I don't really have any - it's just that right now I still the Eye Toy is the coolest thing ever and all of my favorite games are on PS2. Rumors are still flying that packed-in dual Eye-toys on the PS3 will allow games to have depth perception - that opens up a lot of possibility. No matter what happens it's still all about the games. For this generation the Xbox games just didn't pull me from my PC (why play "Chronicles of Riddick" on the Xbox when I can play it with better graphics and control on a high-end PC?) The genres most important to the current Xbox are least important to me... I hope that changes. I'm worried about rumors I've heard that the Revolution will be some sort of "3D projection" technology platform and I'm having flashbacks to Virtual Boy-induced migraines. ;^) I'm a little disappointed that the current Xbox 360 specs make it clear that the system will be a networked media player but don't seem to include networked video. I LOVE my Avel Networked DVD player and see no reason not to include that functionality on the 360. I'm also hoping that the little door pictured in all the photos opens to reveal at least one front-facing USB port (and, with any luck, that a USB drive can work directly as a memory card).
