new 360 on the way

OneManArmy · 2007-01-05, 12:29 PM

Ever wonder why Microsoft hasn't released an HDMI cable for the Xbox 360, or whether the AV port was really capable of digital out? Well, here's your answer: we landed pictures of what appears to be the second Xbox 360 -- the Xbox 360 v2, if you will -- codenamed Zephyr. (The original Xbox 360, if you recall, was codenamed Xenon.) The long rumored about and awaited update to the console won't just feature a new, cooler 65nm processor, it's also finally added an HDMI port for full digital 1080p pleasure, as well as a 120GB drive, just what the doctor ordered. The 120GB drive may or may not come bundled with the kit, we don't yet know, just as we also don't yet know how much a Zephyr 360 is going to run (we imagine it'll go for the same price as currently so they can keep up a little on their expanding margin). But our very kind Xbox insider seemed happy to let us know we'd be able to get them "soon."

same here, you should beable to upgrade to the new version for very little cost imo. Bullshit if they dont.

Microsoft has been damn good with helping out old customers, I hardly think that they will fuck us over that hardcore.

I don't understand why you guys are so pissed off? you got what you paid for. you got what you want, otherwise you wouldn't of bought one.

PS, PS2, NES, Sega, etc have all had revisions.

quit being fucking communists.

I'm not pissed, I already talked to my parents.

I'm gonna give my current 360 to my brother, and I'll get this new one. >.>

It'll be cheaper then getting him a fucking PS3, I bet.
