[plug] XBox price dropping to $399

[Mark Nold]

So if we go out and buy PS2 and Xbox's then convert them to Linux and use
them for education or business... you could probably claim em on tax...
(IANAA) but then again i suppose you couldnt play those lovely games on
em...

mmm Metal Gear...

You could justify an XBox as a development tool:

The site looks sad but there is real info on the dox page. Buying an XBox
*costs* Microsoft money (even more at this price) so I rate it a good idea.
