Squid of Man

So that's how it's going to work. Well...it's not as simple as I thought it would be...but then again, saying that I can't see how it could be any simpler. It's nice you don't have to get up to open the tray door...but since you have to get up to put the disc in anyways...ungh.

The drive was demoed to some industry types yesterday in the US, and is apparantly coming along nicely. The 360 itself handles most of the load as far as...well, however DVD players work with software and compression and encryption and whatnot, so it's going to be small, and it's going to be cheap. Both of which are good news.

Still no word on a release date or price for Aus, but it should be before Christmas, and my money's on a sub-$300 price-tag.
