Scoble links to a funny comment about spending options (vis-a-vis the XBox 360, which starts at $300). There's a serious thing going on with Sony's recent step into an ever growing manure pile of DRM - combined with the fact that the PS3 won't ship until next year.

MS has a real shot to eat up a large piece of the market share that Sony currently owns in this space. I wonder how big an impact it would make if they could increase the number of available systems for Christmas, and offer a discount - say $50 or so - to anyone who can prove that they own a PS2? It's a potential clock cleaning moment for MS, and I'm not sure that they fully grasp that.
