I know of the I-PHONE and I-PAD. I am talking about an I-CONSOLE. I know they have been talking about it...
Yes and they will come out with 3 different versions One that plays 4 games, one that will play 8 games and then one that will play 12 games and in a year they will rerelease a newer version that will let you play 16 games on a bigger TV. Oh and it will not let you plug anything into it , You will only be able to buy games from Apple, and will not I repeat will not support flash .
You like a product that can be hacked/messed with and play/use for free kinda stuff. It can be fixed/patched by community not a single company.
and the other side is a product that can't be hacked/cracked/messed with it easly. Yes is working but you need to spend more $$$ to do other stuff. And you will have to wait for patches fixes from only that company, they may force you to upgrade it and maybe even pay for patches.
You got the idea.

As a reply to Sparky. MS **wanted** their product to be hacked as there was no way they would have ever caught up with the Sony and Nintendo market share if they had initially started off with a more hack-proof box. Once all these boxes were hacked and online ... and all these ***kids*** hooked on the "crack" the money started rolling in. Wonder how much the online gaming is bringing in now that they have market share.

Actually Ian, Apple *did* try to release a console but it never made it past development. It was called the Pippin. I played one back when they were still working on it.. it was poop.
If you want to get technical though, the 360 *is* a Mac.. in fact, the original dev units were Apple G5 prototypes.

Yup I find it so funny for Microsoft to take the apple background to make there system. But as for the hacks that's not really their fault. The reason it was so easy they had to use drives that are already made because if they would dev their own drive it would be not cost effective. As for sony every piece in the system was sony dev so took longer. They only recently started to hack the actual os by exploit on the board via jtag but personally i will keep paying microsoft money and buying the games because i personally love xbox live. Even tho I had my account hacked somebody used it for 3 weeks till i realized did not use it much when i was working crazy hours. I reported it my gamer score was ridiculous number they made me change my nick online and said all would be fine. Then 3 weeks ago i was deemed a cheater and my gamer score wipe to 0 and all past games i had and wanted to get achievements for i cant get but future games i will tho. But I found out that the live service is run not by MS but all MS developers once decision is made your F oh well. As for sony every piece in the system was sony dev so took longer.

Life is like Pinball!! You never know where you will bounce or where your going but sometimes you have that one amazing shot But on the other hand you have those darn gutter ball where you just get frustrated.

The only thing a 360 has in common with a (5 year old) Mac is the use of an IBM PowerPC processor. Current macs don't use that processor. The G5 macs made good dev boxes for the 360 because it was the cheapest PowerPC computer you could get at the time.

I know.
Funny thing actually, the original 360 design had liquid-cooled heatsinks.. If they had only gone with this design, it's likely the RROD plague would never have happened! But then, the console would've cost more.. so, ya win some.. ya lose some!
