Kinda old news... but yeah. Looks pretty kick ass and I'm an advocate of it, though few people here are.

I don't see it being too cheap though. A 100+GB HD alone is more $ than a PS2 right now.

Regardless, I've reserved mine and signed up for beta testing months ago. Beta test launch is scheduled for October.

Although it was announced a long time ago, they just released the specs for it yesterday. I don't think I will be buying it, because I would much rather put the money into my own computer.

Yeah, I saw 'em.

I like the idea of upgrading it better than buying a whole new console every 2 1/2 years.

I'm just so damn curious to see what their pricing scheme is.

If you know where to look, a 100+ HDD is much less than a PS2. If you don't mind having to do rebates, you can get them for less than 50 cents/gigabyte.
