Wil originally broke the news that the Xbox 360 would come in versions both with and without a hard disk drive, although incorrectly predicted that there would be a more PC-like version following.

Adam Curry spent much of the November 21 episode of Daily Source Code, his podcast, criticising Wil for an alleged misquote.

On episode 109 of This WEEK in TECH, Wil announced that he has co-founded, as Managing Director, a new business, with Creative Director Justin Gayner, known as Channel Flip. Channel Flip is an online TV network aimed at a male audience, with gadget, DVD, and video game reviews.
