Also notice the (2) SATA ports. I smell internal hard drive.

Psh. Like Microsoft is going to give up their $1 per gigabyte hard drive scheme.

Maybe a dvd drive configured for double SATA ports for double the bandwidth? But then the hard drive would be a bottleneck, right? Maybe 7200rpm drives or SSD'S?
It's interesting you mentioned that, since this showed up today.

Yeah I saw that. Ben mentioned it in his writeup I think. Unfortunately though, SATA can be like 6x faster than USB, so game loading is going to be a lot slower. But at least it's a step in the right direction.

Edit: I stand corrected. USB 3.0 is 5Gbits/sec, a bit slower than SATA 3.0 (6Gbits/sec).
But if it is USB 2.0 (480Mbits/sec) then SATA will be 12x faster.

Maybe M$ will add USB 3.0 ports to this revision.

I doubt there will be USB 3.0. I do think it'll be useful though, I'd offload all the videos and trailers I have to an external drive so I have more space for DLC and game installs.
