Interesting:

Q: So, what will be on the hard drive?

Allard: Some cool stuff. There will be a little video content, a little audio content, I don't know if we're actually allowed to say what's on there... (whispers to PR director...) OK, I can talk about this. I'm the boss. (Smiles.) Yeah, so there will be a soundtrack. We're putting together a custom soundtrack, so it basically comes with a free album. We're going to have a video on it. We'll have a little "Making of Xbox 360" video. And it will come up on your video samplers. It will have gamer tiles, and a game, Hexic. That comes on the hard drive. You know, we're giving users a reason to go somewhere. You know it's a little more fun to go to the video section and find a video there, than nothing at all. So, you'll see a little 3-minute video on the making of Xbox 360, and you'll go, "Oh, OK. I understand what that section is about." So, you'll see stuff in the marketplace, in the trailers section, and part of it is to get the customers to understand the capabilities of the system, to discover more on their own. Part of it is to give them a little bonus for buying the hard drive.

Good interview. I thought the section regarding portal music player compatibility was awesome.
