The guy hasn't come back with the goods yet, so (no surprise) I call BS. Either that or Microsoft got to him first ;).
 
If you're going to randomly make something up, it might be a little more believable if you don't misspell everything and make up terms like 1080h :D

Though I probably shouldn't point that out, since it's nice to be able to discredit stuff fast :D

He got some very *minor* criticism (more minor than he deserved) and then his latest post is:

You know what I dont even know why i bother.....their will be no pics or any other info on this ...sorry for the guys that really were waiting for this but im not going to post about this anymore cause of some losers

Oh, OK, great, he's playing the "I'm taking my ball and going home" card because people were mean to him. Wonderful. What a jackass, whether it is true or not - I'm not sure which is worse, actually ;).

In other news, I bought a 360 today at Costco because they were $25 off. I got home and opened it and realized after I saw the manufactured date was fucking June 2006 that it was the old-style box (with the launch games pictured on it)! Dammit! I looked at them and they were the newer ones (well, most, anyway) but I must have grabbed the only old one out of the palette. Either that or I got one someone else switched out and returned (the plastic was part way open under the outer box). Now I need to return that and see if I can get a newer one (want the BenQ drive at least). If the black 360 turns out to be true I'm going to be seriously pissed that this jackass got his feelings hurt and wouldn't post the damn pictures (cause then I'd wait). But most likely he is just BSing. It would have been better if he had just disappeared though instead of weaseling out of it.

Another good indication 360 will have HDMI?

Thoughts?[/QUOTE]

I wouldn't call that an indication that the 360 is getting HDMI at all. This link merely contains some text stating the 360 is supported on an HDMI switch box. It is also possible the switch box could have component inputs which implies Xbox 360 compatibility. Unfortunately, the lack of a product photo removes our ability to prove either case.

The second Xbox 360 revealed: codename Zephyr

Posted Jan 5th 2007

Ever wonder why Microsoft hasn't released an HDMI cable for the Xbox 360, or whether the AV port was really capable of digital out? Well, here's your answer: we landed pictures of what appears to be the second Xbox 360 -- the Xbox 360 v2, if you will -- codenamed Zephyr. (The original Xbox 360, if you recall, was codenamed Xenon.) The long rumored about and awaited update to the console won't just feature a new, cooler 65nm processor, it's also finally added an HDMI port for full digital 1080p pleasure, as well as a 120GB drive, just what the doctor ordered. 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). But our very kind Xbox insider seemed happy to let us know we'd be able to get them "soon."

still no indication of price though

German site Xbox-Archiv, known to be quite reliable, stated that the Core pack will be canceled, the Premium will drop to 299 euro, the black HDMI-supporting 360 will be launched this May for 350~450 euro, and finally Halo 3 will hit stores right before Christmas 2007.

so if the current price ratio carries over that's basically in USD

Premium $299
HDMI 120GB $399ish
 
[quote name='Punk_Raven']That would suck. I just got my 360 and it's an older model :(

Guess i'd just spend another 300 on a new prem.[/QUOTE]

Same here, just got mine.
 
[quote name='guyver2077']hold up.. non removable 120gb?? wtf how do i transfer my shit then[/QUOTE]

It says that should just read "hard disk".

I'm hoping it's more of a serious redesign than just changing the color or adding an HDMI port.

Someone commented on it below, something to with the German translation, but it probably is removable.

Anyways, let's look at things realistically. The 360 hasn't even hit the 2 yr mark. It's unlikely they are going to give a price drop. With the recent (few months) release of the HD-DVD drive as an add-on, a 120GB HD to come bundled is also unlikely IMO. HDMI will be added, & a cooler chip, for $400, that's plausible, I don't see it any other way.
 
The tech questions are interesting, but what I wanna know is how in the hell Wubb got in the xbox-scene video?

Confirmed.

will have 120GB Hard Drive, HDMI, and be colored space black as well as the controllers.

cost will be $479 until about July when it should be re-released as the Premium, in white for $400.

it's confirmed to run cooler, but no confirmation as to if it has 65nm
