why close it? Maybe an argument for moving the thread, but were on the verge of a breakthrough (allegedly) and were not meant to talk about it?
The real/fake debate is actually healthy, although if I read one more post saying "photoshop", I may start to scream.
Speculation can be pretty good as well. I'm sure we will find out in a matter of days so it is interesting to read how people think it has been hacked and what the limitations are.
aaarrrrrrggggghhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!
Scream all you want bitch...Its a photoshop. Plain and Simple.

Except you are dead wrong.
MS loses a massive amount on every console sold.
In fact, since the days of the Genesis and SNES, no console manufacturer has made money on the system hardware, they all sell at a loss.
So no, MS isn't doing this to sell more consoles. They watch the homebrew and modders because they can use their ideas in future commercial products, and they can't legally stop them anyway.
Altho this is true, in the end it compensates IMO so a modable console would be attractive to them and clients.
