Sad, eh? Never mind the consumor, it's all about them. Same with any other corperations today... Now this is common knowledge. And everybody that says it's about the consumor are like a bunch of scammers. As long as they impress us with these $10 toys we continue to spend hundreds and in some cases thousands and end up throwing them out in the trash or forgetting about them for years in the dust when something new comes out. Sure they might be fun, they might seem worth it, but I think anything over $300 for just a console alone is too much. But what can we do???

Not much will break M$, they are one of the largest company's & a good % of the world uses at least 1 of there products! This gaming thing for them is just almost like a toy to them just something to see if they can do & do good & well shit they can! The B.G. Man isn't stupid & he isn't the richest person in the world for nothing!

I am sure linking up with Microsoft will give iptv the success it has been looking for. Well done let see how this goes in the new year.
