[QUOTE="mythrol"]I think this quote best sums up the issue: "early adopters cant sue microsoft over this because MS never tricked them into thinking they were getting a 65nm chip, HDMI, or a 120GB drive. They knew what they were and werent getting. Do you sue your car manufacturer every year when they update their models?" Are PS2 fans upset with Sony for releasing the Slim version? Also simply because this one has a built in HDMI port, doesn't mean that they're not going to release a HDMI adaptor cable for v1 360's. Heck we don't even know if this photo is real. And if it is real, if it's just a prototype model and has been scraped already. Before we make some crazy statements, let's wait until Microsoft announces what's really going to be included in the 360 update. What everyone needs to remember is, this isn't going to change the gameplay experience at all. All games released will play on the 360 you own now just fine. a slim version of the ps2 didnt come out 1-2yrs later. it came out 3-4yrs later. you can sit here all day and defend MS becasue you are a fan boy. im a causual and i feel i just been screwed. yes i trusted MS word when they said , they dont need a bigger HD because its a gameing machine.
[QUOTE="T-Zone"]Now, it seems that MS doesnt really care about its gamers, if they just gon giive up on the first 360. Take a look at the original Xbox, after the 360's release. The Xbox was completely kicked to the curb after a short lifespan due to 360. If this happens again, then Version 2, would be more focused on...mjd1001
I say just the opposite. By not offering HDMI and a larger hard drive last year, MS gave gamers a console that will play the same games as this 'updated' one will, but gave them that console for a LOT less money than if this updated one was available at launch. Had these features been available at launch, there wouldn't have been much use for them (or at least as much as there is now) and it would have cost a lot more. MS has not been shy about saying they are going to give consumers the best product for the money, and offer upgrades when available. I wouldn't be surprised if when this is launched, an HDMI cable is also going to be made available for owners of the current 360. but the question i ask you is, why did MS say we dont need HDMI or a bigger HD like what 8-9months ago, to counter PS3 hd space and HDMI. now they are saying we need it? are they trying to future proof a product now? I trusted MS word and bought it . felt comfortable with my purchase. NOw MS comes out a year later pretty much stating what they said before is bunch of BS.
Man, people are overreacting for no reason at all. This new Xbox 360 will do the exact same thing that the last one can - play Xbox 360 games. The inclusion of HDMI is nice, but Microsoft is doing it for one reason alone - in order to stay competitive with Sony. There are a lot of potential buyers who don't own a PS3 and Xbox 360 that can be persuaded to buy the 360 just because it has HDMI, but the fact of the matter is you don't need it to play games and you know that's the honest truth. Microsoft is not going to rest with the current design of the 360 when they have the opportunity to make it better than before. It's going to be a long console war, and one of the closest and most bitter yet and the 360 has not yet reached even close to 1/4th it's potential install base world wide and Microsoft is going to do whatever it takes to revamp and improve the 360 so that it can win. Think about that.
I swear, some fanboys get so bitter over small and paltry things that just don't freaking matter. You're punishing yourself for no reason - this is what happens when you adopt a console early. You think the PS3 isn't going to see revisions and improvements as well?
I wonder how many people are going to deliberately overheat and break their consoles just so that they can get one of the new ones.
It's not like Microsoft is updating it with the HD DVD drive so that you have to buy that in order to play games on HD DVD. thinicer
ppl are mad because Ususally when a console company revise a console its 3-4yrs later, not 1 yr later . taht is why i think MS just screwed is early adopters like my self. if i would of known that MS would have a better 360 one year later i would of waited. now you guys are saying its ok for MS for doing this 1year later? i would understand 2 -3yrs later becasue its console has aged. but 1yrs later. think this is my last time buying a console from ms. i felt cheated wtih first xbox . friends talked me into buying the 360 , now i feel cheated again. but sad thing is its 1yr later vs 4yrs later.
[QUOTE="alfy13"]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/0neWingedAngel
So it needs to over $400 to be fair to you? HA! Your problem.
Good things come to those who wait.
That would like saying "Sony came out with the SlimLine PS2 i should be able to send my old one in for a new one!" :roll: yes, because when consoles are revised its 3-4yrs later, not 1 year later we bring a better version of our 1yr old console.
I think its about time we have a souped up version with some extra nooks and crannies such as Wi-Fi, HD-DVD drive built in for films, Blue-Tooth, DVI, HDMI and Infra Red and some other things.Oemenia
ok mr cow. so you telling me i just got pwend with my current 360? if they add all this stuff for 399.00. and btw im not even a fanboy. but thanks for letting me know i just wtf pwned my self. along with friends who jsut bought there 360 at xmas. when they should of jsut waited for the summer rumor realease. tahnks man.
Well I believe the HDMI thing, and we all know about the smaller CPU, but 120GB hdd sounds kinda hard to believe.osusfaith
i dont know , the 120gb sounds real. me and my friends at work where just talking about. He remembered MS talking about being able to dl movies, tv shows via 360. we thougth 20gs wwas pretty small for that idea. but 120gigs sounds true then. so i think maybe reason why they are adding the 120gigs . i hope they make a addon for the extra space. i would buy it if they did that.
you know i wouldnt feel bad if they made the HD to 60igs. but a jump from 20gigs to 120gigs. Make me think the new tv online plan they are talking about , you will need a biggger HD.

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
lmao. but yah, i hope MS allows us early adopters something. But then again 9mil, i just dont see that happening. but i wont put down $400.00 again. Reason wh y i got my 360 is for gears of war, then it go pushed back. i should of just waited.
[QUOTE="The_Streets"]1. DS was revised 2. PS2 was revised 3. PC gets revised all the time 4. iPod's get revised all the time 5. Mobile (or Cell, if you're American) phones get revised all the time How have MS 'cheated' you exactly? You know what you get if you adopt early. A machine that will be updated within a year or two. Just watch, PS3 will get revised one day, and so will the Wii, when they include DVD support. STOP COMPLAINING! I for one will be getting one of these babies as soon as they hit the shops! yes they all got revised, but they didnt have PORTS ADDED TO THEM. THE PORTS I WANTED WHEN I GOT MY 360 AT LAUNCH FOR MY HDTV. that is why im pissed right now. If this is their tru 1080p fix by making a versio 2 360 , then i just got screwed by ms. that is why im pissed STreets.
