Microsoft 'Zephyr' Xbox360 manifests itself as black Xbox360

Whether or not this thing comes with a 65nm CPU is unclear. However, it will come with a bunch of other features that the 'Zephyr' was rumored to have. Australian retailers should have, by the time that the PS3 is available to PAL territories, a $750 AUD black Xbox360. This Xbox360 will have an HDMI port, a 120GB hard drive, and a shiny black controller. It may be possible to get just the hard drive as an add on for existing Xbox360's later. The device will ship for $749 AUD ($585/£299/€449).

The Register's interpretation of how this black Xbox360 may look:

As long as the newer version has an HDMI port as well as a larger HDD I’ll be happy and willing to buy it. I’ll just trade in my xbox360 and HDD player and pay the difference with the new.

Not like I’ll be losing any money I got the Xbox as a present when it first came out.

some of us others would be though. I like the trade in credit, sell the traded in systems for a reduced amount and still make a kiling.

If the newer version of the Xbox is that expensive I assume it would also play HD DVD’s. I mean, it be pretty stupid to only add on an HDMI port as well as a larger HDD and be that expensive. I’m sure it will have something else in it.

Maybe the fixed the overheating issues, that would be well worth the extra price.:laugh:

I don't think it will......because then they would be essentially be losing $$$ on their external HD-DVD player. But with the HDMI comes a better picture/movie-watching-experience if you are using such an external player :ohwell:
