Did you notice that out of all the game consoles, the XBox is the biggest, heaviest, and also has a bulging top? The top being non flat makes it hard to put things on top of. I bet someone at Microsoft had this great idea -- if we make the top non-flat, people cannot stack things on top of it, and they have to put the box on the top of everything else, with our logo displayed all the time !! talk about MSArrogant.
