$299 could very well happen seeing as M$ doesn't care about losing $$ as long as they can get this into people's living rooms.

If that does happen then this holiday belongs to Microsoft, and probably the generation. Sony don't have a chance at matching that price.

The vast majority of gamers in the US use gamefly and/or Gamestop. So, no....just no.

Last time I checked, Gamefly had less than 1/2 a million users, and US Gamestop customers will still be able to buy and sell used games. Though I doubt the two of them account for the "vast majority" of the US games market, anyway.

Any system that cuts out used sales via ebay/Amazon while allowing publishers to charge "fees" AND elimates rentals from gamefly/Redbox, is NEVER going to do well. When you add in the fact that people are unknowingly going to be buying a system that forces them to connect, in some cases, every HOUR just to play the game they bought? Yeah, not good.

Anyone who thinks MS is going to win this generation is delusional and COMPLETELY underestimating and/or insulting consumer's intelligence.
