With just one more day (and probably many more MSN alerts about it) to go until the MTV world premiere of the next-gen Xbox, here's another bit of spec leakage. It all generally looks decent, but the lack of a next-gen DVD drive is a bummer. Sony's Blu-ray in the PS3 may make the new Xbox look a little dated, no matter what the rest of the specs say. Wasn't Microsoft a big supporter of the HD-DVD camp? Couldn't they just stick one of those drives in there by November and later tweak it using firmware updates?
The leak is just another in a sequence, following the console and peripheral shots, leaking of the November release time frame, new Xbox logo, and the new Xbox Live features.
Of course, neither TriXie nor Major Nelson will let anything interesting slip, so I guess we'll have to wait until tomorrow night to see the supposedly chubby Elijah Wood, a gaggle of annoying celebrities, and the 30 seconds or so of Xbox 360 stuff that will fit in between the commercials.
