Xbox 360: 120GB HDD, HDMI, black casing?
by GamePro Staff | 02/08/2007 | 1:52:42 PM PST


Recent rumors of a brand new black-colored Xbox 360 machine have set the gaming industry's blogosphere on fire. According to a post by GamersReports, an inside source revealed to them that Myer, a chain of Australian department stores, recently received phone calls from Microsoft informing them to prepare their stores for a shipment of new black 360s equipped with 120 GB hard drives and HDMI support. The console is rumored to cost $749 AUD ($585 USD) and will be due in Australia in the month of April, but the source claims that Microsoft is trying to push for an earlier launch to interfere with Australia's PS3 launch on March 23rd.

Although the post claims that this news is now "100% official", the author offers no actual official sources, nor has there been a confirmation from Microsoft Australia. The company dismisses anything not found in their press releases or on Xbox.com as nothing more than "pure rumor and speculation".

It is the same rumor, just with a lot more details and apparently true.

I just wish my 360 had an HDMI Port. I just got a 1080p 61 inch Samsung DLP TV and want to use the HDMI Port instead.
 
I don't care if its pink I want it.... Been wanting hdmi since it came out. The bigger hard drive cant come soon enough.
 
oh good lol.

if there is in fact a new 360 coming, will the original style become obsolete?

im planning on buying one in april, cause my parents will pay 1/2 for my birthday, but if a new one is coming out, im not so sure.

i cant afford a ps3, let alone a new $750 360!
 
Personally I think they should include an HDDVD drive if it were to sell for $600-700. That at least matches the PS3's feature set.
 
Maybe they will? Obviously, nothing is official and thus nothing is truly final. Not that I am saying it is going to happen, but all the rumors seem to indicate MS is going to unleash a newer, better 360. If they do, I may buy it for the HDMI capabilities, since I will be able to utilize them now. But, for $600-$700 I would have to wait a while.
 
My sources have told me that all of the rumors are just that: rumors. There is no plan to make another 360 with a bigger harddrive or HD built in or anything like that.
