Topic: The second Xbox 360 revealed: codename Zephyr Posted: 01-05-2007 at 3:07pm |
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."

It's about time.HDMI was a big oversight. No way the 120GB HD is packed in,unless it's in a high price ultra premium bundle.

That's very interesting. I'd love to know how soon is "soon" and what its price will be. I also wonder how current Xbox 360 owners will take the news. I would be kinda annoyed personally.
