Microsoft has stated countless times it was just a dumb rumor started up by someone to get attention.

When was this?

I don't care. It's stupid if it's true. It's stupid if it's not true. It's stupid.

Then how come the article is on MSNBC, a NBC and Microsoft joint venture? I mean they are the closest to the truth about this, and surely would be asked to stop any rumors if that's what they are.

Yeah.. that doesn't make sense.. Microsoft would sensor out a rumor if they could control the news, and they probably can on MSNBC.

If you would look back at some of MSNBC's other rumors about Microsoft and the Xbox you would see that the majority of them have either been false or contracted. Also if you watch the TV channel they hardly ever mention any of these 'rumors' they mention on their website. I'm sure there are othe reasons for that though.

Well, I used to think these were rumors, but I don't anymore. I also found this article here . Its at techtv. They are also a very reliable source. Check it out. It may be true. Its just basically a tivo that can store all types of media, and a gaming console, but who knows what it will be. There is already something like it called the moxi or something.

Yeah, moxi kicked a$$ at CES this year, Maximus...

Homestation? I guess it's a fairly good idea. Although people should wait until all of the facts are released.
