This isn't more of a question that it is a story. Ok guys, im sure you all know that Microsoft is revising the Xbox motherboards to add 65nm (no clue what this means) chips into the new Xbox 360's right? Supossedly they have a new heatsink that fixed teh Red Ring issue. Not only that, but the Premiums are getting HDMI outpts now, so all is well if you were planning to purchase and Xbox.

Ok, so my friend and I spent the ENTIRE day the day before yesterday tring to find the HDMI premium. Went to countless Circuit City's, Best Buys, Gamestops and whatnot, only to come up fruitless. It's what we did yesterday too -.-

personally I don't care bout the 360 and just wanted to go home. Well, what happens when I check on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Xbox-360-System-HDMI/dp/B000UQAUWW/ref=sr_11_1/002-8076622-2056846?ie=UTF8&qid=1186794101&sr=11-1

Boom. there it is. I ordered him one. He owes me money

Well at least it'll look nice on the awesome TV.

Sooner or lator, I want to pick up a 360, there are a tone of games I've played on it that I like. anyways Te new chip is supposed to be a new cpu, a more energy efficient one thats supposed to be less likely to overheat. with that said, I bet in a few weeks or months all the old 360 stock will be gone and the new ones will be about. So that will be my time to buy.

according to xboxscene the new HDMI 360s dont have the new motherboard or the 65mm whatevers in them, they have the same boared as the elite or something.

yeah thats true, lot 0728 or something will have them chips.

but he just wants hdmi without paying 450 bones.

If the new 360's did have the new chips and whatnot to prevent overheating and things like that, I would totally go up and beyond, sell my premium 360 and get an elite just for that.

I'm going to wait until I see 45nm CPUs in them. I don't want the hot box.

I did hear that the HDMI pros should have the heatsinks in them, but that is it. What gets me more is that microsoft seemed to stick to the user base again. At least when they announced the Elite they claimed it was for the video/audio buffs who wanted the best visual quality. OK fine. But now it's in the Pro units. Well when I get mine back from them it better have an HDMI on it.

im pretty sure they have the fixed heatsinks in the pricedrop models

willplayer · « **Reply #8 on:** August 15, 2007, 11:32:12 PM »

You think so Funk? I dunno ... I mean I'd think about getting one if I knew for sure.

Nidarrock · « **Reply #9 on:** August 16, 2007, 01:20:56 AM »

If you've held out on a 360 so far wait until the 65nm chips are in them. Which should be this fall.

k sounds good

liugeaux · « **Reply #11 on:** August 16, 2007, 11:01:40 AM »

I was relieved that I didn't buy the elite that I was planning on getting, all I wanted was the HDMI and now that its in the premium the Elite is pretty damn pointless. The bigger hard drive would be nice but its just not worth it.

willplayer · « **Reply #12 on:** August 16, 2007, 11:26:22 AM »

I agree.

I'd have to agree too. I was thinking about trading my old one, and "upgrading" in around December, but now... We'll I'm sure I can come up with a way to replace my pro with an HDMI version.

Well I've even considered just selling my 1 year old one for a newer one for the same price ... lol I know that sounds silly but if I do it right now I can save $50 on ebay. But I'd also like to get one with the whole heat sink thing ... even though my 360 hasn't given out on me yet, I'd like to go ahead and reassure myself of that!

This all started with the genesis

willplayer · « **Reply #16 on:** August 17, 2007, 12:27:38 AM »

You're actually right. There are like 3 versions of the Sega Genesis.

Donkeyboy · « **Reply #17 on:** August 17, 2007, 11:52:33 AM »

Considering you get an XB360 in black, HDMI and 120GB HDD space and STILL make out cheaper than a PS3, I'm all for it.

SolidMetal · « **Reply #18 on:** August 19, 2007, 07:26:07 AM »

it looks exactly the same to me...

xsonicx · « **Reply #19 on:** August 19, 2007, 05:29:49 PM »

And the newps3 has an even bigger hardrive
