MS will definately not use hd-dvd. The format is dead and the fight is over. It will never ever come back, not even for games. If they would pull something like that off it has to be a dual hd dvd and blu ray player where you could only play games if its an hd dvd. The first time around it was easy to accept it didnt have a blu ray drive. The next time it needs one, not only for the capacity but also to play blu ray movies. Yes, MS is aiming at digital content, but by 2012 the masses will not be ready for it. As well as the limited bandwith. These things take a huge amount of time to change.

I probably see MS putting loads of ram into their system, especcially if prices of ram remain this low. They might even go for an ssd, although thats probably wishfull thinking. internal hdd, i doubt it. They make too much money selling those things seperately. But you might be right on that one.

 

Considering the way memory prices are crashing, I hope next-gen returns to solid memory, AKA cartridges.

I can't wait until we get rid from optical drives and the massive amounts of reliability issues they introduce. Cartridge systems like the NES or the GENESIS are still working 15 years later. If you want to watch movies, get a dedicated player!
