Well, I need a spare for the wifey, so a black one would go great in the living room! Hopefully files can easily be transferred back and forth.
Anyone who just bought a 360 recently is gonna be pissed about this news.
Xbox 360 To Get HDMI Support, Larger Drive
by Jeff Cork
POSTED: 3/21/2007 12:09 PM
As reported in the April issue of Game Informer Magazine, Microsoft is preparing a new revision to the Xbox 360’s hardware. According to the source within the company, the new version is poised to take advantage of the console’s popularity as a media-delivery system. The revision will pack HDMI output and a 120 GB hard drive in a black case, and it includes an HDMI cable and black game controller. The system will not support HD-DVD playback, however, though owners can purchase an add-on HD-DVD drive for $199.99. If you already own an Xbox 360 and are drooling over all that hard-drive space, fear not. When the new system debuts at the end of April, the new drive will be available separately for less than $200.
Since the issue went to press, some new developments have come to light. Engadget is reporting that the new system will be called the Xbox 360 Elite, and it will cost $479. The first run will be limited, and subsequent systems will revert to the traditional white case. Eventually, the Xbox Premium will be phased out in favor of the Elite, which could be as soon as this summer.
We’ll keep you posted with more information as it becomes available.

Well I've been looking up info on this new Xbox. It may be a April Fools Joke. Some people are speculating that since it's in the April issue of Game Informer it may be a joke. Anyway here's a fan made pic of what it will probably look like. Pretty bad ass if you ask me.
Smackdown vs Raw 2007 is definitely for fans of wrestling. I tried it for the classic wrestlers and it was not a fun game to me. If I knew who the bad guys and good guys were maybe I would've had more fun.
I am about to pop in TMNT on the 360. Review to follow.
and $130 for a legendary edition of halo 3.
the ing helmet it comes with better be a working model or something!
It's not even wearable. Too bad too, I would've worn it for halloween.
$130 is a pretty hefty price. I usually get the limited/collectors editions but the tin box and extra feature DVD usually never get used.
Just got Tetris, it's alright, could've easily been an Live Arcade game.
Was there a listing of gamertags here? I really would like to play online with some of you Spurstalk guys when I have the time.
Looking to get Vegas in a few weeks.
I just added mine to my sig.
got that situation i was going through dealt with... now it'll just be a week or so... funny because i've been saying that for a loooooong time. hope this time i mean it.
ing Oblivion sucks. I beat a Thieves Guild mission, meet all the requirements to get the next one, but the character who is supposed to find me to give me the next mission will not spawn.
What a piece of game. I'm never buying another le developed by Bethesda again. What a waste of 100+ hours to get stuck and not be able to progress.
I got Ninja Gaiden Black saturday. Dont' know why I didn't get it a few years ago. It kicks ass. But damn if it isn't hard though.
God of War 2:
I bought the game on Friday. Waited until the weekend to play it. Now it being Sunday night, I'm on the last level of the game. Either I've been putting some major hours or this game is really short. I heard it was at least twice longer than the first one.
Anyway great game! I might play it again in the harder difficulties to enjoy the experience again. I really can't believe this is a PS2 game though. The graphics are outstanding! Not only that, you would think a game like this would load every five minutes but the fluidity is extremely well done. As for gameplay, if you played the first one, nothing needs to be said here.
Sux 4 u but my Oblivion game kicked ass ive been done with it
Did you kill the NPC? If so, death is persistent in Oblivion. So killing the archmage keeps him dead from start to finish.
Question....360 or PC? If PC, just do a console command to make him spawn. If 360, youre fooked.
GTA IV better kick some ass. I'm sure it will, but I still wonder what real city it will be based on.
No. The NPC is Amusei I think, it's on X360, and the mission I did was the one where you first meet the Gray Fox. After browsing online, I've found it's a pretty well-do ented bug that lots of people are running across, and the only solution is to go back to an old saved game. One of the theories I've heard is that you cannot talk to any beggar before Amusei comes to get you, because you have to talk to a beggar after he summons you, and maybe it thinks you've already stepped ahead if you do. Still, I reloaded, beat the mission, never talked to a bum, waited for days in both Imperial City and Bruma, and the er still hasn't shown. I've fenced the required $700 to have him spawn.
I can't believe any company would release a game you cannot progress through. This is the second such mission I've found. The first is the one where you get a dog statue and the Umbra sword, where the game crashes when you give the dog statue back unless you travel to another town at a certain split second after giving the dog statue back. What a POS game.
Wow - thats crazy. I live a block from there so I should check it out sometime. Weird.I just saw in the new issue of the SA Current, there's a new restaurant/club opening today a block from the White Rabbit called Gigabites and Java. They have a worldly menu and have 20 flatscreens with PS3's, 360s and PC all hooked up for multiplayer play.
Wow. Now that you mention it, I do remember reading about 360 bugs whilst researching character progression (the min/maxing aspect).
Thats complete bull . Im so sorry dude. I see you post in alot of PC threads, whether it be hardware or software. Up until this post, I would have definately assumed you had Oblivion for PC. Its only been patched twice (maybe 3, dunno, I dont use patches normally).
I think you should maybe adopt a similar policy....if its available for both consoles and PC, get the PC version (unless its sports). As you well know, PC games have a much MUCH longer shelf life due to mods, patches, support and connectivity. Consoles are here today, gone tomorrow.
^I think I have also hit a bug with Oblivion. I'm not near as far into at baseline, but in going to get Martin from the city where the 1st oblivion gate has opened, you have to close the gat in order to get Martin and his group out of the church in the town.
Well, I go through the oblivion gate into some kind of world, go up in the towers and get to a set of doors that say I need the Citadel key? I've looked up info and walkthroughs, and they make no mention of a Citadel key, so how the am I supposed to advance the main story line if I can't get through the door and eventually close this oblivion gate?
I'm still looking up info, but with this game I'm wondering if I should just stick more to the main quest and not get into so many side quests/potential bug problems? I'm playing on the 360, any advice on this is greatly appreciated!
That one's kind of tricky. It's really easy to get lost in those towers. You have to go up in the first tower, and near the highest point you can reach (without leaving it) there will be a bridge you can cross to another tower. Go to the top of this tower and you'll see a friendly NPC in a cage and have to fight a demon, who will have the key on his body when you kill him. Go back across the bridge to the first tower you were in, and now go through the locked door.
Also, be on the lookout for a switch on a wall as you go through the hallways located past the door you just unlocked with the citadel key, as it's really easy to miss. You also have to enter a small portal on the ground (like the ones at the Arcane University) to get to the very end, when you reach the top of this first tower.
I haven't had a chance to check it out. It sounds pretty nice, I'm surprised they didn't have a website on their ad, I'd like to see what the setups look like.
So, Xbox Live is going to be available/is available to PC gamers. We'll see how that turns out.
