Richard and Jonah Falcon also discuss this week’s events, including:

* The new $199 Xbox 360 Slim coming this fall
* A PC and standalone versions of Kinect
* Kinect being playable in four Microsoft stores
* No cross game chat for PlayStation Network Plus
* Microsoft squabbling with Square Enix over Final Fantasy 14
* Double Fine’s new IP

I'm about to listen to it now...

Edit: Yep, according to this.

Save yourself listening to the Podcast, one of the guys sounds like a mega 360 zealot.

It would cement itself into 2nd place if the $199 360sku came with a harddrive

I could see a 120GB HDD being used at the price tag. Don't know about the second place comment though...

I think it would end up selling better than the elites.

Possibly. I do see the current 360S with 250GB HDD dropping to $249usd in December.

I bet the 199 360S, if a reality, is a 120GB drive like others have mentioned, possibly built in, not replaceable.

My guess, NO kinect port. Two extra USB's on the front gone.

Just an entry level S model.

Hope they don't drop the S too much in price tho, as I am an early adopter this time around LMAO

I Agree. MS really needs to make a hdd standard with every sku.

[Cuguy]

At this point, it is silly to NOT have a HDD inside

[justsayin]

I think MS confirmed a $199 360S for the fall last week. I agree with everyone saying it SHOULD have a HDD, but I wouldn't bet money on it at this point. That has been there price differentiator up till now. I can see them sticking with it.

At least now the ability to use a USB thumb drive somewhat mitigates not having a HDD.

i think the 360 is allready 199 but if they make them 199 with a hard drive that would be cool

The best thing would be a 149$ version, no HHD and Wi-fi, since you can use a USB and not everyone uses Wi-fi

The 149$ price would be killer
