Microsoft will bundle XBox and UltimateTV

According to a Red Herring's article, Microsoft has been developing a special version of XBox which would include Microsoft's UltimateTV.

UltimateTV has been one of the many not-so-successful Microsoft campaigns to conquer new market sectors. UltimateTV is ultimately :) a competitor for TiVo and ReplayTV. Also, the bundle would bring a static income flow to Microsoft from UltimateTV subscribers as well, since using UltimateTV costs $9.95 a month.

I think Its going to be in Xbox 2. Xbox 2 is going to be the best in the world way better than playstation 3. I bet its going to have way better graphics too, only if they copy like they copied the xbox live communicator.Playstation sucks!!!!
