Rumour has it that Microsoft will be releasing a new SKU of the Xbox 360 sometime soon...

New Xbox 360?

Apparently it will have a quieter drive, larger hard drive and HDMI out.

It's still cloud talk, but if this pans out I'm so going to be pissed. THIS is why I am increasingly becoming a Nintendo Fan Boy. THIS is why it pissed me off that Microsoft is potentially blurring the line between PC and console gaming...so what? Maybe certain games will need the larger capacity hard drive, or a faster drive, or hell, even a built in HD-DVD drive.

I'm telling you, they rushed this thing out of the gate too soon to beat the others. Don't get me wrong, I loves me some Dead Rising, Halo, Gears Of War etc...but this just leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Honestly, were it not for Banjo Threeie I don't think I would keep the system if a beefier one came out. I might just say "Fuck you Microsoft" and sell all of my shit and get an iBook or something. I don't take this lightly either - I froze my ass off overnight to get that damn thing. I wasn't alone - the least they could do would be honour us somehow...although I know that won't happen.

Sorry about the rant.
