Im sick of companies making "new and imporoved" versions of their consoles, just make it and stick with it. I mean, i expect it from Nintendo, with them being upgrade $#@!s and all (GBA = GBA SP, GBA Micro DS= DS Lite) but Microsoft?!?! Come on.
Way to **** on all your fans, Microsoft, Way to go.

I think black looks very nice for the 360. maybe that should have been its original color?

It does look very nice but I won't be changing my 360. I will probably upgrade my hard drive at some point though.

I think M$ should see a large increase in sales when they release this. A lot of people were waiting for an Xbox 360 with HDMI and bigger HDD.

Darn I should have waited now.

Oh well I have no use for HDMI but I like that color and 120gb would have been nice.

I just bought a 360 and have no regrets I dont need a bigger HDD because I got it hooked up to my computer for tunes and vids plus I prefer the white coloured one better(even though I havent seen this in real life yet) and is HDMI really going to make that much of a difference on a 27" tv? I dont think so.
