Just to frighten you a bit more we also pay $150 per month for a 512kb ADSL connection with a 3gb limit.

depends on if it's hackable like TiVo. If it is and you can transfer the programming onto another hard drive, you might as well get the cheaper of the two and then spend the extra $100 putting in a bigger hard drive. For under $100, you can get a good 200gb hard drive.

EDIT: just read the link above, and for $100 more you might as well get the $599 for all the extra goodies that come with it and hack that one.

I'll wait till the second batch is released. The first ones usually still have some bugs in them. Although, considering how many times the date was pushed back, this thing should be flawless. Cannot wait... Metal Gear Solid 4, GT5 (already saw screen shots), Silent Hill Reissue... hoping they figure a way to release a new Legacy of Kain game but that may be difficult considering the series pretty much came to an end with the last game :(

If you are getting your X5 detailed, why would you need to vacuum in the back seats?:confused:
