Bigger Hard drive....and wait, are you ready....HDMI! I know it's just a connection but I get far better image quality using HDMI than any other connection with my LCD TV...I was waiting for this, now I might just have to get one!!

damn, I saw a bigger harddrive coming, that doesn't suprise me, i'll have to pick the hard drive up. But the HDMI damn, luckily i don't have a tv to take advantage of that, but man bringing out another 360 option that you can't add on to the original sucks.

Supposedly (in terms of quality) you won't be able to see the difference between HDMI and component cables, especialy since the games only render in 720p. It was more of a way to consolidate the number of cables.

Yep, still just a rumor. But I wouldn't doubt a facelift like that. It will not make a bunch of 360 owners run out and buy it, especially if the HD fits on the old 360. Microsoft want to stay competitive so why not? I want to know if it will be quieter!

I think the biggest difference you'll see with the HDMI is if you get the HD DVD add on, rumor has it that it's going to be 1080i/p compatible...I've seen it on a few sites including Cnet which generally has pretty good information.

The 360 will do 1080p right now via component (though my Sony XBR2 40" will only do 1080i over component) and VGA.

I own a 360 and I love it, but an HDMI port would be nice, if only because my TV has 3(!) HDMI ports.

What we know right now is there is a picture of a 360 with a HDMI port and a claim of a 120GB HDD. The rest is rumor and speculation.
