Just the way it is with the form of the modern console, really. I guess its down to the platform makers to ensure the functionality makes it worthwhile..although I know some will never be happy about it. But it's worth thinking that if "all" these machines did was play games, they may not be able to - strategically or otherwise - justify the investment made in technology on their behalf, and justify the amount that gets packed in for the price we pay. So that's another way to look at it..give a little to get a lot.
