Project Zephyr; Xbox 360 V2 : What we know about it...(info,pics,video)

even if this is true, why are people complaning. the new chip has the same power, and as for the 120gig hd, sure its good, but it will cost a fortune. i don't have a hd tv so i don't care about the ports either.

this new 360, if it does come out, will cost alot more than a current 360, it will not replace it. 120gigs, you're gonna have to pay for that.

   Well it might, but i think it will be the same price. Since for one the 360 will be more cheaper to manufacture because of the switch to 65nm CPU. That alone CAN make a 50$ dollar decrease in price but won't. Because of this alone a bigger hard drive (not 120gb) and HDMI can be added. I think the 120gb is not true since it's 6x the space and microsoft probably wouldn't want to incresase the price. Besides that if you read exactly what they said it seemed like they just threw that in. If there is gona be a bigger hard drive it will probably be 40 or 60gb (cuz the ps3 has no more then 60gb). So there is a great chance that a bigger harddrive and HDMI can be added without a increase in price. (and obviously the 65nm since it's making the other improvements possible)

Well I think MS really needs to come out and make a decision on this.  I (and many other gamers) am in limbo as to getting a 360 or PS3.  Right this second im leaning toward a 360 but i dont wanna get screwed over by them adding in all this new stuff a month after i get it.  This rumor is really the only thing preventing me from getting a 360 in a few weeks.  It would really be great if they came out and said yes we are or no we arent.  Either way it doesnt make a huge diference but if im gonna pay $$$ i want the good version...

Same for me...

I bit the bullet and bought one yesterday. I didn't see the point in waiting for an HDMI port what I wouldn't use anyways. As for the larger HD, I have no plans of using the IPTV service.

No regrets.

Thank god for this Sticky,Now we dont have to hear trolls talking about it.booomer69

weel, if it's modded, it's pretty well done.

Ther is one detail that may prove that it's modded. The animal, next to the tv (sorry, english isn't my native language) is the same as used with the whole xbox linux project.

Ms already said they weren't planing anew version of the 360. Anyways, what's so big about an hdmi port, huh ? You can have Hdtv already, so i don't see the effin problem.ilovesnowboard

hdmi gives a better signal.  pretty much gives someodd million colors along with a bandwidth of 4.9 Gbps video transmission.  HDMI 1.3 can do double the bandwith and offer some odd billion colors but only found on the latest of the latest gadgets.

component cannot compete with hdmi.  and if it does, then you're tv isn't fully utilizing hdmi

yea i got to thinking the same thing you just said. i minds well just get the 360 now because i could end up waitin a year or something.

i dont care what happens, if its new, i just buy a new one and sell my old one. a difference of 100 bucks. whats the big deal.. the whole time your thinking of which one to buy your, missing all the fun. F1sTDaCuffS

hopefully project zephyr has all the bells and whistles so you wont have to buy it separately and create clutter.

If there will be a new version of the 360, I would want:

-HDMI

-built in HD DVD

-120 gb hard drive

-smaller power brick or better yet no power brick

-Built in wifi network

so yeah:)

[QUOTE="stebun"]this should be stickied, im tired of seeing topics about thisMaui00

As an 'early' adopter of the Xbox 360 platform I feel that Micrsoft as a company has betrayed their most loyal fans. We pay them with our good money for the latest in video game consoles to find them only a year later updating the system with features that were supposed to be on the original system. I am not worried about the larger hard drive as I dont store any media besides game demos on there, I dont care about the cooler chip as I already have an intercooler but seriously adding a hdmi port?! I am one of those people who do have a 1080p hdtv and I am really pissed that now they decide to introduce a hdmi port. Hopefully though they will be able make some sort of accessory so the v1 360s will support hdmi

kamtong1

1080p & HD-DVD? If this is real, I can easily see it costing $600+skate_n_game

what is "Capability to serve IPTV (Internet Protocol Television)"? and who needs a 120g hard drive? and will microsoft really leave its loyal "first buyers" in the cold? this is going to piss off a lot of people if the xbox 360 out now cannot be updated to this new project zephyr coming out. when is it coming out?TobyA

What they could do is offer the updated X360, with 120 gig drive and HDMI, @ $399 and the current premium, with the 20 gig drive, sell for $299 (price drop) and eliminate the basic X360. They could release it around the same time Sony decides to drop the price of PS3. My opinion anyways.Lionhart_basic

I would say it'll play out similar to that...So most likely Christmas '07.

Microsoft will most likely release the new Xbox 360 as something like Xbox 360 Media Edition. I might sell my current 360 if the HDMI is worth it, which it very well may be in my case.
