I vote that it does the GameCube thing. That was truly epic.

Undersell and get built into the next Wii?

Slot loading drive please.

With a green light!

4 green lights, to replace the ROL on the current console.

only if it glows green and say yom yom yom when you put your dvd in the first time



I hope you are right. Slot loading DVD for the 360. Internal HDD would be an added bonus. Allow third party HDDs similar to the PS3 would be a smart move by MS. USB support for the 360 is also on its way.



Blu Ray detractors already showed it clearly: physical formats, and particularly optical drives, are passé. So XB360 Go Slim will have only digital download.

Edit: And no standard equipped HDD. Beggars buying the Arcade version will have to read byte streams on the fly and learn them by heart.

I'd rather it does it the PS2 Slim way.

It looks cool and all and my slot loading drive on my laptop hasn't given me trouble. But aren't there reliability issues with them compared to the trays?


They're much quieter, that's all that matters to me. It would probably hold your disc more securly unlike the current drives. If you move your xbox while the disc is spinning your going to here a nasty grinding sound.



I don't think it will be slot loading M$ will try to cut the cost to possibly drop the price again. I think it will

be a flip open kind like the PS2 slim. That's considering that the slim Rumors are true.

That's why it's only retards that move it while the disc is spinning.

Well it has a sticker which will peal off after five minutes saying 'do not move your console while a disc is inside'
