Don't know about you, but I would like to see the next x box compatable with my present one, apparently thats not going to happen due to next x box having no hard drive among other things.

MS commented on it a while ago, so we DO know actually.

The Gameboy is not a controller either, and the DC controller did have a screen if you put the VMU in it.

It's a little known fact that the PS2 was orignally designed as a cup holder.

A silencer, because apparently consoles are murder weapons now...?

Yes, but there's a difference between commenting on something and officially confirming something. I have yet to see/hear an official confirmation that the next Xbox will be backwards compatible. If such proof exists, I stand corrected.

I know, I was messing :P

EDIT - Well actually, they're part console, part controller, so it's true to an extent...

When the disc tray opens up it should be able to swing to one side revealing a row of missiles :D

Actually, Microsoft did confirm it. (saw the news on gamezville)

Anyway, something to hold other games!

Looks like a toaster when you stand it up vertically, doesn't it?
