120GiG Black Xbox360 With HDMI Official!?

www.gamersreports.com reports that Microsoft Australia has told a store named Myer to prepare the store for a Black 360 with a 120GB hard drive in April. The black Xbox 360 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.

I'll buy it, but wondering if it will have a HD DVD Drive built in it, then for sure............

Rooted_Dust6282d ago

$749? Is that more or less than PS3 is selling for in that country? I don't see how they intend to draw people away by introducing a more expensive console. Also if Microsoft is introducing a better version they should sponsor some sort of trade in deal for early adopters who will now own obsolete hardware.

PS360PCROCKS6282d ago

its about $555 dollars so in between both PS3's but this is a good deal if it does include a HD-DVD drive and that big of a HDD

Dusk6282d ago

....this is just a rumor until MS actually officially announces something. Secondly, current 360s can output digital. An adapted HDMI cable is possible, so nothing becomes obsolete as current 360s can be upgraded if MS choses to do so. Finally, seeing as nothing is official and you don't even know the Australian PS3 price, how can you possibly know that MS is introducing a more expensive console.

Boink6282d ago

the ps3 will be just under 1000$ in autralia.

MikeGdaGod6282d ago

Everybody keeps doggin the ps3 but what about MS. They keep coming out with new 360s every year almost. This only justifes my ps3 purchase because its obvious MS is trying to keep up with Sony. At least Sony put everything in the ps3 from the beginning whether you need it or not. I thought MS said HDMI wasn't important, now they'll have it. What do all you ps3 bashers have to say now that MS is going to slight their 10 million fanbase with a new system? Now its another $400(maybe more)..plus what ever new add-ons they'll have.(you know they're coming) It has to sting just a little...No?

Tempo6282d ago

have u ever heard the word "rumour", it hasn't even been confirmed by MS (u know the company that owns the 360 and rights to it)and you respond in the affrimative. If you have some exclusive info none of us have plz feel free to share (links to proof as well thank you).

MikeGdaGod6282d ago

no i don't have any info but i do know MS. they do the same things with their OS and almost anything else they come out with. i'm kinda in-between on how i feel because it sonds cool but i already have a 360 so it feels like i'm gonna get shafted. i imagine people that bought the first xbox felt the same when the 360 came out so soon. i think its coming, to me the only rumor is when it will come out.

deepio6282d ago

Why would it sting, the only thing I need out of that lot is a bigger hard drive which I'm sure they'd release as an add-on anyway. 720p through VGA is fine for my TV so no need for the HDMI and who cares if it's quieter or black, none of that bothers me.

Sure I might have a slightly inferior edition of a console but to have played the games I have done since the 360 was launched makes it worth it.

USMChardcharger6282d ago

you say the M$ keeps coming out with a new 360 every year.? when have they come out with a new 360...and how many years do think the 360 has been out?

DrRage776282d ago

your comment is absurd "i imagine people that bought the first xbox felt the same when the 360 came out so soon"

um, do you realize that the original xbox came out in November 2001, and that the xbox360 came out in November 2005? Why in the world would anyone feel slighted when an updated console comes out 4 years after the first one?

i have a question for you...you say that there are new 360's every year (completely not true since we are still on version 1), yet Sony did what you are claiming with the ps2...do you remember that they released the slimmer ps2, and then another one after that? looks like your argument actually proves you don't know anything...case closed lol

MikeGdaGod6281d ago

if you're going to follow everything i said word for word then let me explain a bit. no MS doesn't come out with a new system EVERY year, but they're already on their second version and now this might be coming out.(i dont know what changes were made to the first version, maybe something to make it stop catchin fire or breakin)...i say this because i'm on my third 360 already, thank god for that extended warranty
as for the first xbox, yeah the 360 came out four years later BUT MS dropped ALL support for the original. you can't even buy a xbox game from most places now. THAT SUCKS
now just imagine if the rumor is true and there's more to it like a HD player built-in, that would show that most of the things MS said about the ps3 and all its unnecessary features was bull.
i hope this is just a rumor, but if not i think it would really show that MS just wanted to get their next-gen system out before Sony.

current 360 models only output in Analog, which is why it doesn't support DVI or HDMI. It's the reason that Microsoft has been experimenting with HDMI output in the first place. If it was truly possible with their current output, they wouldn't bother making a brand new console.

What confuses a lot of people is that Microsoft refers to their AV port as the 'Digital Output'. That, and some people don't know that VGA is an analog feed, not digital feed.

"An adapted HDMI cable is possible, so nothing becomes obsolete as current 360s can be upgraded if MS choses to do so." The console's been on the market for nearly 15 months. Do you really believe that they simply chose not to sell DVI/HDMI cables for their console when nearly every HDTV supports it? Personally, I wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft releases this 3rd SKU, which blatantly shares a lot of aspects of the Playstation 3. Large hard drive capacity, HDMI output, built-in HD Movie drive (though not for games...yet), sleek black color.

The question is whether Microsoft feels cornered enough to risk releasing it. If they go through with it the whole thing could backfire and the media would have a field day.

shotty6282d ago

So your quoting yourself now.....interesting

THAMMER16282d ago

It is retarded. Nothing else...just...retarded. LOL PS3DO

gogators6281d ago

would Microsoft in it's current position feel cornered in anyway. They currently are in a good position for this generation. The 360 has plenty of games, all it needs is a price drop for more mass market friendliness. That picture looks like the 360 used by developers.

GaMr-6282d ago

IF True: I think this is another big F%^$& our fans from Microsoft !
IF False: Then for god sakes atleast drop the 120GB HDD !

Ranking the Devil May Cry Series

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."

First to last for me...3,4,5,1,2.

VersusDMC17h ago

Me leaving it out should be telling of my thoughts on it. Better than 2 as a DMC game.

Still a good game though.

Exvalos13m ago

What a weird name, it's essentially devil may cry, devil may cry lol

Friendlygamer18h ago

3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them

monkey60218h ago(Edited 17h ago)

2.
Dmc.
4.

1.

God DMC2 was an awful game.
And in case this isn't obvious it goes worst to best

Yui_Suzumiya16h ago

1 and DmC. The rest are unimportant.

DarXyde16h ago

Order changes depending on your focus. I tend to focus on gameplay/fun factor, so...

5, 3, 1, 4, 2.

I really didn't like 4 but commend Dante's weapon diversity. The retreading of old ground was pretty unacceptable to me.

But even then... Still more enjoyable than 2 for me

SeTTriP7h ago

This right here is my order as I thought DMC 5 was amazing and obviously 3 comes after 4 was great and 1 for the nastilgic value it holds 2 was so terrible that my local GameStop gave full refunds to people who returned it.

Used to love this one, but X-Men Legends 1 and 2 will always be my favorites, especially Rise of Apocalypse. Would pay some good money to play it today with online multiplayer, back then I had no way to get a modem

RavenWolfx15h ago

Yeah, I loved the Legends games so much.

ZeekQuattro23h ago

I remember buying them dirt cheap on the PS4 and then a few days later I read they were delisted. I was wondering why the bundle was price so low and got my answer when that happened.

Knightofelemia21h ago(Edited 21h ago)

Sad to say this is one game franchise next to the Xmen that needs a sequel. I use to play the hell out of Xmen Legends and Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Was great when my cousin had the OG Xbox play with four other people and then playing online. Great games glad to see it reappear even though I own the discs love the mechanics of this game.

Terry_B21h ago

It got a sequel..but for dumbass #reasons as a switch exclusive.

shinoff218321h ago

It looked so horrible to. They should've kept it similar to the first two.

Asplundh20h ago

Because Nintendo funded it, they did the same for Bayonetta.

Knightofelemia20h ago

I totally forgot about the Switch sequel.

jukins21h ago

Misleading. This page is whats available for people who owned the game prior to delisting.

Abnor_Mal20h ago

The first game was the best imo.
