actually most of the people here who follow pc console hardware COULD design the Hardware aspects(not software) of a console that would be about equal or better than the xbox360 and about the same price to boot- for the hardware atleast. it's called building your own PC...try it sometime. case mobo ram hdd dvd drive video is all you need. lets see what i can come up with - sans software- hardware -retail price- that would be equal or better than the xbox360 ok case will be bigger than a console, but lets see what i can build for ~400 dollars case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811164097 26bucks dvdrom 18 - any ram- 2gig- 82 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820208283 hard drive 53- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822144414 mobo 54- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813135011 processor 69 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103760 video- 130 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131026 ok with the rebate on the video card we are at 430 dollars RETAIL. switching to a 1650 video card could drop the price by 45 dollars switching to a gig of ram cuts the price by 40 dollars scaling down the processor could cut price by 30 dollars so we have a PC for between 315 and 430 dollars - Retail add usb wireless controller for 30 and you have a gaming pc - sans operating system software - a version of linux like unbutu =free or getting vista for 112 or XP media center for 110 and you are set except for keyboard, mouse and monitor. keyboard mouse= another 20 bucks resolution the video card can do is greater than 1080p - (1920x1080) at 2048 x 1536
