Since there are rumors of the new 360 coming soon (120 HD, HDMI port, faster/cooler, etc.), will you buy it or not?

Now I know that the people who don't have a 360 will probably buy the new one (if it comes out), but what about us that already have a current 360? Will you guys upgrade to the new one, or stay satisfied with your current?

Rumors?  Ha, i laugh at that.  My game store has it in their system as of last week.  Since the manager is one of my best friends he put me on the list already.  It's listed at $480 and its black with a HDMI port and a 120gig HDD.  When something comes in on the computer for inventory it will come to the store.  I only say that cuz the store never runs off of rumors or speculations.  Oh and its listed for late spring or sooner.  So i'll end up getting it cuz my TV can handle all that power.  I'll end up selling my other 360 but that wont be hard at all.

I like the HDMI capable and the bigger HDD, but that is not going to make me run out and buy one.  I still have around 8 GB free on my current HDD and my high-def capables are just fine.

The new console means the "old 20gb" 360s will become cheaper, either through the used market, or because Microsoft will likely do a price cut to undermine the Wii / PS3. I'll pick up the "old" 360 when it drops to $300 and put the extra $180 towards a surround sound system.

It looks nice, but the price gets to about the same as a PS3.

i am only really interested in the hard drive for now but I wonder if they will have some sort of exchange program for all of the 10 million customers who will be pretty annoyed over a new version.  That would at least make us somewhat happy to get the newer version.  Otherwise they risk upsetting people when they are in a good position due to peoples anger with Sony. I would love the 120GB hard drive but I would like to be able to transfer my saves over to the new hard drive.  I woonder how I could do that.  The sweet thing would be if you could double mount somehow and mount your 20GB onto the 120GB through a special port on the 120GB but I am guessing that is just a pipe dream for now.  Microsoft please come up with something for 10 million early adopters of your fine system, lol

I think it's so completely ridiculous if they do release a "new 360". It pretty much means that whoever bought one prior sort of got F'd. Of course I would like one of the newer ones but I really don't see how they can justify this.

I'd be interested in the bigger HDD. And for the poster wondering about transfering saves, Datel makes a docking bay that you can connect your 360 HDD to that connects to your pc via usb and allows you to backup game saves or even make a backup image of the entire HDD and copies it to your pc. As for the HDMI input, does that give you a noticably superior picture as compared to vga? Because I'm satisfied with the picture quality through vga on my 42" LCD.

The next thing will be the inclusion of a HD-DVD drive & games developers actually producing games on that format, forcing any early adopters to purchase the HD-DVD upgrade to play the latest releases...

If I have the money by the time the new Xbox 360 comes out I'll definitely buy one. I'll keep my old one and put it in a different room to be played. The CPU is smaller, cooler, faster, and quieter. HDMI is a nice plus and now we have a massive 120 GB HDD. Nobody can compete with that now and I won't have to worry about running out of space. I still have 12.2 GB left on my HDD however lol.

I would consider it if the new one ran considerably cooler and quieter. I hate it when the DVD drive rattles............annoying as hell.

I'll believe it when I see it. But having an HDMI port would be nice.

EDIT: They should include the HD-DVD drive in it! :-P

Hell to the no. I already spent 400.00 on a premium, so  why should I rush out and fork over another $500.00 for the version that they should have released in the first place? The only other console that I plan on buying is a PS3....not ANOTHER 360.

Jesus....and some people actually have the nerve to say that, "those who buy Sony products must love to get sh!t on over and over again". Well, if this holds true....I guess they can go ahead say the same thing about Microsoft as well, because that is exactly what this is, if true. They should have waited a bit longer, took their time and released this new "version" to begin with, instead of waiting a year after the initial launch, after millions of people have already spent $400.00 on a Xbox 360 premium.

All this does in my opinion is make Microsoft out to be a bunch of greedy chumps who are screwing over the people who were loyal enough to go ahead and buy one. If this pans out to indeed be true, then I guess the current "premium" 360 was actually just a test run for for the real version that is about to be released. No wonder so many are lemoning out on people....they released an unfinished product in order to try and get a years jump on Sony. It is just too bad for those of us who already bought one. It sucks hard, if true...plain and simple.

I imagine some customers would want to re-buy all their accessories. e.g. White controllers don't look so appealing against the backdrop of a black machine

People fail to relize that microsoft does not do this to make consumers angry. They do it to give them options. The core system is for people who don't have a high speed connection or hd tv. The premium is. The HD-DVD Drive is for the movie buffs who want to watch hd movies with out having to spend the 500$ on a stand alone player. This "new 360" is for the people like me who want IPTV. For those of you who don't know, IPTV is a television service that gives you every channel avalible including HD channels. The "New 360" will work as a DVR that lets you record up to 4 shows at once (hence the larger HDD). You can also play games while recording tv shows and while wacthing/recording let you use all your guide functions. They are not forcing you to buy this. They are simply offering it to you as an option. The problem with sony is they try to force you to buy things. They make an expencive system with a BR player built in to make it more expencive to force people to blue ray. What about those with out HD tvs? Or those who don't watch movies? What is thier incentive to buy the system for the BR player when they can get another system cheaper that gives you choices of what you want to upgrade to. I used to like sony but now they are just burying them selves and don't know when to stop.

Since there are rumors of the new 360 coming soon (120 HD, HDMI port, faster/cooler, etc.), will you buy it or not?xxcommixx
I bought mine at Best Buy this past November. I also purchased the extended warranty. Per that agreement, whenever this new version comes out I have the option of returning my current 360 in place of the new one. The only caveat is I would have to pay the difference. I probably will end up doing this. -K

Well considering that the 20GB HDD is pretty overpriced right now, I'm sure that they'd drop the price of it when the new HDD comes out.

Or not. They could always pull a cute one by releasing the larger HD at a higher price and keep the current price for the smaller one the same to make it look like it's cheaper by comparison. -K

True, they could do that. But they would probably make more sales on the 20GB HDD's from the people who bought core systems if they drop the price.

return the current 360 to best buy using my Product Replacement Plan, and then pay the difference.
