New HDMI, Black 360 Coming Next Month
Kotaku.com
We posted it as a rumor this morning, based off of a Games Informer article, but the mag's editor has since contacted us to confirm that the story that is running in the latest Game Informer is no joke: A new Xbox 360 is arriving next month.
While Microsoft declined to comment on the story, sources tell us they plan to send out a press release next month, which is pretty much the only time they could, announcing the story.
According to the mag article, the new black Xbox 360 will arrive in late April and feature HDMI output, an HDMI cable and a 120GB harddrive all for $479. Unfortunately, there appears to be no talk of a 360 featuring a built-in HD-DVD drive. Perhaps that's down the line. There also seems to be room for a 360 with support for the IPTV announced at CES earlier this year.
Four SKUs, sounds like a bit much to me, but I thought two different Xbox 360s were out of line, so what do I know? Brian Crecente
