Does seem a little late in the consoles life cycle to be doing somthing this expensive just for a few extra gig storage.

How expensive is it?

a firmware upgrade...?

pretty much free.

i think theyre talking about development cost for microsoft, not the cost to the end user.

it really depends on what their goals were, what transfer rate were they aiming for and are they limited to the standard dvd drives 650nm laser? how much storage did they want?

we really cant know what the development cost is at with what we know

Well clearly anything they are doing is limited to the current 360 hardware. So we are only talking software development.

not necessarily... they could be developing a new way to layer discs or a new disc altogether
