Here is a good question, what do videogame consoles have to do with movies? Think about this for a second... Sony put a blue ray player inside the ps3 making the price rediculous. Hey its the cheapest blue ray player out there. SCAM. I feel that microsoft at least didnt try to scam us into buying some stupid media player in the name of a format war that is still undetermined when all I want is a videogame console. I hope you have enough money to buy a ps3 for every tv in your house because "its the cheapest blue ray player out there." Thats as stupid as saying "here is something you dont need, but because you are a fan we will give it to you cheaper than the other things you dont need." Microsoft on the other hand has given the option to purchase a HD-DVD player. The xbox also upscales your regular dvds so they look great. I hope both formats (HD-DVD and BLUE RAY) lose as the case goes with cd's. I would simply like to download my movies, games, and music digitaly onto a solid state hard drive, discs are so last year.

Excellent analysis, especially the point about Silverlight. If there's one thing Microsoft knows how to do well its using it's monopoly to push its other products.
