It is extremely unlikely that it will be any faster than the current system. They're only using 65nm for cost savings. Architecturally and performance wise it has to be the same with the current system or else the software written for the current system will probably go haywire on the new one.

Exactly, they can't make any changes to the performance specs because a console platform is supposed to have KNOWN performance capabilities, if you introduce multiple consoles with different performance specs it'll be like the PC world all over again.

For 1080P + High Detail : Xbox 360 v2 and above
For 1080P + Normal Detail : Xbox 360 v1

No no no, I ditched PC gamer to get away from all that!

true true. but since i lost my x360 i go back to pc gaming. have to upgrade around rm2000 to keep better frame rate. not worth it. that's why i love console gaming. there no such thing as minimum requirement. hehehe

Engadget writes that an Xbox insider has let them know of a new version of the Xbox 360 that will be released soon, complete with HDMI, 120GB hard drive and 65nm processor.

Here's what they say: Ever wonder why Microsoft hasn't released an HDMI cable for the Xbox 360, or whether the AV port was really capable of digital out? Well, here's your answer: we landed pictures of what appears to be the second Xbox 360 - the Xbox 360 v2, if you will - codenamed Zephyr. (The original Xbox 360, if you recall, was codenamed Xenon.) The long rumored about and awaited update to the console won't just feature a new, cooler 65nm processor, it's also finally added an HDMI port for full digital 1080p pleasure, as well as a 120GB drive, just what the doctor ordered. The 120GB drive may or may not come bundled with the kit, we don't yet know, just as we also don't yet know how much a Zephyr 360 is going to run (we imagine it'll go for the same price as currently so they can keep up a little on their expanding margin). But our very kind Xbox insider seemed happy to let us know we'd be able to get them "soon."

Could an announcement perhaps take place during the International Consumer Electronics Show next week ? We'll see..

cough

Just yesterday our inside source gave us a tip that Microsoft Australia has told a store named Myer to prepare the store for a Black 360 with a 120GB hard drive in April. Well day 2 of product knowledge today (Brisbane, Australia) featured Microsoft themselves and it's now 100% official that the Black 360, (with black controller), 120gb hard drive and HDMI is due out in Australia for $749 AU in April. They will try to push this forward to late March to deter buyers from the March 23 PS3 launch. Hopefully we see this good news sometime in Europe and USA. Should you take it as a grain of salt or not, whats your thoughts?

*Update: Apparently, our source claims that there are photos of this unit floating around. We will try to procure them.

Apparently, Microsoft Australia has informed a local retailer named Myer to get its store ready for a Black Xbox 360 with an HDMI port and 120 GB Hard Drive. The MSRP for the 2.0 360 is $749 AU (which translates into about $582 USD/ $690 CAD) and it is expected to be released in April, although Microsoft allegedly wants to push for late March to compete with the PS3's launch on the 23rd. Interesting news, but at the same time, don't believe everything you read.

A Black 360.. omg so nice! >_< but i got no money to replace hahaha

Zephyr, come to daddy. HDMI at last! Question is, which region launch first, or worldwide simultaneous?

Australia only....

PAL sad... but asia will be soon....

soon....usually "soon" means 6 months.

This time no 65nm... only got 120gb and hdmi...

last time me ask for 360 most of supplier told me no stock even sg set.... might be moving to new v2 oredi.. now sg might clearing old stock

the platinum 2 games.. seem making sense...

if u can wait a bit 2 months nothing to lose also...

well... some one can't wait for that..
actually it depends on individual lo...

the only difference is heat dissipation of 65nm is cooler than the previous one right? but based on the site, the direct conversion to OZ dollar is $749 which means around RM2000.

i agree with the clearing stock thingy. microsoft seems introducing bundle one after another but with the same price to increase sale and to get rid the older stocks. maybe they will launch it worldwide this april (if based on the website la....but as the website state, don't believe everything that you read).
