Why pay a $150 fee when you can just use your old Xbox 360 or buy a new one for about that price?
I'm not even clicking on the links. This "rumor" is so baseless I won't even finish writing thi

Because some people have to sell their old xbox to be able to buy a new one. Not everybody might be as rich as you are. I, for example, can't afford a new xbox, without selling my old one. Paying a $150 fee to be able to play my old games is very much.

It's probably my biggest hobby, so I do invest a lot of money in to it, but I certainly keep my gaming as cheap as I can. (I don't even pay for Xbox Live Gold!) But here's the situation you're putting yourself in to... you're assuming it would be a hassle to pay $150 to play old games because you would have sold the Xbox 360 in order to afford the "Nextbox". But how much money are you going to make off of selling the Xbox 360? Unless you have the "slim" model, I doubt you'll make more than $150. The moment the new consoles come out, the old generation's value will drop like a rock. It would be CHEAPER to keep the Xbox 360 and buy a "Nextbox" than to sell the 360, buy the "Nextbox" and buy the $150 add-on.
