I was wondering since nowadays you can download dashboard and system software updates, and more or less have to for the PS3 and X360, I was wondering if a sort of niche rarity in the future might be brand new consoles that haven't been updated. IE; buying an Xbox 360 that still uses the original blade menu from it's launch days.

I know in regards to hacking PSPs and iPhones, firmware is a big deal, or at least was when I was researching it a few months ago. It was tough to go back so hardware with older firmware/software was sought after more than a regular up to date unit.

Any thoughts on this?
