No Blu-Ray, no interest. SD-DVD is pretty much a dead format.

Wasn't "Xbox Next" one of the proposed names when the 360 was in development?

We will hear more rumours in early 2012.I think for now M$ is going to change their minds a couple of times. Some how it needs to intergrate with Win 8. To M$ I can see them roll out a whole new Win8 line including xbox.

It doesn't need to do that, but that's what they would be after. I for one dread that day as much as I dread the new 360 dash release next month. If they want to impress, make it so users can have their own custom dash board, that would blow away their competition.

I know at least they should make it look real just like some of those fake ones that was shown on youtube website hehe :)
and yes Xbox next was 360 and xbox Xeon but it turns out xeon is emulator created by someone else. I wish they kept that name rather than xbox 360.
I bet that this console will not allow xbox/xbox360 support. MS just wants people to buy their new console to make more money that's why they stopped XBOX support on 360.

HD DVD may be dead for video standards but that doesn't mean Microsoft can't alter the medium for video games. This way they don't have to pay Sony licensing fees for Blu-Ray but move to a higher capacity medium.

If it has BWC its a near instant buy if not when it gets around 200$ is when I will bother with it.

Nope MS uses DVD9, HD DVD was an add on drive they made and it was movie only.

Nope up until this point in time they were still using the standard DVD format. They only offered an add-on for HD-DVD and once HD-DVD got phased out so did the add-on. I guess you can call it a safe move on microsofts behalf.

I dunno looking at how elusive HD DVD is/was it would have been better for them to have went with HDDVD from the start.

It will be something along these lines. Don't I remember reading one of their spokesman say they will under no circumstances give in to the BluRay "craze?" Pretty sure they're all about getting paid royalties or whatever but aren't willing to do the same vice versa; they'll kill themselves off before they start giving Sony $10 a console or whatever licensing costs are.

also there was an update for 360 that uses Dual layer disc unless update not out yet but I know there was a beta ver out for testing few months ago. PS3 uncharted 3 almost couldn't fit into blu ray disc format.

Xbox 360 has always had support for dual layer DVDs. The firmware I believe you are talking about is MS is doing something different with the way discs data is written to them and they get a few hundred MB of extra data on the disc. I can see MS using HDDVD if they don't want to pay Sony for blu use. They would be stupid to do that because not many people own HDDVD's any more. Almost all consoles to come out in the future will support the newest medium out and that is blu-ray.

No, they cost $60 because they know they can get it. The difference in production costs between a DVD and an HD media format is negligible. One important bit that Nintendo seems to be missing is that it is useful for a device to be able to do more than one thing. DVD support was enough of a side use when the 360 was launched...and now BluRay support has become that same minimum. Like it or not, BluRay won the war and it isn't even the future...it is the present.

I have to respectfully disagree with you there. I really dont think the ability to play DVD(360) or BluRay(PS3) is a really all that vital. Look at the Wii, despite the inability to play DVDs, by default, it was dominating the console war this time around. Sony was able to capitalize on the fact the PS3 was the cheapest BluRay player on the market in the early days, but a new BluRay player can be had for under $90 now. Is DVD/BluRay playback convenient? Sure, I admit I use my PS3 and 360 for those uses in my living room entertainment center, but the fact Nintendo can sell the Wii as is I think Microsoft and Sony could leave out video playback and still make a killing. Actually, I hate to say it, but it would be smart of Sony to disable BluRay playback. Most people will buy a BluRay player in time(I believe DVD is still outselling BluRay at this time) and then Sony is in a win win situation. Not only do they make money from the console, they make a slight profit regardless of if the customer picks out a top of the line or bottom of the line BluRay player.
