NFL 2K5 ROCKED!!! From the first time I played 2K sports titles (football, basketball,etc), I have not purchased an EA sports game since. And I agree totally with Mike Berglund...If 2K5 updated its rosters online every year...The end product would be leaps and bounds over Madden 07!

@ aragon...I totally agree. I didn't purchase the PSP for the same reason...Too much going on under the hood! With my design of the XPX, its intent with video is not full-length movies. It is the same offerings as XBOX Live on the 360...quick commentary videos, movie trailers, etc. Your messaging point can't be counter-pointed...but to be competitive in this market the functionality has to be there.

@ KingofGods...You are spot on! Your statements reinforce my response to aragon. Except with all types of media outside of games. Imagine the possibilities! You're @ work, on a business/family trip and the demo for Gears of War just dropped! No warning of this anywhere on the net. The XPX could remotely confirm the download for you to have your 360 start the dl while you're away! You are simultaneously connected to both devices are each are independent in terms of storage space. But both can adequately enjoy the XBOX Live experience.

@ DannyOB...The sweetspot for the handheld market is ridding the devices of hardware proprietary formats. The DS/PSP both have such. The delivery of content has changed the software market. Xbox Live is taking advantage of this now and should consider a handheld device to take advantage also. Thus making the online service the software proprietary format! However, I do not see a Xbox branded handheld as open as say a GPX with emulators an such. The business model for these type systems were flawed. I call it "legitimate theft" and the industry will never take hold of such devices.

If anyone knows of ways to get an actual production model of my XPX made, shoot me an email to portablexbx@hotmail.com. Thats how strong I feel about this design! --CB
