I bought an ipod about a year ago, i can't imagine life without it. its like not having a computer need. heh all my music and audio books go everywhere with me.

I dont really care to store anything on mine. cd-r dvd-r and thumb drives are fine for now.  I doubt they will kill the ipod. its apple's new bread and butter. no way will steve jobs and the crew lose to micro$oft.

Thanks for the link, if its real its very interesting to know.

They would be loosing money on every one they sold.  And people would buy it without getting a xbox.  They will not do this idea.

 well, they could make u like steam ur music to the xbox to transfer to the hard drive thing. they will think of some copy protection if they go with this idea.

If I know Gates, he won't let you put on your own MP3's, but instead make you buy them. Even if he doesn't, apple forever, and my next computer is a iMac G5(or G6 if i don't get a new one fer a while) with a iPod.

I don't think MS is going to go for this idea, since in the long run it is going to be a staggering loss for them. But hey I wouldn't mind buying an ipod lookalike for $100.00 smile.gif

how do you know what it looks like? I mean...just because it is an mp3 player doesn't mean it will just take the ipods design. it might be the best designed one out there, who knows.

I don't see how it would be a loss though, i mean, an xbox memcard that is also an mp3 player? How can that suck?

It's not gonna happen. Plus that image is 100% photoshopped. MS already made a portable media center that cand play movies and music and display images.

 In case you didn't notice. That isn't the design for the new Xbox/Hard Drive/MP3 player thing. It's just an image to fit with the article, don't flatter yourself  <_<

that $500 ipod cost less than $200 to make.


think about it

look at hd size, now look at  how much those harddrives cost (not normal ones)....
rip off? yes i realoize its more than just a hardrive, but the other stuff cant cost more than $100

They can't cost over $60 to produce, including labor and ads.  The problem is, the HD's will be way to small, much smaller than the current Xbox stock HD.
