It's certainly cleverer than lauching a system which doesn't play next-gen video out of the box, needs a huge brick kept out of sight to say the machine's a decent size and was so desperate to be loved that it had to have a number bigger than '3' in it's name.

MmmMMMM, smell that desperation!

Please, MS' response and the interpretation thereof in the article was clever.

I'll add a few further options...

5) ...never existed, but now that you mention it, thats not the worst idea in the world...

6) ...never existed, but we've had something along those lines in the works for some time now (mebbe its not black, or doesn't have a 120 GB hdd)...

ps schnide... Desperation?!? Please. Are you actually that stupid? Or are you just another one of those. (That 6-letter f-word that everyone is sick of hearing)

edit:re-read your comment and noticed the bit about the 'number bigger than 3'...which leads me to the conclusion that yes, you are that stupid AND you're a major fanboy.

Just another example of Microsoft FUD before the UK PS3 launch?

Though the revised 360 would be a good idea, I can see it annoying (to say the least) a lot of people who bought their 360 last Christmas.

i thought f**kface was 8 letters??... haha. sorry.

wow! someone doesnt like the xbox...

its a games console, hence most people dont give a f*ck whether it plays next-gen video, it plays next-gen GAMES and dvds which is all that matters.

omg, a power brick! because that really is a sign of desperation. i think your find its probably more due to heat issues ;)

ill give you the name, although it is only and name! it wont stop me buying a wii even tho i hate the name.
