I was reading that the basic edition of Xbox 360, the version without the hard drive will not have backwards compatibility, while the "premium" version with the hard drive will ship with Microsoft's WebTV functionality built-in. This would mean that one can not play old games without the hard drive since one would need to download "shims" (I hope that phrase doesn't catch on) and save them to the HDD. Secondly, do you think that M$ will only allow web surfing via that WEBTV crap? If so, I see the first hack will be needed to unlock the browser to use an existing LAN/DSL/Cable hookup without the need for any WebTV.

Again, rumor has it that the drive is going to spin the opposite direction that all other drives spin. If so, upgrading would have to be via a clone of some kind I presume.

actully!
As some of you know, i work at a game stop- we are taking pre-orders for the 360 (we now have a price of $299.99) and it will come with a 20 gig hard drive, we are also taking pre-orders for a 40 gig, thats it on hard drives.
But if what Shark2th says is true (web tV) it wouldent be that hard to hack out of the browser- perhaps even make some sort of "file manage" sys out of it. allowing us to see the insides of the box..hehe...

So you're going to hold some back for those of us that are so dear to your heart and guarantee that if we want one of the first Xbox360's, we don't need to wait?
Ol' friend, pal, buddy Laughing

Has anyone else heard anything more about the Webtv on the 360?
Also, anyone able to confirm (or deny) the rumors of the hard drive spinning the opposite direction of a normal hard drive? I have wondered if that would matter in the end anyway depending on how the data is read I guess. I just can't understand what the idea would be of a drive that spins the wrong way (so to speak). Swap out protection??

No sh*t. I didn't know that. Huh... so does the disk spin the opposite of other machines XboxXXX? I know that they made the disks really really small but I didn't know that they reverse burnt the info.

The revers spin would be crazy shit. But I am sure Team Xecuter will have it "fixed" in no time.

Thats right the discs spin in the other direction but with the use of a modchip I think it fixes it. Never modded my bros gamecube, to much hassle buying new case and modchip (new case so that you can fit in normal discs!!) Plus most games are shit apart from party games (Mario Party 8001 or whatever there up to and Super monkey Ball.)

Thanks

Damn shortacid Smile
Anyway, been meaning to ask you, how you like the X3.
What is significantly different about it and the X2.3?
