Damn, that's not cool.

[:Exige:]

So lets put this in car terms. Aston Martin brought out the Vanquish, and then not all that long after, introduced the Vanquish S and priced it similarly. But wait ... they aren't allowed to do that because it's "not fair". Or not

Did Xbox owners really think MS would not take advantage of being based on computer components and bring in improvements durign it's lifetime ?
This is good news as it means it's not a major new console change with the resultant wait for decent games of 'other' solutions
EDIT: Exige put it better !!!!!!

Shut up you two.

Here's the difference.
The Vanquish came out in 2003.
The Vanquish S came out in 2005.

There was basically 3 years difference, not 1.

You can't keep up with technology. Tough luck man.

The car is worth about over 50,000 times more than the console. Proportionatley Microsoft should've released the updated console around about 1983

But really, it's called upgrading to keep up with the user needs. Everyone complains it doesn't have HDMI, and then when Microsoft makes a new version with HDMI to satisfy these people, everyone complains because it HAS got HDMI.

I doubt it. Not only is he not head hauncho anymore, his pants are suitably padded with a mixture of money and a very good conscience....

I'm not complaining becuase it has hdmi, hdmi is awesome. Im just frustrated that they would go on and on denying hdmi possibilities, and then all of the sudden they change their minds after thousands of hardcore gamers have already purchased v.1 360.

Whatever, i dont really care that much. hdmi and component look extremely similar.

[Quiggs]

Component = no digital sound = weaksauce.

Does the 360 have a digital audio output on it?

[2ndclasscitizen]

Well the XBox did so I don't see why the 360 wouldn't.
