For me, a console with mouse, keyboard, joystick, web browser and email client would mean that I would have no need for a PC. Most people that I know do not use their PC for anything but Internet access. Maybe once in a while they'll try to play some game on their PC, but the console part of this device takes care of that.
One thing to consider is that PC monitor resolution and TV resolution used to be miles apart. It's tough to read computer text on a standard TV set. Maybe HD will address this.

Maybe HD will address this. Seeing as I've posted here from home before, that's a roger. |

I for one, won't give a shit until HDTVs come down in price to about the same as a nice CRT monitor.

I saw a 26" Widescreen CRT HDTV for $450 in one of Sunday's ads. |

It's only 34" deep, and only ways 185 pounds! |

Heh. You keep tellin' yourself that.
I'll be playing Oblivion on a 61" monitor. Which weighs 100lbs.

I like the CRT picture, but of course the tradeoff is that I have a 32" TV that weighs 250 pounds.

Currenly I do the majority of my gaming on a 21" LCD and 15" LCD. Honestly, I'm not losing much. Like movies, very few games need to be played on the Big Screen. I'd have to say about a year ago or so I kinda stopped caring about monitor size as long as the thing could at least do 720p - natively.

I have a comfy enough chair that the difference is nominal. The only thing hooked up to the TV in the living room that I don't have sitting at my desk is a 360. Which I'll eventually have at my desk. The 15" monitor was recently added so I could write while I was playing (it's important to note that I'm actually writing on the 21" and gaming on the 15", heh).
