Anyway i'm curious to see how are they going to sell this console to the european and japanese
Maybe MS has realized the Japanese market is a loser and not even relevant for their sales goals? I also don't see how this adversely impacts the European market, unless you mean the focus on entertainment that is more of a struggle to establish partners than the monopolistic US.

I haven't been on this forum long enough to know if that post is dripping with sarcasm Shifty...
The same question here, I would think HDD as without optical drive BC is irrelevant.
Why? It's still a Xbox 360. It's fully functional even if it doesn't have a DVD drive. Remember the 360 Mini is more likely targeted media users & Durango owners, either way they probably won't have use for 360 disks when they can just buy their games online.

This is not the news I expected. I am not convinced yet, anyways, it's all rumours.
The Xbox Infinity might be a coin-operated machine after all. (M$)
How would that be accomplished? Do you see them doing something like remote play/onlive configuration but locally?

Yep, that's what i meant, maybe they capitalize on services that are not available to the european public.
That hints at a lack of a HDD because a fully functional 360 would only require the internet for downloading games but should be fully functional without a internet connection otherwise.
A DD only 360 probably wouldn't be a problem but one dependent on Durango for 360 gameplay would be.
Or the licence "per console" will not be applied to new model. Currently, if you try to play a XBLA game on another Xbox 360, you need to be logged to Xbox Live, maybe the new model will not allow us to transfer the console license.
But shouldn't "any real functionality" encompass more than just the need to log in to Xbox Live for an XBLA game? But you may be right, its not like its an official release so I don't think its practical to dissect such an issue.
XBLA and GoDs (without license), Apps like Internet Explorer or Netflix, all of them requires Xbox Live connection.

Hmm, I'm not sure about this new report, it's not the same source as their previous info for one (ie not SuperDAE) and the always online thing contradicts what I've heard, and Kotaku, Edge etc.
If you can play local content then it's like every other always online console ever and why would all these people be making the always online distinction for 720 but not say PS4.

Well I'm not sure if you are serious or if your post is a sarcasm. To me after the super Dae story, the confirmed leak from VG Leak (for the ps4), pretty reputable edge giving its take, etc, I would think that people have a lot of reasons to take what was leaked seriously. MSFT may (have) change (d) is pov or not that one think but calling idiots or Sony fanboys people that whereas they may not like those policies if they come into action still think that msft considered (at least) all this extremely seriously.
Anyway, I don't follow other forum so I can't tell how bad it got in some place (to some extend even here as I'm back spending too much time around here /on the web, but it was not that true in the last weeks).

No, I know for a fact that the 'always online' thing means that games are unable to be played offline - the only features that work offline being the network troubleshooter (which Kotaku report) and Bluray playback (as mandated by the Bluray spec).
This was definitely MS's plan (see bkilian's posts on what benefits requiring always online can bring), they can change their plan but if Kotaku is reporting that it was in place at least two weeks ago then they haven't yet.
FWIW, Kotaku originally were unsure of the always online requirement as mentioned by Edge and have only now taken a position affirming it.
The other thing fishy about this vgleaks article is they seem to be conflating Xbox 361 with the functions of Xbox TV.
