    Eh, oldest joke in the book. Digg me down.

      Not old... Just plain stupid...

      Anyway, it is good to see that the Australian gaming market is the first to get something for once!
    • joeshlub, on 10/12/2007, -3/+9Just to get this near the top:
      This is old and innacurate. The black xbox 360 rumor has been around for almost a year, and this source hardly seems reliable.

      Just a new spin on an old myth.

      Here's an article about it from July '05 just to demonstrate:
      http://www.xb360info.com/xbox/console/142

      buried as inaccurate.
    • SeBBBe, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2How much does the premium cost there? I wanna know how much this one will cost compared to it..
    • Icecream, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1We Actually don't get the wi-fi Head set with out Premium either,that costs $49.99 AUD to buy

      I don't know anyone at all that is hanging out for a PS3 most people I know are PC gamers or are PC gamers and have a Wii that they don't use anymore.
    • alteratti, on 10/12/2007, -9/+3In Soviet Russia, Xboxes make you black.
    • shtonkalot, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1We don't get the headset but we do get a remote.
      The RRP is AU $699 but you can get them for down to $600.

      I hope there is more to this than rumor, I want to get a 360 around that time.
    • Krymore, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Great, the Fox News style question mark of truth.
      Scientists Confirm Aliens About to Invade?

      This Just In: World Actually Flat?
  • truegodofwar, on 10/12/2007, -8/+2Can these be hacked to play "backed-up" games?
  • chris9902, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2some guy I know who knew this guy who worked for this guy who bought a chimp from some guy who said he knew some guy who worked... blah blah blah

    without a REAL source it's *****.
    • idigital, on 10/12/2007, -6/+2Uh, well the article does say they got the confirmation from Microsoft that it's 100% official. It's just not a very well written article. You're still a dumbass.
    • Misanthrope, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3Well, I got a confirmation from Microsoft that this isn't true. Now...who to believe???
  • Alphateam, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3Sweet I've been waiting to buy one. Thanks Microsoft.
    • StateofMind09, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1So they make a new, better machine a year and a half after the 360 and you thank them? I'd be a little disappointed in the life of the first console. Plus, didn't they say that HDMI was useless anyway?
  • mickhead, on 10/12/2007, -5/+3Don't need hdmi.
    Have trouble filling the 20gb hdd.
    Cheap case replacement makes for black 360.

    Therefore I don't need one.

    That said, they should've launched it in black anyway, it does look much better.
  • XGothamX, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0this is not real sorry guys that pic is a Dev box from 2005 this same pic has been floating around sense befor 360 was even out also MS did an interview saying they have no plans on making a 120GB hard drive for the 360 i will look for that interview to post a link
  • inurb, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Can't wait til it hits the states!
    • Gillhooley, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0It won't This story IS NOT ACCURATE!
  • CAvenger, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6Crikey!
    • joeydoo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Your comment is only one which has more +'s than... 1.

  • thushan, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2swoit moit... bloody ripper, bloody unreal!
    • Rooster99, on 10/12/2007, -4/+3You're a ......bloody idiot!! Have you ever spoken to an aussie or is this a result of a few Crocodile Dundee movies?
    • idigital, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1@rooster99: Actually I'm pretty sure only an aussie would know those phrases, especially the attempt to pronounce sweet mate. So calm down yeah? The guy that commented "Crikey!" on the other hand...
    • thisisbs, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Is it still to early for a Steve Irwin joke?
    • thushan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1@Rooster99
      As an Australian citizen I guess I'm allowed to make fun of our own culture am I not?

      The "Bloody Ripper... Bloody Unreal" is from the old "Four-n-Twenty" meat pie ads, and swoit moit (== sweet mate) in bogan'ish speak... (I think thats from Poider)
    • Rooster99, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Yes its too early!! Its been nowhere NEAR 22.3 years!
      and yeah I got a bit carried away with the 1st guy, but I cant stand the stereotype that sounds like he's retarded, chewing on a brick and suffering a stroke all at once!

      edit: Didnt realize that you were a fellow countryman. I thought you were just another stereotype-touting pain in the ass. On that note, I retract my previous statement and offer an apology.
  • RandallBe, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1No I rather have some tie me up and leave me in Antarctica then get a xbox360 of any kind.
    • Rooster99, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1It can be arranged..........
    • grumbel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Better take the XBox360 with you, it at least will keep you warm...
  • everynewday, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0For the kids from the United States, $749 AUD is about $580 USD. So an $80 premium gets you a 120Gig hard drive and HDMI output. And a spiffy new color. Wouldn't be suprised if they bump the price to $599 USD for the United States launch, though
  • flair1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1With HDMI will the 360 upconvert movies to 780p or 1080i? I don't think the PS3 will do that yet.
    • Topher06, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0The PS3 does upconvert. Not a Sony fanboy by any means, but a friend comfirmed this while I muse getting one.
  • rasputinaxp, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I got confirmation on this from the squirrels in the park.

    They know EVERYTHING, you know. MMmmmm-hmm.
  • Topher06, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Austrailia is like Canada, only about 30 - 40 million people, so I don't understand why Microsoft would release them to such a limited market, except to use a guinea pigs. Either that, or there maybe there were enough consumer complaints by Aussies that are forcing Microsoft to respond first there, then globally. Maybe b*tching does pay off.
    • flosty, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0You're a slightly wrong there... while Australia is like Canada in a few ways (we're cool), we only have just over 20 million people in our fine country. And perhaps Microsoft is using us as guinea pigs, maybe they just like us more than America. Couldn't blame them.
