For me, the whole point of a console is to have a standard hardware that will be completely compatible with itself. A facelift (DS lite, the new PSP) etc is fine, putting in 65nm rather than 90nm to reduce power consuption and heat, all good. Just don't add/remove functionality all the time.
Every XBox 360 should have the same functionality, outputs, compatibility and add-on capability. If I want a hardware headache, I'll mess with my PC. The console should keeps things simple. Or is that too much to ask?

And what functionality has the Core Xbox 360 lost in the past 3 years? What upgrades are they incompatible with? The only actual addition to the 360 that older units did not have is HDMI, and that's it. The rest is modular, and any user could take a 2005 Core, and put a 120gb HDD on it, or whatever.
I do agree that MS should (IMO) have just the Arcade model, and then upsell to the bigger HDDs.

you proved ksv's point.
Why have it so that it's like a PC and you need to buy certain add-ons to retain functionality of it's bigger brothers?

isn't my XB a pc in the first place anyway ????
@epsilon : we don't know we are speculating
@finnbar : for profit man, why do you think Sony has all those awkward memory format in there product lines ?? just to make sure you have to buy their prod or a no name brand
@NJ5 : yeah or you bundle it with the first couple game requiring a HDD... I think it could be a good thing for the XB to make it standard to allow devs to use it.... now I see your point too, I just see my interest first there lol :P
