They are all fine. They all play games. Different options just means more choices for different people. As long as what you buy plays the games you want is all that matters. If so many sku's bother you then don't buy them.

The true problem will only rear its ugly head when one model can play a game another model can't.


That won't happen, I'm sure they test the games on all models before releasing them.

 


Also is the same hardware. The only difference really is the hardrive space. Only thing I can see happening mainly for the 360 is that more games will need a hardrive which is fine as most have a hardrive and those that need it will just have to buy it. It is NOT a ripoff since you payed less for the hardrive less version and by then it might be cheaper so you end up saving more than those that bought it with the hardrive. Again ALL versions will play the games though I can see sometime in the future SOME games needing a hardrive.


I'm not sure Microsoft would allow that. They have rules for xbox 360 games (for example, anti-aliasing is mandatory), and I would be surprised if the rules allowed that.

 


 They have allowed it as the FF MMO requires the hardrive and they have said future MMO's can also require the hardrive.  Of course if the compression technology improves or other technologies are developed to allow all the data needed for future games to fit in a DVD9 then this won't be an issue at all.  I am just saying needing a hardrive is worse case scenario for the 360 sku's difference.
