Rumored Updated 360 version?

Looks like MS is getting into the Double Dipping business now. HDMI shoulda been included originally. So now I guess I am supposed to drop another $400 for the new 360. I feel like MS just owned me. (if the rumors are true)rockydog1111

One of things i wish 360 came is HDMI. but oh well happy friday.

if this is true. i hope it cost more then 399.00, because if not. then i guess that is what i get for getting a launch version 360.  Hopefully they will alllow us to upgrade our hard drives at least. http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/05/the-second-xbox-360-revealed-codename-zephyr/

Unless this one also comes with a built in HD-DVD drive, I'll pass.  That's the only real reason I'd need HDMI.  The hard drive is nice, but hopefully they will sell that separately as well.  THAT I could use.

It's too early to say what MS is planning. For all you know, they might offer the early adopters some type of tradein deal, though that would be unlikely. I could care less about the HDMI output, or the 120 GB hard drive, since I have my 360 hooked up to my PC and its 640 GB's of space.TheCrazed420

What?  You can save your games to your PC?  I can stream music, video, and pictures from my PC, but what I really need is storage space for demos, game saves, and Live marketplace downloaded HD content.  If you have found a way to do that, please tell me how, or point me to a site with instructions.

So, if MS does somethin here that Ver. 2 offeres that can't be found on the original 360, then they just screwed all ya curent 360 owners...T-Zone

as usual lemmings getting milked.

Microsoft throwing lots of add-ons at lemmings and calling it "choice". that is just Microsoft propaganda.

this just proves that Xbox 360 is indeed a rushed console.

I would not be surprised if Microsoft releases a game on HD-DVD and a motion sensing controller.

If this comes out and MS doesn't offer some sort of free or cheap upgrade service (as unlikely as that is) I'm going to be pissed. This milkage is pretty high up on the list in my opinion.The_Game21x

I understand the frustration  your experiencing though.  I won't deny that I would pick up the Zephyr model over the Xenon model, but when it comes to games and purely games, the system hasnt changed.

hmm I wonder what they mean by "soon"...hopefully very soon, as in the next 30-60 days when I can return my 360 lol.TheSystemLord1

Is MS afraid of Sony in terms of Graphics-ish? That they have to release a Re-Hash 360?T-Zone

The upgrades have nothing to do with graphics. Aside from the HDMI port and the bigger hard drive, there are no changes to the hardware.

Thanks, those are cool, and I will probably need that if I ever upgrade my hard-drive.  I was hoping for something more connected though, so I could do the transfers without disconnecting the drive and then connecting it to my PC.  I guess I was hoping for too much.  I wonder why they don't update Windows Media Connect to do this?  A software solution is far preferable to a hardware one in this instance.

Well I believe the HDMI thing, and we all know about the smaller CPU, but 120GB hdd sounds kinda hard to believe.osusfaith
