If you could choose one... as a prize of a sweepstack i.e., which one would you go for? Who knows... maybe in the close future we will have one

I voted for the GBA and flash linker! But second choice would be a Gamecube!

-Although, I read that a X-box can be used as a file server!

Yeah, it is / will be possible to use the xbox as a storage server. Some companies have considered using a cluster of xboxes, with different hdds, and that way save costs. It might also be possible in the future, with linux installed, to run apache on it and that way reducing downtime seeing as how you only need to turn it off and back on again.

If you check www.slashdot.org's archives you can probably find some elaboration.

It was said that Microsoft is loosing money on hardware, so doing chains of X-Boxes and not getting games for it you would be ruining their business.

Ok, I guess you fear more about the third world than Microsoft, it was just to let you know,

It's of today the new that X-Box is selling bad in Europe, Australia and Japan, though no official note from MS... instead they say everything is going great.
