I'll second the HD-DVD/Blu-Ray combo drive. Not to support a dead format but you will have a huge block against piracy right there, and the tech is fully fleshed out and being sold for less than nothing.
I imagine we will see a 300 GB hard-drive built. I could easily see a special flash drive to take to store kiosks to buy games that way. But that would only be in addition to a disc drive.
Final* Word on Game Delays:
The game will not be any better or include more content then planned. Any commnets that say so are just PR hogwash to make you feel better for having to wait.
Delays are due to lack of proper resources, skill, or adequate planning by the developer.
Do be thankful that they have enough respect for you to delay the game and maintain its intended level of quality.
