True true on the american company... But do some research where they are made... Hungary, China and mexico...
I have mine set up as a media server, I download on my pc then just grab the remote and play movies from my pc.
now add up all the time cards, your wireless controllers, your wireless adapter, the hard drive if you had to pay for it and anything else that you might need and I bet that it cost more for an xbox...
