I doubt they would put the MU in them since they come with HD's and don't need to have two storage locations all the time. I wonder if NXE could possibly disable access to the internal MU when a HD is plugged in, depending on the console model...Of course the people who put that video up says it's a Falcon console...
Whizard72 wrote:On the built-in MU, that could be but why not market it as an additional bonus feature of some sort if that's the case? I doubt it'll be there on Pro and Elite Jaspers tho. The people who put that video up might have simply assumed it was a Falcon because with the checks we had at the time, that console would check out as a Falcon especially if it had a leftover 175w supply shipped with it.
MRCUR wrote:True, that could be an additional bonus, but I doubt they'll market it at all. It'll cost MS more money to have separate production lines going with one for Arcades and then the other for Pro/Elite consoles. I have a feeling we'll see the built-in MU on every Jasper console, no matter if it's an Arcade, Pro, or Elite. I suppose that's what they could've assumed. Although I'm leaning towards thinking the console is actually Jasper and they don't realize it, it's certainly possible it's a Jasper that shipped with a 175W PSU.

I'll put that in the guide since we have the picture proof now.
