For all the good the no online requirement and used games rumors do, this whole stackable console megazord type BC stuff just seems stupid. Reeks of old Sega mistakes.

Maybe so, but SMS BC was nice on the Megadrive and optional user-pays BC is a good compromise. Also consider: this suggests some sort of high bandwidth external interface, implying that the Xbox may have scope for being upgradeable. While that may have been confusing back in the day of the 32x, upgradeable consoles a'la the Steam thing seem desirable now.
