Just thought this might compliment yesterday's post on the new Xbox:

From Xbox2-news:
"We've spent today doing a little more digging. It seems the Xbox 360 will use AES Encryption (XeCryptAesCbc), executable files are XEX and not XBE (xshell.xex) and after studying the kernel there is everything in place for backwards compatibility.

It can all change of course but interesting all the same."

also, from gamesradar:

As well as the standard console, an additional $100 will bag you a hard drive (which is said to fit into a port near the top of the machine), WebTV and, intriguingly, backwards compatibility - meaning that the basic Xbox 360 won't be able to play current-gen Xbox games.

The $100 add-on is, in part, supposedly designed to offset the additional costs of allowing Xbox 360s to play Xbox titles.

As for the WebTV element, this will provide internet and email access via your TV, as well as streamed music and video channels.

The price will vary from $299 (min price, no HD), $399 (with HD).
