To get back to an old sunject on this thread, why are so may people in such an uproar over whether or not the XBox has a DVD/WebTV/UltimateTV/Toaster in it? Who cares?

Myself, I use my Xbox for a DVD player all the time. In fact its actually better than by current DVD player in that its never skipped or stalled once. I would also use the Ultimate TV feature all the time to make sure I never miss one second of wrestling action Everyone I know who has Tivo or something like it says they love it and would never go back to regular TV watching.

But my main question is this: Do all these added features HURT your gaming experience? Do they make the games not run as well? Do they hurt the graphics or gameplay or sound? The answer... NO. Infact the addition of DVD features may actually help gamers by making the aaddition of better sound and video components more advantageous (sp?) to the console makers.

In fact, the additon of these elements are actually good for the gaming industry by giving parents an added incentive for getting their kid what they've been screaming aabout for the past 4 months. The idea of the "total entertainment console" is a good one for the gaming industry, as it integrates gaming into everyday family life. The idea is to make gaming as common place as VCRs, DVDs and Stereos.

Entertainment consoles are a GOOD thing for gamers, not a bad thing.
