I take that back. That was a swipe I should not have taken. My apologies. Comments in-line below.

So? They make great hardware. This is great news for a platform that doesn't have a wide selection in hardware.

Mine doesn't. I believe the Games tiles was on the front screen by default and that does have an XBox Live logo, but that was removed because Games aren't important to me. I suspect that if it was important to me I wouldn't mind the XBox Live logo.

What are your complaints about the Marketplace? Seems great to me.
