I'm angry at:
- High gas prices
- Lack of unique PS3 Games
- No CagCast this week.
But I'll live.

Meh. This crap happens. Just think of all the fun you've had with the sucker that those without the system have lacked since launch.
However I think Microsoft outta give a $-off coupon to existing owners towards the bigger hard drive. Maybe like $20 off. I'd imagine they'll just sell the bigger drive in stores for the same price as the tiny 20Gig currently available.
They at least damn well better, what with the ability to put damn near drive you want in the PS3.

I still have a year and a half on the CC warranty. I'll just swap it for a new one when the time comes.

They are planning on you keeping your working 360, and if you want the upgraded features that you should have known were coming, go buy another one.
Will the new CPU run faster? Why? Oh that's right, we are all climate engineers, and cooler means faster....now let me go water cool my 360 and say I got 10 more FPS in Halo.
Can you upgrade the HDD on yours? Probably so.
HDMI, well, that's different, but you didn't expect it?
Seriously though, it's not keeping you from playing games the same way. While it may really suck because we don't have the lastest revision, but as far as a game system, it's not going to make a difference I don't think. (I could be wrong)
It's amusing to me that people didn't think this would happen. I wouldn't doubt for a second that a good percentage are in the Blu-Ray/PS3 frame of mind that I saw at game stores more than I like to count.
random_guy: "Man, that PS3 is bad ass."
employee: "what is on it that you want?"
random_guy: "<silence>", "Madden man, that's the shit"
employee: "You know they have that on 360 right?"
random_guy: "and they got that Blu-Ray movie thing"
employee: "do you have a HDTV?"
random_guy: "no"

It's annoynig, but it shouldn't be too difficult to swap my current one for the updated one at Best Buy using my warranty.

As for the 120HD drive unless they allow you to burn your games onto the harddrive for faster load times I have no need for it - I dont use the 360 to download movies and tv shows and when Im done with a demo I delete it. Im fine with my VGA 1080i imput, Im not a HD nerd that could even see the dif. I think.
