I saw a news topic on it at gamespot.com and this is what it said.

Yes, you've heard this rumor before: Microsoft is readying a new version of the Xbox 360 with a 120GB hard drive and an HDMI video output port. The rumor's been around since January, thanks to a leaked photo of the so-called "Zephyr"--an HDMI-equipped 360, which Microsoft claimed was only a concept model.

Now, though, word of a 120GB 360 has elevated above the realm of speculation. Leaked scans revealed that next month's issue of Game Informer has a straight-up, nonspeculative news article containing a bevy of details about the machine.

According to GI, the rumors are all true: The new Xbox 360 has an HDMI port and will be bundled with an HDMI cable. It also sports a 120GB hard drive and a matte black housing and will come with a matching black controller. It will also be released in "late April"--much sooner than the rumored holiday launch.

That was the good news. The bad news is the console's reported price--a hefty $479, just $20 less than the 20GB PlayStation 3. But, unlike Sony's console, the new Xbox 360 won't support a next-generation video format. GI quotes a Microsoft rep as saying the format is "not proven." That fact was backed up by a recent report by industry-research firm Nielsen/Videoscan, which found the PS3-supported Blu-ray format is outselling HD-DVD two-to-one.

Luckily, early adopters with overstuffed 20GB drives will reportedly have an option other than plunking down nearly $500. The article says the 120GB hard drive will be sold separately for "under $200"--a welcome development for the cash-strapped 360 owner eager to take advantage of Xbox Live Marketplace video downloads and the forthcoming 360 IPTV service.

The official story: Even though the GI article is not rumor-based, Microsoft dismissed it as such. "It is our standard policy to not comment on speculation," a rep said. "Microsoft has not announced anything regarding a new Xbox."

Bogus or not bogus?: A source close to Microsoft confirmed that the new 360 is not bogus. However, said source had no information about the timing of its release.

What's wrong with the color black? It's about time to get the theme of the original Xbox.
