Better than X-Box??
The Next X-Box??
This is a PC/X-Box that runs windows and can play X-Box Games and also regular PC Games. I think it might play DVD's too, and also have a hard drive to do Tivo type recording for TV programs.
The ariticle is too long to post so just read it here

This story smells like internet trickery to me, young stalward! While I am fairly sure that MS has something like this in mind, I don't believe that they would name that product "Homestation" or "anything-station".

Although research might have already started for a possible successor to Xbox, I doubt that this story is true. Just look at the name of the system -- HomeStation. I know that names of systems are tentative, but I don't think MS would ever name a game system with "Station" in it -- that moniker is too related to Sony.

"Homestation Update"
I saw this while looking through some Nvidia investment information today.
The Xbox could be just the ticket for micro$oft to get into the home entertainment hardware business.

Prudential Financial analyst Hans Mosesmann said in a note
that there is evidence to prove the existence of
"HomeStation." The device, rumored to be under development at
Microsoft, would combine a DVD player, personal computer,
digital video recorder, broadband Internet access and
Microsoft's Xbox video game console.
Nvidia makes the graphics chip for Xbox, and Mosesmann
said HomeStation could be a greater market opportunity for the
company than the game console has been.
