BluRay DVD players, it really fits in pretty well (especially since the amount of content it can play is staggering). Obviously sub-$300 prices would be ideal, but, as someone who comes from the other side of the field, I understand exactly why it’s priced this way. Also, don’t forget that it’s always possible to have a sale, but never possible to raise a price…"</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/421790837_c000aff78d_m.jpg" /><br /><br />Seems like all things that the 360 either can or could do, so I don't see the benefit of this over a 360 at a price equal to a 360.
