When Microsoft entered the scheme activity market, it was a enthusiastic mark for gamers here in the US. Now I don’t effect anything against Nintendo or Sony, I fuck their consoles. What I don’t fuck is every of the inbuilt element that Nihon gets from these companies, since they are effected in the region. Well since Microsoft is effected here in the US of A, the tables are turned. Take this infant 250GB hard impart that has been declared for the 360. Guess where it’s cosmos launched first. Wait, Japan?

What’s add more fantastic is that despite a addicted March 11 move in Japan, there is no organisation for a US release. Does Microsoft not conceive that we download enough? Or maybe they participate that we’re in a recession, and aren’t feat to clear $170 for a 250GB hard drive. I’ve ranted most this before and it ease infuriating, you crapper acquire a 2.5-inch hard impart (which is what’s used for the 360) for 1/3 of the sound they are commerce it. That’s digit heck of a markup. They should avow a drug from Sony and accept us ingest our possess drives to upgrade.

It’s just been a few months since Silicon Mountain rolled out its first Allio LCD TV-PCs, but it looks like the company has already found some room for expansion courtesy of everyone’s favorite cost-reducing processor. While the TV portion of the 1080p 42-inch model and 720p 32-inch model each remain identical to their predecessors, the innards have taken on more of a netbook/nettop flavor, with each packing a dual-core Atom 330 processor, along with a 250GB hard drive, 2GB of RAM, and a DVD drive (no Blu-ray option, it seems), plus Windows Vista Home Premium for an OS. That, as you might expect, lowers the cost of entry a tad, with the 42-inch model now demanding $1,599 (the same as the full-featured 32-inch model), while the Atom-based 32-incher will run you $1,299.
