New Version of Xbox 360 Rumoured

Carlo Becchi writes "According to Engadget a new version of the Xbox 360 is on the way. The next version of the console is codenamed 'Zephyr', and sports a bigger disk (120 Gb), better manufacturing process (65nm) and HDMI digital out up to 1080p. From the article: '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).'" It should be pointed out at this point the whole story is a fairly convincing photo and leaks from 'a source'. Take with a grain of salt.

Give me the ultimate version option, one with built in HD-DVD, Wireless, HDMI, and the 120GB HD. I'd pay $600 for that version.

I know they'll sell like hotcakes then. Especially if they smelled like hot cakes!

Cue the DNF comments...

They're just trying to win Wired's 2007 Vaporware Awards [slashdot.org]. They figure if they leak it now they have a whole year to build it up. It's good marketing

Well, it worked for hotcakes.

Quieter than a turboprop?

I swear the FAA calls me every time I turn on my 360 to play a game. A couple of times, seismologists have dropped in to see what was going on.
