Re: backlashI just bought a 360 about 2 weeks ago. So far, I'm happy and I don't care about the HDMI upgrade. A noise and heat reduction would be nice, but not entirely required. However, the one thing I would 'backlash' about is the 120GB drive. I already paid $400 for this "deluxe" 360 with the 20GB drive and I'll be highly resistant to spending another $100 (using the price of the current standalone drive upgrade) for a 120GB drive.Now, I would *like* the 120GB and if I had it, I *might* be inclined to try a movie or two here and there, which I'm not really excited about with my current 12GB (usable) setup, however, I won't be paying another $100 so I can basically watch pay-per-rent movies. MS would need to (and should) offer owners who have bought within the past 6 months (or something similar) a severe discount on upgrading to the new HD -- something in the range of not more than $50. It would be in their best interest to do this because without it, people like me just won't be spending the points on movies.
How can you say it's the only good game out there when it isn't even out? Halo 3 could blow chunks for all you know. That, and Dead Rising, Gears of War, and Viva Pinata are all awesome games.
This is the exact reason I never bought one @launch, I'll buy one of these for sure, and a new tv, and mine will use Ethernet like any good tech should. forget wifi.
I went to target yesterday, And on the side of the box of a premium where the contents are and it had HDMI then i looked on the other side of the box, and i saw on a label "Zephyr" ....So, does anyone know if the Zephyr have the 65nm chips in them or what? is this the v2 of the 360?Thanks.

This better have Wifi built in, because every other console does: Wii, PS3, DS, and PSP. Theres no excuse for not having it in the new 360
