thats awesome. if its true, ill be getting it!

Im disappointed in the price.

$80 More for 100GB and a new color? Not a bad deal if you ask me, yet I wonder how the hell somebody would be able to fill that entire amount of space.

If true, and these also had the new quieter drives, I'd probably buy one.

If true, I wonder if these have the HDMI ports too.

If this is indeed true I will be cashing in on my best buy replacement plan. I bought my 360 at zerohour so it expires this November. If this date is correct it will be perfect timing.

I don't think MS would go through the trouble of a whole new SKU for a 360 unless it DID have HDMI. The whole point of releasing a new 360 SKU would be for people more media/storage minded (IPTV, lots of HD video downloads etc)

I don't think $80 more for HDMI and 100 gigs more storage is a bad price at all.

Hot shit.

Don't forget this new model is supposed to have the smaller, cooler 65nm chip along with the other new features already mentioned.

Wouldn't they just give you another white premium 360?

Well you need at least that much space if they are going to offer IP TV and want people to download movies and tv programs.

I'm looking forward to seeing if this is true, so propellor_head can shut the up about his prophecies about this releasing for $400.

well its probably true, stores are usually pretty good about leaking stuff this way. ill probably hang on to the one i have as i dont see a need for the bigger HD. but eventually ill have to get that one.

they probably will eliminate the core system when this comes out.

Nope, they even tell you when you purchase the plan that you can use the credit towards a different console.

don't you guys know that a black 360 is a debug kit?debugs come with a bigger hard drive.my best friend got one and he can previewmarket place stuff before it comes out. check cheapys debug video for proof.

$450 seems like a more appropriate price. GameCrazy(and other stores) often put placeholder prices on things before they're officially priced, and they're more often than not much higher than the actual price.

I believe the 360 and ps3 were listed in GameCrazy's system at $600 or $1000 or something before their prices were announced, since a placeholder price is necessary and it's better to put it higher than lower in case some register monkey quotes a customer that price.

dont super d know that thar is rumorz of a consumer black xbox 360 with 120GB harddrive.

Releasing in May for only $20 less than a PS3? Seems like a strange strategy if that date and price are anywhere near correct.

They'd basically be trying to sell a larger hard drive which most people wouldn't use for $80 more than the standard console. Most consumers wouldn't know the difference in hard drive size, but many may notice that the PS3 plays blu-ray for only $20 more.

The price seems rather steep to me.
