Before or after? Did you want it built in which could have meant an extra $100-200 maybe more for the 360 or once it became cheaper and screw all the previous owners who now have a drive that can't support future games? Also so far it hasn't been proven that the extra space is needed. Don't think and correct me if I am wrong there any games being cancelled for the 360 because of limited space. Again this could happen but lets wait until it is a real issue before assuming it will be. Obviously it would have been nice if HD-DVD would have won but the point is that by doing it the way they did they have an exit plan. Many believe that MS didn't really care about HD-DVD to begin with and was more of a diversion as what they will really focus is downloads which they control and make the most money. I say so far it has worked out fine not great since great would have meant HD-DVD winning but if the numbers are right they making money on their marketplace. Basically in terms of not being stuck with a dying format it has payed off.
