i actually believe it will weigh lighter - simply because they wont need the bulky dvd, harddrive, power - besides everyone made fun of the xbox for being such a lardass - its feelings are hurt - no doubt will go on a diet - that fat tubby

Anyway, I think next one will be smaller than the current, and without a (standard) hard drive.. should be lighter.

Huh? How's it going to work without a way of reading media and no power supply? XD

But seriously, I like the 8.5 lbs with the quick detatch controllers, no drunkass has tripped ovet the controller cord and ripped it off the shelf.

Today the XBOX has a hard drive that is used to store saved games, store game data which greatly speeds up game loading, for storing downloads from XBOX Live, and for storing MP3s and WMAs which can be used as background music in many games.
Today M-Systems CEO Dov Moran has confirmed in an interview with Israeli business journal Globes Online that the "XBOX 2" will not have a hard drive, and instead will have a solid state flash card made by his company.
M-Systems, which many of us have never heard of, is the the Israeli company responsible for inventing flash memory. Flash memory is what digital cameras use to store photos. Unlike the memory you use in your PC, flash memory does not require a power source to remember the data, and unlike a hard drive, there are no moving parts and it makes no noise.
This is great news - it means the next XBOX will be smaller, quieter, and lighter. This could also open an opportunity for MS to build a portable XBOX, although shrinking down the top-of-the-line video card and cpu's will still be a hefty challenge.
Today's XBOX hard drive is about 10 GBytes. Today most digital camera owners use memory cards less than 1/2 Gbyte, however M-Systems makes Fast Flash Disks up to 47 Gbytes, so there's no telling how much memory MS plans on stuffing in the XBOX 2.
:beer: :evil:

And also, whats the fun in not having a good old harddrive? I want my system to sound on, not a wimpy whir of the fan.
And the game caches? Having flash memory could greatly increase loading times, which M$ Will not do bacause that'd lose money, unless they got good flash chips (Like hella good.)

This rumour is older than Jesus

I hope the New X-box2 console is a little heavy---Simnply because my Freinds P2' fell over dropped at one point casuing them to not function anymore. Heavy makes it more stable in case hit a controler cord...

| there are so many stupid qns like this. no1 knows, it will probably be less though cos a lot of ppl complained about the original xbox |
im the one that orginally posted the question - that account banned though - anyways - its not a stupid question - it strives on the fact of advancing technologies that no doubt get smaller - i felt a big hinderance to the xbox is the weight - its a fucking tank - and annoying to move around - all my ps2 friends make fun of me because of my tank ass of a game system - but of course they dont get free games - i say smaller the better - dont u think?
how is that for a fucking question u asshole
