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."

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.

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.

You think Sony marketing would release that info, that would devistate their christmas productivity. :lol:
Sucks, but that's how things work. I agree with OMA (omg, apocalypse), I'd be pissed too, but you have no one to blame but yourself. As much as it does suck.

How exactly are we the consumers to blame for making a purchase not knowing that a new model was just around the corner. Don't say that electronics upgrade all the time because normally consoles move slower then that. Buying a console is usually a safe buy until the next generation. A bunch of people who got 360s for christmas are gonna be pissed.

Sony marketing? You mean microsoft right?
Second, as much as it pains me to say so. I agree with squeeky. With a new console... wait atleast a year... maybe a year and a half before buying it unless you have tons of money. Why? Because they will fix bugs and they will fuck you over if you buy it first.

Thats the thing. We did wait a year.

On that note. Welcome to capitalism.

Because you went to the store and shelled out the cash? You got what you paid for.

Doh, yes.
I see the PSU color scheme and rant about Sony by force of habit. :lol:

You would be pissed too if you bought something expensive and heard a week later that an unexpected upgrade was on its way. However this is just a rumor, so hopefully it isn't true.

Unfortunatley, this doesnt apply to the 10 millions or so people that did fork out $400 for the system.

I just figured out a way to cover my ass. I went down and purchased a warranty on my system. Now I can take it back for any reason in the next 2 years, and buy a new one. :D
