    20gigs of space!!! i don't know what for though...do you even have to install the games on xbugs
    one thing which confuses me though is the fact that when they advertise the xbugs, they say "you can watch dvd movies with it", but it actually requires some add on component to be able to do this, i don't remember what it was, i think it was a remote of some sort, and it costed some 60-70 euros....
    well as we all know, for that price, you could just buy a dvd drive for your PC, if it were any good at all

    BTW [H] have pretty much the same article in english - here
    The XBox isn't that far off from actually being a proper PC.

    It has an NVIDIA GFX chip, a DVD-ROM drive, powered by an Intel Celery with Samsung DDR RAM... and the hard drive is for saving everything you do in your games plus a whole lot more e.g. saving extra levels/character skins off addon discs... or possibly even the internet.

    I guess the main difference is that it runs a proprietary OS instead of a copy of WindowsXP or something.

    I really don't see the point in the Xbox as it is so close to a PC! in fact, I saw an article a while ago that showed a PC with the same specs or better for a lot cheaper! While it might not be quite so easy to run games, it still seems like a far better thing to buy!
