I'm almost positive that the guy on the right during the presser was Mark Cuban.

I find it really interesting that they never announced they were taking down the Now Playing list, if that is what they really did. Hopefully they are just adding to it or something, because it's one of my fav features on user's profiles.

Does anyone realize this is a APRIL FOOL'S DAY joke? I mean really guys, it's in the April issue of GI and is one of the easiest stories to make up. This is not real.

Eh, you could be right but this is way to big to make up, there would be way to many angry fans ovre this. Yet the release date could be fake.

April Fool's Day Joke means that he hasn't read *any* of this forum since it was started months and months ago. This would be quite an elaborate joke - involving Microsoft employees leaking a prototype 360, dozens of of retailers lying about their SKUs in the system, et cetera. April release date might be a joke, but the fact that a bigger hard drive is coming is not.

And I never said that. All I said was that the article in Game Informer is nothing more then a April Fool's Dy joke. No doubt a larger hard drive is on it's way, but it's not coming out as a brand new Black Xbox 360 in a month. That makes no sense. There is no reason why Microsoft would keep it hidden for this long and not reveal it yet.

Right... no reason except that there are thousands of premium Xbox 360s on the shelf that they're hoping to sell between now and when they announce the new unit. If they were to say, today, that they're make a new model of the 360 with significant new features, but weren't going to release the new model until, say, April 30, how do you think that would affect Xbox 360 sales? Think. How far in advance have price cuts been announced? How far in advance was the slimline PS2 or the DS Lite announced? The cut shipping expectation from 15 million to 12 million by June 2007 was the warning sign that something big was coming - this is that something big. The line-up is being shifted to the 65nm processes from the top down, which makes sense. You wouldn't start the shift to better hardware with the Core unit would you? Start it with the most expensive machines, let the early adopters of the 65nm unit shell out $480 for a black limited edition model, then start producing "normal" ones in white at the $400 price point.

Alright, you convinced me. Those are all good points, guess there just might be a new console coming out.

But I'm just gonna wait and pick up the 120GB HDD by itself when it's released, I don't need the HDMI.
