I love my Xbox's homebrew capabilities, and have recommended Xbox+modchip purchases to many friends for its tremendous potential as a media center and emulation station, in addition to running commercial Xbox games.
The lack of real homebrew support on the 360 made me hesitant to buy one. I don't like XNA, Microsoft's attempt to profit on the free works of others.
Microsoft needs to embrace the homebrew community that helped make the original Xbox more useful, not exploit them with this XNA crap. If it was a viable solution, we wouldn't have so many people trying to do things other ways. I'm sad that nobody's succeeded yet.
While its tablet world topping pixel density, Tegra 2 silicon, and fresh to death OS certainly sound awesome, we had to get our grubby mitts on one to see if it's as good as its spec sheet would have us believe.
