I read an article that a MS spokeperson said that the equivelant PC would cost around 2000 USD

 

Edit, it was Mike Ybarra, and 1500 USD

even 1500... it's a stretch... with 1500 you can build a PC with a CPU several times more powerful and a GPU almost twice as powerful... i'm not questioning the value of the xboxx because i see it as a good price (even though lots of people did try to argument the scorpio would only cost $399, MS did say that even at $499 they are not making money, crazy people)... i'm just saying that this MS PR statement is BS.
