Correction for java.user

This system has THREE custom designed dual core processors
and a custom built video processor. It's not hard to imagine that
this is...gasp...HARD TO BUILD. Not only that, Microsoft is
attempting to launch globablly so it's entering three different
markets in a month.

There is only one processor. it's a triple core IBM PPC
running at 3.2 GHz. from Microsoft's own website.

The custom-designed Xbox 360 central processing unit (CPU)
runs at a breakneck speed, thanks to its three separate core
processors that clock in at 3.2 GHz each.

It's most likely a plan to limit supply to keep demand high. This
is a proven concept. Harley Davidson has done this for years, to
keep the prices high.
