Next Xbox NOT “always online,” new 360 SKU adds BC

News reports today cleared up a few rumors that had been spreading recently:
While the next xbox, codenamed "Durango" will have always-online functionality, it will not prevent the use of second hand games nor bar people from playing local content when they are without Internet.
Furthermore, a smaller, more stripped down 360 will be arriving on shelves for around $149 or less. This sku will act more like a set-top media box with Xbox 360 and XBLA game support and it may not have disc drive.
“Putting in an Xbox 360 disc into Durango will prompt the user to attach the supporting device that is sold separately. By separating the two devices and their functions it will ensure price competitiveness for both pieces of hardware,” says the report.
This means all content will need to be downloaded digitally. Should it be connected with Durango, users can use their disc-based Xbox 360 games on their Durango console with the small add-on Xbox.

And half asleep.
And is this goooodd or bad?
You can play preowned games. You do not have to be connected to the internet to play local content, discs. You can purchase an add-on to play Xbox 360 games.
