but i thought this new version of the 360 was suppost to be a reduced cost edition?
i wonder if its actually going to be more expensive than the 1st edition of teh 360...



the thing is, a bluray 360 won't be able to play old 360 games since they can't read hd-DVDs (at least i believe they can't....)
so gamers with the new console would have to buy an hd-dvd playing attachment if they want to run old games (most-likely)
this would probably cause angry gamers, and then they'll just switch to the less-complicated PS3 system...
Erm....games don't use HD-DVD.
