Xbox 360 black edition

Author:

Microsoft is refreshing the Xbox 360 in order to improve the competitive position against PlayStation 3, which has received rave reviews around the press as the global launch is progressing. The new edition has a more stylish black finnish, rather than the old white which looks more like a bread toaster than a gaming console. The new version is HDMI enabled and comes with a mighty 120GB HD.

Game Informer has reignited the hype around Zephyr, the black HDMI-capable Xbox 360, with their April cover, which features the first “official” photo of the improved console.

Back in January, Engadget was the first to offer a hi-res picture of the new HDMI port of Xbox 360, indicating Microsoft’s intention to raise the bar in consoles’ war. PlayStation 3 is already equipped with an HDMI port.

Soon after that Playfuls.com posted Microsoft’s official response to those rumors, which watered down any enthusiasm from Xbox fans. According to Engadget, the new Xbox 360 was supposed to feature not only a HDMI port and a 120 GB hard drive, but also a new 65nm processor.
