Sweet. To bad I already have a Xbox 360 Blanco, and i doubt they will exchange it for a Xbox360 Negro.

Wouldn't HD DVD make it alot more expensive?? Not everyone has a HD TV let alone HD DVD yet.

Make it even more expensive, and probably quite delayed knowing how integration works nowadays....

Also correct me if I'm wrong, but the current external HD DVD player Microsoft is using won't play the actual games, just HD DVD movies and therefore would need to be recompiled...

Also, I am sure that you can buy the new hard drive and upgrade that portion of your xbox :)

with the 20 gb hard drive costing $100 u.s., what will the 120 gb one cost? $600? ;) i hope not, because i'd like a hard drive that big too.

thats nice, rip your "next-gen" user base between 2 consoles.

It's not though. Ripping a user base between two consoles would be releasing a console that can play different games or do different things than the current one, neither of which this 360 would be doing if it comes out. It would play the same games and store the same stuff. You want a bigger drive? I'm sure it'll be released standalone if it is coming out. The only difference is HDMI, which for the most part seems to be a non-issue.

Waiting for the "If I can't have HDMI on my XBox, no one should!!!" crowd...

lol same :p

I already have a 360, if they come out with a hardware revision I really don't care, I'll eventually get it anyways.

Team Xbox says the 120 gb HD will be under $200..

"Looks like the rumors are true. Their is a huge article in a new Game Infomer Magazine. It will support a 120 GB HD, HDMI support plus HDMI cables and will retail for $479 USD in late April. The 120 GB harddrive will be "under $200"."

so.. as long as you guys dont care about HDMI... you can just pick up the new HD... feel sorry for the people who had to pay $100 for 10 gb...

It's not replacing the premium so why would they give you a more expensive model?

Well, if you must know... I bought it on launch day and the person in front of me got the last premium. I ended up getting a core and a hard drive, you can do the math on the cost. Secondly, you mail in your product covered by the replacement plan and they send you a gift card with the total amount on it. Then, you go to the store and buy whatever you want with it. If it costs more, you pay the difference. If not, you keep the rest on the gift card ;)

In other words, it's not that you just carry in your old xbox and exchange it right there for a new one of equal or less cost.

10gb? :blink: :rofl:

13 then. Same thing lol.

Anyways, tbh, as long as the bigger HDD is released for older consoles, and the IPTV thing works on older consoles, it doesn't bother me.

I have no use for HDMI (as I do not have a HDTV), and have no interest in HD-DVD atm anyway. The colour of it is trvial to be anyway, as white or black would fit in where my 360 is. So as long as the 120GB HDD is released for a decent price (aka, under ?100), then I see no reason why I should get the newer console.

However, if my 360 was to die, then I would consider getting the new black one.

(note - this post is assuming the rumour is true)
