I'd be glad if the slim had a SDHC slot they'd let us use as the "internal" X360 HDD but it won't happen, it would cost them millions in revenue.

 

 I wonder about that. How much money does Mircosoft really make of the sales of the HDD? I know they have fat margins on it but are the sold HDD accessory quantities large enough to be worthy of protection?

I believe Microsoft makes most of its profit on game royalties and Live subscriptions. They more units sold, as long as they are not sold at a lost, the greater their on-going revenue stream.
