Just a rumour at this point, but most of this seems plausible... Anyone with a shred of sense wouldn't have completely written off the Nextbox without waiting to hear from Microsoft. I'll continue to wait until their actual announcement...
If true though, The 360 b/c add-on for the Durango reminds me way too much of the DVD add-on for the original Xbox, and is a pretty shameless example of the nickel and dime'ing currently going on in the industry. Put a 360 disc into the Durango unit, and it asks to make sure the separate add-on is attached before it will play? Need some more clarification on that point. Makes it sound like the Durango has backwards capability out of the box, but they just restrict it... *shakes head*.
It's all about the game.
