People should relax. I really think that there will be some sort of discount for current XBOX 360 adopters to upgrade to the new version with HDMI. But i think ultimately there will be an optional HDMI port adaptor for HDTV users. Plus you can just switch out the "removable" hard-drive for a larger one if you need larger harddrove space. Microsoft knows this and would not want a bunch of useless XBOX 360's on the market. I mean think about it, what would the EB/GAMESTOP do withthe old XBOX 360s if people traded them in? They would pretty much be useless. Since the HD-DVD drive is USB connected directly to the XBOX, you would have true HD now with the HDMI port and it would be an easy transition. Micorsoft can't afford to screw it's customers.
