True, but without a hard drive, you have pretty much eliminated all your movie, game, expansion and demo download capabilities.
Without the Hard Drive, the entire marketplace pretty much becomes obsolete.

No, because they're different generation consoles. If you're going to make an analogy, at least do it right"
It doesn't matter what generation an electronic device is from, what matters is the performance of the device.
If I released an empty box with a toy monkey sellotaped to the top, and marketed it as a next generation console alongside the 360, by your logic, if it was cheaper than the 360 it is the worthwhile purchase?

How useful is that actually going to be, though? Unless the console can detect each part of your body with high accuracy (i.e. work out what is your hand from the other parts of your body etc.) this functionality will be annoying, limited, if not completely useless. It simply makes me think of the EyeToy."
From the stage demonstrations, it seemed to do a lot more than just EyeToy.
