well, thats great, except I dont' care about any of those points.  I have one tv with all my game systems connected to it, and I generally get every game system.  As you can imagine, it gets pretty messy.  Adding in some external hard drives adds to the mess.  

I'm not saying this is an issue for everybody, like you said, it isn't a big deal and some people may like having an external drive better.  Personally, I don't.  I'll still get an x1, but I would have liked the option to change out the internal drive, that is all I'm saying.  


I used 1 tb worth of data this gen. 

I expect to use 20 tb + for the whole of next gen. Will you really keep changing the internal Drive just to use different things? Its been an absolutre pain in the backside this generation. 

Couple that with moving to buy ALL my movies on Xbox Video and I will fill up an internal HDD quick. A library of installed 1080p films with special features and smartglass features are going to be big filoe sizes. 

External HDD's can be plugged in and removed in less than 2 seconds. Have them labeled to store tham in my entertainment draw. I really dont get the messy thing. They can be put away when not in use in less than 5 seconds.

wow, I won't use nearly that much space.  I might use 1, maybe 2 tb the whole gen. and why would I want to keep pulling out and putting away an external drive if I can just have an internal drive in the system all the time?  Honestly I don't know why this is a big deal for you that I would rather have an internal drive.  It is personal preference.  I already have a million cords everywhere in my entertainment center, and I don't want more random cords and hardware laying about down there than I absolutely have to.
