Recent chatter points to Microsoft dropping the HDD-less Xbox 360 Core system in the States. A blurry pic from an apparent Best Buy insider surfaced over at Joystiq with the word "Deleted" under the Core system and an out-of-stock date that reads 7-29-07. Meaning? Current stock will not be replenished, it seems. When contacted, Microsoft said:

No. Xbox 360 Core remains an important member of the Xbox 360 family.

But for how long? Even if this fake, what I want to know is who the hizzy heck buys the Core system anyway?
