i think the whole scene has got out of hand, we have two excellent hardware manufacturers here haggling over nothing, they seem to be just adding more and more features that are ultimatly useless.
sure its nice to have some of those things, but i for one would rather have somethin, cheap, easy to use and error free, the more stuff they add to these things, the more room for error is in manufacture (as proven by recient x2 chips with upside down connectors and poorly fitting usb sockets) and more room for user error when he doenst know what the hell hes doing
i have a £2 cheapmod in my xbox and theres nothing i need it to do more than it already does
