Expensive racket ball too

"Microsoft hardware partners including Gateway, Dell, and Samsung Electronics will sell the extenders, which should be on the market by year's end and will come in the shape of set-top boxes or built into televisions. The boxes should cost between $300 and $600, Microsoft officials say."

OUCH!! Me thinks I will stay with my Sony Betamax, slide projector, 8mm movies and 45rpm records and cassete tape player. Thet're paid for.
