Microsoft prepping Xbox 360 Slim? - Blu-ray Forum

They probably want to fix the RROD issue so they figured out a new layout for the innards. How long do you think until the next generation xbox comes out, the 720 or whatever its supposedly gonna be called? I'd think it would be in the next couple years.

I think there could be truth to this one. Joystiq's reporting that a Spring update will enable the use of USB storage devices for game data, which would render memory cards obsolete. Look at the supposed 360 slim motherboard - no memory card slot on the front, just USB ports. Coincidence? I think not.

It won't be anytime before 2012 (my money is on after 2013). There really no reason for MS to rush out a whole new console gen. The 360 is doing fine (unlike the original xbox).
