^ Well, Chalts, I guess there's no accounting for taste. Maybe if they set the price point at $130 and put the game in a replica of Link's head it would sell like hotcakes to the Halo crowd.

Has anyone seen this?

It is reportedly a new limited edition version of the Xbox 360 with these specs:

-Black case
-HDMI port
-120GB hard drive
-$479
-No HD-DVD drive (buy separate).

The magazine (Game Informer) that is running this, has denied that it is an April Fool's Day joke, so there may be some credibility to the rumour. Given the fact that Microsoft is notorious for tinkering with their products (the 360 has already gone through 3 different disc drive revisions!) and the fact that they had a lot of egg on their face for not initially having an HDMI port, I'm putting this one in the likely category.

As an early adopter of the 360, I'll be a little miffed if this pans put. Where's the loyalty? I'm a console gamer so that I only have to upgrade every 4-5 years, not after a year and a half of the damn thing being released.
