To end discussion, It will use Blu-ray.

Trust Me.

A hard drive that is also an xbox portable.

well, no. But that would be cool. If it was a good handheld.

I really hope that the next MS console does include a BD drive, this would be good for Microsoft but it would be a big big win for Sony, b/c MS would have to pay Sony for the rights to include the BD drive, and Sony has all the bargaining power so they'll no doubt make MS pony up and if MS doesn't want to pay up....well Sony can just tell em that they can't include it b/c Sony is the only one with intellectual property rights on BD, not the BDA or any other company.

The next console will have either a Blu-Ray drive or a hybrid Blu-Ray/HD DVD drive, failing the sudden emergence of a new cheap, high-storage media in the next year.

If hybrid drives are cheap they will use HD DVD for games where possible to limit piracy. Funnily enough, I think it's more likely Sony will be averse to using a hybrid drive because of the crow they would have to swallow than it is Microsoft will be averse to the use of a Blu-Ray drive.

Furthermore, anyone who thinks that Sony's PS4 will launch more than a year after Xbox 3 is a fool. Anyone that thinks that MS will dump the 360 right after launching their next console is a fool two times over. The 360 is profitable, and dumping it anytime within the next three years won't make sense unless it STOPS being profitable.

They would probably use Blu-ray and have much larger hard drives. I'm not ready for a new generation, feels like this one's just started..

Or maybe cartridges will come back?

Anyone?
