The EGM Article with Jack Tretton is very Irresponsible and NOT Truthful.

Quoting the Article
“Out of all the Things you just listed, only Blu-Ray and free online are your real advantages. You can do all those other things on the Xbox 360… for $200 Less.”

Completely Wrong!

You cannot Rip Music from CDs on the $299 Xbox. You cannot save your game on the $299 Xbox.
You cannot Download Demos and Videos on a $299 Xbox.
You cannot play Xbox1 Games on a $299 Xbox.
You Cannot Online Game on a $299 Xbox. You can if you buy a $40 Memory Card or $99 Hard Drive plus $49 Xbox Live (PER YEAR).
Oh yeah… Did these guys know there is a $499 PS3 out there??? They only mention the PS3 being $600.

The way I see it, the Xbox 360 is $399 Plus $49/Year.
That is $644 for 5 Years and does not Include a Next Gen DVD Player.

Haha, no actually JT handled it quite well. At one point he was putting them in their place in his responses to the point where there started asking weak, short-winded questions.

The editor is saying you can do all the things on a premium 360 that you can on the premium Ps3! There is also more you can do on the 360, but I am not going to go into that territory, that is system wars material!

First there is no reason to rip any cds to the 360 as you can stream video, pictures and music from your PC and keep everything in one place. You can download  some demos with the 299 xbox providing it can  hold on a memory card which cost less than $20 on ebay. The $499 PS3 will not exist shortly....sony has plans to stop producing it. Xbox Live can be purchased for about $30.00 for the year on Ebay and it's worth every penny.

Did someone get their panties in a bunch? You need to rip out your hemorrhaging fanboy heart and chill out. When a company sits down with a reporter or journalist, punches are thrown, and weapons are brandished. In the end, both parties came out with a bloody lip and a throbbing head. This is not something to throw a hissy over. Dan Shoe said that this was originally supposed to be a roundtable sit-down with all three companies, but only Sony was able to make it. The same would have happened to both Nintendo and Microsoft had the sit-down happened. The only one who has sold out here is clearly you.
