XBox are going to release a much smaller XBox within the next 18 months (probably in Europe as well). With a small physical appearance and probably a larger hard drive (40GB has been named) Microsoft do hope people will prefer the smaller version.
The capabilities aren't changing, but this is another piece of information that tells me Microsoft really have talked a lot of crap about their original Box, saying that people didn't look at the size and the XBox's capabilities would sell it itself. Shame they have already lost 2.5billion dollars on the machine (which for ANY company is a huge loss). Is investing more money into a smaller XBox for the Japanese and European market worth it?
I know that the XBox is capable of great things. Then again. Only one game has proved that so far. *runs about screaming*
Size does matter. Apparently.

I have no idea. Microsoft haven't even said anything.

I have no idea.... knowing Microsoft it will be more expensive.
