199.99 for a HDD.......120 GB or not that is a ripoff. They shouldve used Laptop HDDs. I couldve got a HDD with WAY more space for that price.

No way in hell im paying that much for a HDD for my 360. This had seriously better be an April fools joke. if not guess Ill just use my PS3 for all my media such as music videos etc. It was sad enough that a 20 gb HDD was 100.00...what ever, I just seriously hope this is bogus.

I wouldnt bother with this, especially if you have a pc, you can store evcerything on your pc HDD and just stream it to your 360. You can do it with an ethernet lead or setup a wireless netwrok for a fraction of the price. You can even download a free format converter at www.tverstiy.com and then your pc converts incompatable formats as you stream them. This is the solution i use and its great. :)

The only thing you need is your 20 gb for games saves and arcade dowloads.

Ahuh.  Microsoft is doing a MAJOR hardware revision, releasing it in less than one month, and decided not to advertise it ONE BIT, because they don't want you to buy it!    Does anyone else realize that if MS was going to release a new version that they would actually want you to buy it and thus actually advertise it, beore the system comes out?   Comon sense, anyone?

plus Peter Moore denies it in the new EGM

The April Game Informer isn't even OUT yet.

Possibly because we're just a little more than half-way through March.

The OP is full of it, and he'll scan the cover of the magazine if he wants to prove me wrong.

Uhm....it's not out as I have this little thing called a subscription. You don't get April's edition of a magazine in the MIDDLE of March dude, sorry. Things just don't work that way. And since you say you have the GI at work bring it home and scan it. Buy it if you have to. If you do I'll send you a money order for DOUBLE what you paid to purchase it. So, you'll be making a little money. Something tells me we won't be seeing a front cover though.

Well I should hope a bigger HDD is coming regardless. Especially as XBLA expands, and more games reach the new size limit, that'll be important.

Actually it is out and I saw the article in question at my local EB Games. I have the subscription, but I have not received the magazine in the mail yet and I can see others haven't. The GI has Uncharted (the new Naughty Dog game for PS3) on the cover. Now keep in mind it is the April issue so who knows if the article is a hoax or not. The information seems valid though. It says the black 360 will be $479 with HDMI ports as well as come with the HDMI cables and a 120GB HDD. I don't believe it said the price point for the HDD by itself though, I think it just said it would retail for under $199. And the next month's issue of magazines usually do come out in the middle of the prior month. April issue is usually in the middle of March and May's will be in the middle of April it's always been that way.

There's a difference between a game and a magazine. So, you have EGM, but the magazine in question is GI. You can go to the GameInformer website and see what's on the cover. And I'm sure since the magazine is owned/published by GameStop Corp. that there might be a few issues in stores, but that still doesn't confirm that the Black Xbox 360 with an updated Hard Drive is within the magazine and NOT in the April Fools section.

Not to mention that there was this Gaming Developers Conference that, well....I dunno, was pretty recent and MS, just decided not to mention ANYTHING about it.

Quick question. If it is being released in April, why hasnt M$ confirmed this? Wouldnt you think the proper thing to do if you were going to release an upgraded system was to uh....at least let your consumers know? I mean April is 2 weeks away and still no confirmation from M$.

120 GB HDD should be $100 at most!!! But of course, MS is charging that much for 20 GBs... so $199 isn't that surprising coming from them... Let's hope this isn't true.

Common sense also says that you don't say anything because you don't want people to stop bying 360s now because another version will be out in a month. Yeah, it sucks, but that's how things work. If this is true, and I truly doubt it is, then anyone who buys a 360 in the next 2 weeks is getting screwed.

Aside from people spending tons of money on downloading movies and TV shows, who really needs a 120gb harddrive? Or do you guys "need" it because its going to be available?

Uh, yeah Deyee, magazines always come out before the month they are for, always. But anyways, that's not a scan, and also the caption makes no mention of this supposedly huge news. So who knows?

They'll only release information when stocks of the current version have sold out or in limited supply, they'll probably discontinue the current "core" version & current "premium" version will become the cheap version, and the "zephyr" will be the new premium

Here's a video of a X360 with an HDMI port, so they have obviously been toying with the idea
