If much of this holds true, and it plays Blu-ray, Ill surely try one as a home media center.

Leaked document reveals next Xbox price, tech details | GamesIndustry International

I'll wait for an official announcement from Microsoft before I get excited about anything. I think a Blu Ray drive is a given, as sticking to DVD at this point is just stupid. I don't like having to play games that come on multiple discs. It's like we're back to the PlayStation era of games.
Yeah, some of the rumors are out there at $299. I would like to see someone finally give me more options towards cutting the cable, but we just cant seem to get over that hump yet. I'd love to get all my shows on a box, in a queue kinda like Netflix.
Now imagine if you could use the new XBOX as a DISH Network Joey or a DIRECTV receiver.... it would be the complete home theater system in one box. 
Thats going to be some kind of tablet.
If they were to announce it it would have been done at E3 a few weeks ago.
Not impractical, really... The XBOX is (was) capable of being an ATT UVerse receiver.Now imagine if you could use the new XBOX as a DISH Network Joey or a DIRECTV receiver.... it would be the complete home theater system in one box.
That seems like a great price point to move a lot of units especially if they are including a updated version of kinect. I wonder if they will be forcing an Xbox live subscription at that price with a more expensive commitment free version.
They recently started offering a $99 Xbox 360 and Kinect bundle that comes with a 2 year commitment to Xbox Live at $14.99 a month. I personally have had an Xbox Live subscription since sometime in the middle of the original Xbox's life so I wouldn't have a huge problem committing to Live for 2 years. However, I have always paid around $50 yearly instead of monthly and at $14.99 that comes to $179.88 per year. I would not pay that much for Live and I hate the idea of another industry moving into a contract business model.

The 360 has about 3 more years in it I believe. I don't think we will get any news until 2013 at the earliest.
Looks like the document is authentic, or at least real enough to drive Microsoft to demand it be taken offline:
