Retailers have confirmed that the new SKU is in their systems, set for a May 1 release for $479.99. In addition to the new video interface, the system would also pack a 120 GB HDD hard drive into its nifty black exterior.

I hope you can get the bigger hard drive with a white 360. I want a 360, but not THAT 360. And no, I don't want the old one, 20GB doesn't seem big enough for a system like that.

The only thin interesting on that is the hdmi, but otherwise its worthless, all this means is a price drop on the regular 360 and that means its time to pick one up on may 2

They finally release a 360 that doesn't overheat, has HDMI, and has a proper HDD. This just further proves that the 360 was rushed.

I love how people mock Sony saying their online and games should be just as good as the 360's because they've had an extra year to work on things. Well, Sony used that year to get its hardware up to snuff, unlike M$, who just skipped the hardware stage and just jumped rigth to the software.

It's not the $$$ per se..It's the value. for an extra $80, I'd get 100GB more HD, black paint, a DRM infected connection. It's not woth the $$$ (to me) --better to just upgrade the HD if I fill the old one, Which I haven't. To someone who never owned a 360, maybe, but personally I'd just look for a premium on sale. I wonder if the DRM infected ones will be/are harder to MOD???

you're really reaching there.

1.) the 360 Premium needs nothing more added to it to enjoy all games that are coming to the 360 platform.

2.) my 2005 360 has never once overheated. but like any computer-based hardware, it can overheat. that includes the PS3 and Wii too.

3.) it already had proper HD, kid. 720p/1080i/1080p via component or VGA. now it simply has an additional option. it's certainly not a necessary one.

4.) to suppose SONY was trying to get their hardware "up to snuff" simply shows your lack of knowledge about what SONY was really doing during that extra year.

somebody help me here...my eyes must be broken...is this level 1 guy really talking to me right now with his ill-fated comments? :D 1.) HDMI is simply not necessary. 2.) 360's do overheat a lot. 3.) PS3 doesn't have a meaningful scaler at all. what's your point here? some scaling is better than no scaling, correct? Or are you one of those kids that is expecting all PS3 games to be made in 1080p? :lol: 4.) I don't need to be in the R&D labs. They had a helluva time with the blue laser diodes. they had trouble getting the copy-protection issues resolved between companies. they had cell chip fab issues. none of which constitute (SONY was working to make their stuff *better* than the 360). they simply couldn't get their *hit out. Lest we forget, the PS3 was scheduled to launch in the Spring of '06.

Dream-visions has way more credability then you can ever hope to have. Would you like to provide a link that shows that the 360 has overheated more then any other console in history?

I honestly think they are releasing this way to early, next year would be better. (If this was true) this is a bad idea, more negative than there is positive.
