Its got a PowerPC core so the machine code is incompatible with Intel parts
unless you run an emulator - then it will perform like a dog.
------ but you could run Mac software on it?

I definitely will be at some point but I am uncertain as to whether I will
be buying one at launch. It depends on the price. October will be the time
when Christmas is coming and I am expecting a Christmas holiday abroad. So
I need to save for that.

Not with a name like Xbox360 or in that nasty off white.

Erm, it's a game console so surely it does what it should do out of the box?
Will you say the same about the PS3?

Yes, I know that. The OP said to wait for a chip so the console can be
'used like it should be'. The use of the xbox is to play games, DVDs and
CDs. Adding a chip allows it to do more than that. My point was that
without a chip it is doing exactly what it should. You do not need a chip
for the console to be 'used like it should be'.

Aye - chipping is odd - I buy a PS2 and it just works 
However I can
see the benefits in chipping - a mate of mine has done wonders with
his Xbox and, for the sake of how much time and research a project
would take up, I'd do it myself.
