im just gonna say no. obviously this would be a stupid move. what i expect is price drop for all 3 or price drop and core is no longer made.

I wouldn't be surprised if they revealed a new SKU. Pretty soon we'll have as many 360 SKUs as the multitude of Vista SKUs.

All I hope is that they discontinue the Core and let developers use the HDD to their advantage.

Am I the only one that thinks that the "gray" Xbox 360 on the left only looks gray, but is actually white and is hidden in the shadows of the room?

I'm not sure what advantage that would have, if any.

360 has more sku's and add-on's than the damn Genesis! If you didn't make it right the first time then too bad, you shouldn't have rushed your console.

P.S. The 80GB ps3 is a stupid idea, why waste the manufacturing cost for 20GB's? Not only that but the PS3 hdd was replaceble from the start. They just should have dropped the price down to $500 and included Motostorm with the 60GB, hell they get rid of one sku and then add another. Neither Sony,or M$ know what the hell they are doing.

I think it looks like that as well; the light on the left one obviosly is weaker than the other ones. It could very well be a white one.

I think it's the announcement that all 360's will now ship with the 65 nm chip making them cheaper and allowing price drops.

I hope it's super cheap like the Wii, cause I will not pay a lot of cash to play games sooner. I'll wait for it to come on PC, now if it's like 200 bucks (Canadian) then I could say, whatever and pick one up finally. It'll probably never happen though.

They'd have to make it optional for fans who still own the core system though.

honestly, i think it's the new 360 that contains the new 65nm CPU and GPU. if you look carefully, all 4 xboxes have HDD meaning that either ms is dropping the core or they will release the core with an HDD. my guess, they drop the core, make the current premium the new core, make the gray xbox the new premium with (my guess) a 60GB or 80GB HDD, and keep the elite the way it is. the new premium and core units may have an hdmi port built-in. all this with the new price structure of $249 core, $349 premium, $399 elite.

this link shows the four xboxes in a different angle. i', going to post the image because it is too large (3504 x 2336) so just click the link to see it. the units are behind the two announcers near the fout monitors on the left side of the image. it is rumored that the fourth SKU may have a built-in HD DVD drive though i personally don't belive that rumor. i believe in the guess i made in the previous paragraph.
