"A recent Digg blog campaign sought to credit Microsoft with an early lead in using its Xbox 360 against Apple’s iTunes, iPod, and the forthcoming iTV in rival efforts to sell movies online--or in Microsoft’s case, to sell exploding media rentals.
However, the story failed to mention that Microsoft has only sold 6 million XBox 360s in the last year, and most these require a hard drive upgrade in order to download movies. Digg users fell for the story and it was widely propagated through the blogosphere as a news item.
Is it possible that anonymous blogs, popping out of nowhere without any history, might lack credibility and have ulterior motives? Haha."

Yet another decent point from Roughly Drafted...
