good if it\'s tru, but i don\'t like when they black out information, like the way it\'s done in that pic,..makes it look like a hoax....we\'ll see.

i kind of wish i wasnt impatient, but i knew they were making this before i bought the 360.

I really dont think its going to be out for a while, the "soon" sentence at the end is a bs thing to even say. Plus the first batch will probably have a bug as always.

Ill live with my 20GB\'s, and im not even sure what HDMI does, so im not gunna spend another $400 on a second 360. Id just get a ps3

I hope it\'s real. At least there\'s no reason it shouldn\'t.

Now, if only MS fixes the sound level and perhaps include the HD-DVD drive and  it\'s all good.

http://news4gamers.com/xbox360/News-19184.aspx]Xbox 360 with HDMI port, playing Kameo

It\'s all good, but I have reservations about the supposed larger harddrive included in the bundle as it would likely mean they won\'t drop the price.  I just can\'t imagine Microsoft not taking the opportunity to drastically spur sales with a signficant pricedrop rather than a hardware revision.

In any case, there shouldn\'t be any fuss over this.  Hardware revisions happen in every technology sector.  Early adopters might feel burned, but it\'s the price they pay for having the newest tech toys.

This might be good news for me though, I\'d probably be able to get a 360 for cheap off of a person wanting to get the newer model.  In any case, we\'ll know in a few days.

They just released an interview in which two Microsoft representatives definitely, without reservation, stated that the 360 would never use the HD-DVD drive for games.  Just as recently, another MS 360 exec said they don\'t like the idea of forcing technology on consumers that isn\'t necessary.  

I wouldn\'t count on an included HD-DVD drive.

aside from heat and perhaps lower production cost, there is NO advantage in the 65nm chip.  it is no faster.

HDMI port is only for people with older HDTV\'s that can\'t do 1080P over component.  use VGA anyways.

120GB hard drive is stupid.  hell, 60GB is overkill.

I think using the 65nm chip should shrink down the size of the chip, hence meaning lesser power consumption and should solve some overheat problems and game crashes and the such.  And maybe it could also get like a couple smoother frame rates too...

But again, what do i know.

If it costs more is it really worth it, I don\'t even have 120GB on my fucking PC. I got one of those stupid add on fans that attaches to the back and I can actually tell the difference that it doesn\'t heat up nearly as much before I\'d put my hand on the top and feel the heat and now I don\'t. As ghey as it seems it appears to work.

Well here in the 2000\'s harddrives don\'t really cost a whole lot. ;)

120 gb is the new 20 gb.

I tried to find a quick upgrade to my 80gb to do some DVD convert stuff. The cheapest I could find in the new hardware was a 250gig for 109$ (CAD).
can\'t see why not!

Thanks for this. I don\'t feel so bad about there being a new model then, heh.
