You do of course realize the XBX was nothing more than a large scale beta test right? Basically they toss it out to the world then tell people it is unhackable, then to prove a point people instantly hack it and show all the flaws, they also show what it can be capable of doing (used as a server, media agent etc.), then MS takes those hacks and creates a new improved system using much of the hacks and seals it up a bit better and kicks out the 360.

Smartest thing MS has done yet when you think about it, use it's detractors to make itself stronger in the end.
