People are happy to go out in their millions and buy Balance boards, drumkits, guitars, microphones, multiple controllers, steering wheels.  One cable is not a barrier to purchase, that's one hideous excuse.

Nope its just a waste of time.

Probably not M$ will not spend the money developing a new design unless Ps3 starts outselling 360 agaain.

All of which you named are to play games. How about the HD-DVD add on? Pseye? Pstoy? Sega's add ons? N64's ram upgrade?

I was referring to a cable being packaged with a console but I take your point onboard.  Microsoft are hardly charitable when it comes to a chance to sell another accessory given their past history.

maybe one day~

All i was asking for.

Only if it fixes RROD.

For hard drive solution they would just bundle it with a higher size HD or have people buy bigger hard drives, and probably include a free transfer cable.

Face plates? *shrugs*

Yes to counter Sonys next move.

They could slim the Xbox 360 down a little, they could take a little over an inch of depth and a few inches of height off but really its simply not worth it. A PS3 slim is about the same dimensions of the current Xbox 360 anyway.
