at least you'll be able to buy the 120 GB hard drive without getting a whole new system.

Good point! But if the 10GB costs 99.99, then the 120GB will be 2/3 of the way to a new system!!!

120 GIGS!!!! You will NEVER....EVER....use that up. Unless you hack it and store games on the drive. Other than that, 10 gigs is WAY more than enough.

Not when you can now download movies, TV, music , etc...

True, but you have to pay for all that type of stuff. If you have windows xp media center, you can play stream it off your computer.

True, and I wouldn't pay for the downloads anyway, but I have downloaded a lot of demos and trailers which add up fast too. But I can see Microsoft coming up with other reasons why 120GB might be necessary...

There another article about this at GameSpot...

I'm also kinda mad about this. I just recently got a 360 and now if I want full HD I'll have to buy another one!?!?! Truely though for me at this point I guess it doesn't really matter since the TV my XBox is on only does 720p/1080i anyway.

If I see anything next week at CES I will let you guys know. Im only going the last few days since they changed it to the beginging of the week now.

 

[Gruson]

Sell your current one and buy the new one...120gigs is nothing when dealing with HD movies.

Anybody want to buy a 360?

 

[The Josh]

I'll just buy the hard drive. The rest of the stuff doesn't bother me that much since the TV I play on isn't HD and I wouldn't be using this to play HD movies through.

 

[tomandshell]

I'm having no problem getting 1080p through the VGA connection, so I won't be in a rush to run out and buy a new one right away.

I might need an HDMI if I want to connect to an LCD monitor, so that could be a good thing for me. Luckily I haven't gotten a 360 yet.

I have a 32" LCD in my room and you don't NEED HDMI to connect to it, I'm sure it would look better if you did though

 

[hairlesswookiee]

awesome!!! i already know someone that will buy my old 360 so this isn't a problem for me. i guess the PS3 days are numbered now that the 360 can do everything it can do for cheaper. now if they would just include a HD DVD drive in it i will be happy!!!!

PS3's are warming shelves around here. Looks like the honeymoon is over.
