More rumors revealed about Xbox 360 Ultimate |
Listed in: Xbox 360 Tags: Bill Gates, Gunpei Yokoi, HDMI, Microsoft, Sony, xbox 360 titles

Gunpei Yokoi's Lateral Thinking of Withered Technology may be working out all well and good for Nintendo, but the other competitors in this next-gen war - that is, Sony and Microsoft - seem to be sticking to their guns, coming out with bigger and better machines of gaming joy. Microsoft in particular seems to be getting ready to pull out one of its biggest guns, with more rumors surfacing about the Xbox 360 Ultimate SKU.
While we already know that this alleged new version of the Xbox 360 will sport an HDMI port as well as an HD-DVD drive, it seems that it will also come with other improvements to make more than just the graphics connoisseurs contented: built-in Wi-Fi, high definition audio output, cooler 65nm hardware and a near-silent fan. It will also have an enormous hard drive capacity, weighing in at around 320 GBs heavy, and will be able to take advantage of the Xbox 360 IPTV service that should be up at the time the Ultimate hits stores.
Of course, until we get official word from Microsoft (the rumor mill also suggests that Bill Gates himself will be revealing the Ultimate in his keynote speech next week at the 2008 Consumer Electronic Show), we'll have to file this one under the rumor category. But at least we won't have to wait long for its existence to be confirmed, won't we? Updates as we get them.

if you want to have more media ability to takeover your home entertainment, granted you may pay extra... but with the upgrade more than likely will factor in people w/ pre "ultimate" 360s regarding the iptv service... there have been posting of people sending back their system and getting the updated firmware showing the "spot" on the blade for it if i recall. not sure if that was debunked or not... but could turn your existing 360 into a cable box for a seperate room via wifi w/ also phone access via voip (depending how it'll be bundled w/ the service) so your 360 could be making/receiving telephone calls while you watch tv show of your choice in pip and playing halo3 online.
so for that, wouldnt you buy a new 360?

Seriously....even if they did come out with the elite or this ultimate right off the bat, there would have been no use for it.
Movie marketplace was what urged people to get an elite for the bigger HDD.
Now with the ability to buy old xbox games which are 4gigs each, an expanding movie marketplace and also IPTV, there is now a need for 320 GB HDD and those same people will probably want a build in HDDVD player.
You can purchase everything else you need seperately to get up-to-date or if you must, sell your old system and upgrade.
Oh btw, changes are not always cosmetic...
DS lite has a better and brighter LCD
PSP lite has more then double the memory of the old one
PS2 slim had a built in ethernet port...
Not to mention Sony is doing the same thing with PS3, just not to the same extent...but there are still many different models of PS3 out there, some better then others....
