lol we none this for ages. thats why microsoft dont want 3d on xbox. cos xbox absalutly hates 1080p so it would be even harder to make 3d

Actually the Xbox 360 could do 3D even better than the PS3 could except for the fact it doesn't have HDMI 1.3 which is easily fixable with a hardware revision. The big issue is the legacy of all the Xbox 360s which will be incapable. I guess its a good reason to go out and get the slim eh?

I don't think MS can change hardware specs just like that. It would be as bad or worse than suddenly approving the release of games that required an HDD to play.

Worse from the standpoint that it tells consumers if you want to play this, buy a new Xbox. We've seen a lot of console add ons over the year, but no mid-cycle changes that actually required the consumer to replace the console itself.

 

Its a minor standard. They could do it, but they won't likely do it as they cannot justify the software costs to third parties. Its not changing a spec, its just accepting a higher standard. Its no more different in a practical sense to them upgrading the wireless adapter to the N specification. I don't believe they are going to do it, but with Natal and keeping the system on the market longer I'd say they would have at least thought about it.
