And I'm sure that $400 will really put a dent in his multi-million dollar salary.

But we all know the *real* truth why Ballmer doesn't want an XBox360: he's scared his house will catch on fire.

Ballmer hasnt bought one yet cause he knows its garbage.  I knew the 360 would have problems, but this is rediculous. CNN reported something like 16% of all 360s sold the first week were returned because of hardware/software conflicts.

I'll wait until I see a stable production run before I go shelling $500 for a console. Until then, Dig Dug suits me just fine.

I find that story a little far-fetched.

At any rate I bought one and haven't had any problems up to this point. I love it!
