* We have no plans to include an HD DVD drive in an Xbox 360, and in fact, we won’t put games on HD DVD.
* The Xbox 360 is built to be modular, and while we haven’t announced anything specific, the hard drive on the Xbox 360 was made to be easily swapped out.
* We have made no announcements about a new SKU, any new accessories, or any plans for a price drop.

Then you'll probabably NEVER want to buy a next-gen console, from any manufacturer.

Nintendo came out with the GBA, then the improved SP with backlight, then a even more improved SP with a brighter backlight, then a mini GBA with backlight...all at the same or lower prices.

At least with the 360, it's upgradable. You can buy the HD-DVD drive. You'll probably be able to buy the bigger hdd. The only thing that wouldn't be doable is the HDMI...but not having that capability probably affects very few.

The real irony would be if this thing ends up costing 500-600 dollars.

That is the key. Hopefully they've learned from Sony that price DOES make a difference.

Probably heh. What I meant was that I never buy the first generation of any console as a newer or "fixed" version comes out. Like the launch PS2 and then the slim PS2. I'll probably buy a PS3 when the price comes down in the year 2100.

well if you wait till "2100" you'd probably be paying tons more than what they are asking now

the value of the dollar has only gone down over time... your buck goes for less and less as time crawls forward.

IMO, the slim Ps2 is a first-gen system, compared to the last full revision of the full-size PS2 system.

I still want one, though, just to free up a bit of room in my TV stand.
