RUMOR: from new Xbox 360 models to kissing Core kaput

We just can't quit you, BlaXbox 360! - Image 1Not exactly the NeXt-box Peter might have been referring to in EGM, but... If this rumor at Xbox-Archiv.de is true, then Microsoft might be revamping its SKU lineup - maybe the news is Euro-specific, but something like this doesn't get bottled up in one continent for long. According to Xbox-Archiv's sources:
  • the Core SKU pack will soon be canceled;
  • the Premium SKU pack will drop to the Core price of € 299.00 (about US$ 395.00), from its current € 350; and
  • there's a new BlaXbox 360 (with HDMI and 120GB HDD) which will hit Euro stores for around € 400 in May.
In other words,
  • Core is kaput,
  • Premium is the new Core, and
  • BlaXbox 360 will be the new Premium.
If all this is true. If all this is true. You know the deluge of new versions of the Xbox 360 rumors that have hit the internet lately.

Come back fanboy when you've learnt to spell

If you don't think Sony will do the same with the PS3 in future, i.e. drop the 20GB model (they already have in Europe), lower the price of the 60GB PS3 and introduce a PS3 model with a larger HDD, then you must be REALLY stupid.

Good pricing and double the capacity of high end PS3 standard hard drive

Try reading the story properly - Premium SKU pack will drop to the Core price of %u20AC 299.00 (about US$ 395.00), from its current %u20AC 350.

A clever move if the HDMI 120 gig version is released

Very true about the PS3 dropping the 20 gig hard drive from Europe think they have from Australia to and they have NO mic either, strange how the PS3 owner missed those points. So the new premium will have DOUBLE the capacity of the High end PS3 drive which means that games will also get the hard drive installation option for all or some of the games, and of course the HDMI port, its looking good.

...

I think the PS3 needs a resize in 2 years, that things is freakin huge....and heavy.

1 USB PORT IS AT THE REAR

The 360 HAS 1 USB port at the back as well as Two front ones, my motion sensor camera is connected to the rear port of my 360 right now, what are you talking about?..

Home > Microsoft

Sony will just ***** on the 360 by releasing an official ps3 hard drive. Now what seems more reasonable updating the whole system for a bigger HD or just replace the old with the new for an affordable price. not to mention already owning a system that beats the 360 hands down, comes packed with blu-ray and in october HOME Home > XBL/Microsoft/halo/xbox Xbox fanboys give-in, you cannot win this war!!

lol :D

Ya right Nubba

You can kiss your sad little wishes goodbye. For the 360 is here to stay and will beat the PS3. While the PS3 may have Blue-Ray and Final Fantasy (feel free to name others) Xbox has Xboxlive (and although that HOME looks freakin sweet) it will not beat Xboxlive. And come on Halo 3 and Gears 2 its over... Plus we will have HDMI and a 120 gig hddrive XD. You can bet your ass that eventually Xboxlive will release something close to HOME, in my opinion that would be freaking awesome to have HOME on xbox live and set up tv's in my room with pics of naked chicks and stuff like that Woooooooooooooo!

PS3 FANBOYS ARE FUNNY

Its so funny how ps3 fanboys come to the x360 side and try to talk krap because they are mad the new 360 is going to kick ps3 ass even more than the regular 360 has, the guy on top of me is right, Nova is a moron and dose not know what he is talking about. The best games of the xbox 360 has not even come out and it is still kicking sonys A$$ just wait until HALO 3 comes out. The xbox 360 is going to win the war over the ps3 and the wii

by - 2007-03-13 15:24:46
wifi and camera

this just came to me, and there's probably a very obvious answer i'm missing, but what if you have the camera AND wifi on the 360? do you need a USB splitter?
by - 2007-03-13 17:43:49

by - 2007-03-13 19:07:18

PS3 has already LOST

LOL 11 million 360s, 5 million Wiis and about 2 million PS3s, PS3 isnt even in this war its already OUT. And nobody apart from PS3 owners cares one tiny bit about Blu Ray its sales against the DVD is almost NIL.
by - 2007-03-14 05:32:17
Truth is you have a PS3 ahh there there.

Thats a bit opinionated to say isnt it.
by - 2007-03-14 05:35:04
PS3 owners posting here is always a good sign for the 360

Wow, so many PS3 fans on a new 360 hardware release News, Looks like MS is doing yet another good move the 360 really is rolling forwards now.
by - 2007-03-14 05:38:40

Black47 If you like it So much why are you about posting on a 360 hardware news section then ?. oh and Mr Sarcasim Black + xbox 1, old sega etc HDMI port + DVD players HDTVs etc Bigger HD + PCs

!!

Would be great to see a new Xbox360. I'm so happy to have a xbox360, and have not bought a PS3 :P. Freakin great games are coming (mass effect, too human, forza motorsport, HALO3!!!, Gears of War2!!!...), 6 millions already playin @XboxLive, great Arcade Games (Worms + Alien Hominid 4 ever :) ), in the near future homebrew enabled, great price for this hardware (so I had enough to buy a HDTV), and now maby a bigger HDD (why not ;) ). WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT MORE???? MS you did a great job

So?

"Its so funny how ps3 fanboys come to the x360 side and try to talk krap because they are mad the new 360 is going to kick ps3 ass even more than the regular 360 has, the guy on top of me is right, Nova is a moron and dose not know what he is talking about." Really? I read a few comments on Xbots flaming the PS3 news so can anyone say hypocrisy? Besides, so what if the PS3 doesn't sell that well, the 360 had a 1 1/2 start on both consoles anyway. Maybe by that time the Wii out-sold both 360 and PS3, or vice versa.
