Seeing as the Elite is only $20 cheaper than the 60Gb PS3, they would have to seriously reduce the cost of the unit to incorporate an HD-DVD ($150 worth) for only $20 more.

I reckon they aren't making a profit on the Elite model, so I doubt they would be able to include an HD-DVD for only $20 more.

Also, I doubt MS would go down the road as to choose what next gen DVD format to incorporate in their system. There's one thing having an external drive....but another incorporating it in the system.

I read somewhere that Microsoft makes $131 profit off of every Elite sold. Even if that is true it wouldn't make sense creating another SKU. I would rather a price drop anyhow!

I think a $131 is on the low side actually Godbless. As of November of last year MS was making nearly $77 in profit off of each premium 360 sold.
