"The race to win your living room still belongs to Microsoft as a frontrunner. Microsoft might just have so many tricks up their sleeve that it’s not even funny. While Media Center is part of the equation to winning, the second largest part is actually the Xbox 360. Before you stop reading because you think I’m going to take about it having a built in Media Center Extender or the ability to be a Windows Media Connect client for non-Media Center PC’s, how about if Microsoft had a damn good reasoning behind not including an HD-DVD or Blu-Ray drive in the Xbox 360? While the cost factor of either drive is part of the reason, there may indeed be a bigger reason."Chris Lanier brings up an interesting thought about why the next generation gaming console from Microsoft doesn't have a HD-DVD or Blu-ray drive like a certain PlayStation will have. And, why he thinks everyone will soon have an XBox 360 in their living room. ;)
