plasmafreak Posted March 22, 2007 Posted March 22, 2007 Check it out: On the site it has a pic of it as well: NEW XBOX 360 - More Rumors on Next Xbox 360 Surface For you lazy bums: Amidst constant official denials, a new black Xbox 360 equipped with an HDMI interface and a 120GB hard disk appears on the pages of a game magazine. The rumors that the Xbox 360 would be getting a redesign has been circulating around the web for quite some time now. The new Xbox 360 was supposed to be black, with a 120 GB hard drive and a built-in HDMI port. Microsoft always denied to confirm the plans for a new Xbox 360, but scans of next month's issue of Game Informer indicate that the machine exists. While these improvements may come as good news to people taking a wait-and-see attitude to purchasing the console, the price tag was anything but positive. According to the article, the upgraded console is set to retail for $479, which is $20 less than the lower-end PlayStation 3. However, the HD DVD player for the new Xbox 360 will remain an add-on. Microsoft issued the standard response that it "doesn't comment on rumors and speculation."
sulimo Posted March 22, 2007 Posted March 22, 2007 It doesn't seem like a good pricepoint given the lack of HD-DVD. That said...I hope it fixes the noise issue the 360 apparently has.
Gino Posted March 22, 2007 Posted March 22, 2007 It should be running cooler due to the 65nm manufacturing process... so maybe less needs for noisy fans too
Gino Posted March 22, 2007 Posted March 22, 2007 Wouldn't mind paying extra for an inbuilt HD-DVD drive option either.
HoffY Posted March 22, 2007 Posted March 22, 2007 Well its still just all rumors. I'm really hoping its true as i want to buy another one and much prefer it to have these specs. Wished it had HD DVD Player in it but ah well. HDMI is my main desire so i can live without it. Not sure whether to believe it or not though. On one hand would be good but on the other hand doesnt seem like something MS would do as it would piss a few off.

But that's only because I don't want to see MS wedded forever to only that format.
