Thanks for that I had no idea. I can see how those extra ports come in handy.

I'll concede that I'm gaming the system. I'll disagree that it is not a working xbox (works fine). I'll agree I'm not evil (it's business - but how far off is that from evil?). I'll thank you for your counter points (I actually really appreciate them). I'll reassert that the onus is on GS to...
