Youtube charging for downloads?

toohotforwords

Is Youtube starting to charge for downloads?? Was this just me or was this something in the news that I missed today. I started watching this video of  TooHotforWords.com and there was a link below it for $0.99 for the download of the video via Google checkout. Is Youtube out of their minds??? Youtube is the king of FREE videos. Where on the face of this planet would someone pay for a FREE video?? Really?? Do you know h0w MANY YouTube downloaders there are out there. Did YouTube really think this one through??!!

If you would pay for a good, high quality version of a video, please leave a comment below, because right now, I know of no one!

XBOX 360 Elite Price Drop

xboxelitesmall

So a few days ago, Microsoft announced that the Xbox 360 elite’s price will drop by $100. Along the same lines, the Pro will drop by $50 and the Arcade  will stay the same. There also will be some new packaging with the new price drop, that you will see in the weeks to come as the retail stores get their shipments in. This is right in line with the release of the sony PS3 Slim. This new announcement still keeps the Xbox cheaper than the PS3 and hopefully sell more units.

You can see some of the new packaging at Major Nelson’s Flickr account here.
