wait why a 360 SOC would be a big cost increase again ??? a brand new XB today goes for 99 bucks in retail stores.... so a 360 SoC would be what 20 bucks COG for MS... it might cut their profit on day one but certainly not hike the launch price....
and people forget something why not use the 360 SoC for background tasks while gaming.... If the Xbox TV is true why not be able to have TV broadcast in overlay in one corner of the screen and Skype VoIP simultaneously in the other corner ( I know I know it's crowding the screen) but hey at least I could follow the news cast, chat with relatives and see them, while not stopping my play session and that could be handled by the 360 SoC.... it makes perfect sense to me and I'm sure there are plenty of other stuff that could be imagined in that way.... use the 360 SoC for everything non gaming and leave the full power of the Durango for the game...
