The big question is, are there actually people stupid enough to try this out? I mean a permanently banned console is worthless, and basically throwing your money away...

Whatever you say Microsoft...
Seems clear they would rather gimp their consoles and screw over gamers before paying Blu-Ray royalties to Sony...
Nice priorities....
My broadband has trouble with iPlayer at busy times of day, a 720p HD picture that's reliable and not compressed to hell is still a VERY long way away, let alone a 1080P one. I am not out in the stick, I live in a large UK city, half a mile from my exchange.
Microsoft are in cuckoo land if the really think Blu-Ray quality HD content can be delivered to everyone in the next 10 years. Clearly they only started thinking this way after the failure of HD-DVD...
and PS Move is WAY better. By a factor of 10.
The games are WAY better too. At least the EU Move games....

As for the idiots tht think this is a Wiimote copy. You know it predates the WiiMote by at least 3 years? The following video is from 2003
Errm, have you ACTUALLY looked at Opera? FF4 and Chrome have pretty much ripped off Opera's UI verbatim...
It's a vicious circle. People don't include Opera because of it's marketshare, thus it never improves it's marketshare.
Slashdot actively declines submissions about Opera, but hapilly accepts the same submissions about Firefox. I have tested some submissions which are copies of approved Firefox stories relating to Opera, and they never get approved...
Not that I really care. I know that Opera is the best browers, I just laugh at all the losers that can't discover that for themselves and rely on the media and manipulated bencharks to tell them what to use.
They did test, found out Opera came out on top, so used an old version of Opera instead...
Clearly they knew what result they wanted before they started and manipulated the versions under test to achieve that.
You would have to be a moron to actually believe this source.
We all know Opera 10.62 pretty much rules is ALL benchmarks (including Mozillas own). This joke post decides to use an old version of Opera and new versions of other browsers...
Anyone that thinks this benchmark has ANY credibility because they have cherrypicked new development versions vs older slower versions of other browsers is frankly, a fool.
Opera 10.62 is 50% faster than Opera 10.5
Saw a demo of this yesterday, and can't say i'm that impressed. Gonna give it a miss. It's just another cash-in rehash. I'm sure scores of dumb American trailer-trash fanboys will queue up at K-Mart to buy this on their Xboxes thou...
Good riddance to the freetards in life. Why should I pay more because THEY freeload.
Hey moron, Opera has all of those, in Opera it's not just an Adblocker, it's a full blown content blocker, you can block adverts, flash, ANY plugin, cookies or remote javascript.
I think that's the wrong question, as Chrome really is a poor alternative to Opera these days. Opera does everything Chrome does, better, faster and more complete.
So what does Opera do that Firefox can't? A hell of a lot... You might want to check it out. It already comes with a full content blocker, noscript, greasemonkey and sycing capabilites all built right in.
It thrashes chrome is performance, it totally obliterates Firefox.

Opera Mobile is the most widely used mobile webbrowser, significantly ahead of webkit.
On the desktop it's marketshare is small, but it's by far the best product. This only highlights how product quality has no bearing on what American consumers use, they just use what the New York Times tells them to use.
And pretty darn awesome it is too. Feels much faster than both Chrome and Firefox, is more fully features than them too.
I also like the really decent content and plugin blocking options, global and per-site.
