Game Informer Confirms New 360 Model

Filed in archive News on March 23, 2007

Kotaku reports in with some scans from the upcoming April issue of Game Informer that confirm a new Xbox 360 model will be hitting stores soon. The new model will sport a black case, HDMI output and a spacious 120GB hard drive -- for a price, of course: the new unit will cost even more than the current "Premium" set at $479.

My old square TV and I could care less about HDMI, but I'd sure like that new hard drive. Something tells me that Microsoft isn't going to let me have it cheap, though. Let's see -- if the hard-driveless Core unit is $300, and the Premium unit is $400, and Microsoft charges $100 for a 20GB drive...could they actually have the nerve to charge the difference between the Core and this new black unit for the 120GB drive? It wouldn't surprise me to see the 120GB drive priced at around $150-$180, but as a consumer who already spent $400 on this console it would make me pretty mad.
