Hey everyone,

I got a special issue for the second issue, and that is on the "Xbox 360 Elite", "Zeyphr", or "Xbox 360 v2". What are they? the same rumored system that is a new Xbox 360 that will the colored black and will feature a 120GB Hard drive, a new cooling system, and an HDMI port. Now apperantly, people are saying this thing is really coming becuase of an article on it in the recent Game Informer Issue. However, things come into questioning when you look at this article:

- Why is this news coming from someone unknown? "a soure within the company." I doubt that big news comes from random people, but hey, whatever...

- Why has this not been comfirmed by Microsoft yet? If you take a look at the reps who respond to journalists, you will see none of them are saying "yea, its coming" but more "this is still speculation."

- This is in the April article of Game Informer. While some would say this is a very sick joke on their part, you have to remember that maybe they wanted to have the sickest April Fools joke of this year, so what better way than to play with their readers minds? Plus, The new Xbox 360 is coming out in April according to the article. Ring any bells?

- Why is it replacing the the premium unit over the core? That makes no sense to have the elite and core be the only systems on the market when they are so vastly different from each other. If the premium is replacing the core, why is that key issue not covered in the article? I believe thats important for people to know that the premium is getting a price cut to $300 to relieve current owners that this is indeed a price cut of their model.

So, the question still stands: Is this thing really coming?

My best answer to that this article in Game Informer is a April Fools Joke until Microsoft proves otherwise. However, this thing is definately something Microsoft might be cooking up for a holiday release. Still, that won't be known until Microsoft actually says something about it.

Thats it,

Edit: it seems Microsoft will be announcing something wednesday about the Xbox 360 Elite, according to teamxbox. This officallywill probably be known as "2007's worst kept secret ever." Thanks to live for the update. This case is closed.
