When Stephen was on The One Show, he said there is a different order now in opening boxes - in the original Channel 4 version the first round was five boxes opened before you got the first offer, that seems to have changed - Stephen said "you open two boxes in the first round, three boxes in the second round" so it seems they have decided to change the box opening amounts in this new version.
It used to be with Noel's version, first round five boxes opened, then each subsequent round it was three boxes opened until the next offer, and then you got to "Five Box" which during the seasonal specials was where they always threw in a curveball, a gimmick for that special run of shows.
With regards to dropping the top prize to £100,000 - simple pure cost cutting measure involved by ITV - no other reason.
