Why are all the xbox rumors filled with seemingly stupid design choices? Once more I find myself doubting the validity of all this, the specs might be close to truth but the functionality and other issues seem way off.
Using their own format instead of an industry standard seems pretty silly, especially if they want the whole "living room entertainment box" business model to be viable.
Its too early by far to go digital only so they need a physical format, resurrecting the HD-DVD would be folly and flash or other similar formats aren't at all viable alternatives as far as production costs and materials are concerned.
