the HDMI is only beneficial if you hv a full HD tv i.e. 1080p and it's only apparent to naked eyes if you hv a 40" tv or bigger. How many of us hv a 40" or larger Full HD tv anyway...even those guys in UK are mostly using 32" LCD tv (32" LCD tv is the highest selling tv size sold there according to What HiFi Home Cinema mag)..

besides xbox360 is capable of 1080p output now using the VGA input so for us "so called" early adopters there's not much to worry if MS announce for real that they are releasing this 360 Zephyr...

As for the 120GB hard disk...it's good to have but i'm sure if we need it MS will sell it as an add-on later...as for me i dont think it's a necessity cos the movie dload service is not available in Spore let alone us in Msia...Msia is not even in the list of Xbox Live country....might as well just stream ur movies thru our 360....that's my 2 cents though...some of u might think otherwise...

nway we're open to hv our own opinion but if MS do release the new version it's better for us consumers cos we hv more options...frankly i think if MS do come out with the Zephyr it's just to compete with PS3 so that 360 wont look weaker on paper....in the meantime let us enjoy our marvellous 360 in the year 2007!!
