Xbox 360 at CES

this is what i beleive Bill Gates will announce at CES:

Given that HD-DVD is pretty much dead with warner Brothers jumping exclusivly to blu-ray, is no concern for MS because MS does not care about HD-DVD or Blu-Ray; their goal from the beginning is digital downloads. This is the future. Any disc - whether cd, dvd, hd -dvd, blu-ray - is stone age. Most people (xbox users)are worried about future games ca

acitybeing that MS is limited to about 8 gigs with dvd9. MS works on compression tools 24/7, any developer has access to this and will not havea problem with gamesfor at least another 4-5years, in which MS will probably release a new system anyway. If there is anything that could be used for both the Xbox and PS3, it would be memory - 512 does not cut it. DVD9 is nota problem so let's end that here.

What I think MS will announce at CES is a revamped XBOX live (which they need givenall the problems this holiday season) and inexpensive Hard drives, so that core users can buy them. I believe they will offer a 40 Gig for about 40-50 dollars, 120 gig will drop to 99.99 and a monster 300-400 gig for about 150 - 199. This is in preparation for iptv asdn a much more expansive video library, plus the ability to have all xbox 360 users with a hard drive to allow games to access it when neede for compression and better game play, I know Mass Effect could have had a better frame rate and load time if it was allowed to access the hard drive. What do you all think?

is there any need for the 300g plus HD if all you do on the 360 is game?Tx-1000

Not at all but if they do follow through with ipTV, then a large hard drive would be great to have.
