Black Xbox 360 could soon be on its way with improved features
Rumors of a hardware refresh for the Xbox 360 began earlier this year, when photos of a prototype console with HDMI output and a revised scaling chip appeared on the Web. Coupled with multiple hints of a larger hard disk drive, it seemed inevitable that Microsoft would release an upgraded version of its Xbox 360 sooner or later.
The April issue of Game Informer, by way of Kotaku, adds further backing to such speculation with an image of a black Xbox 360 said to include a 120GB HDD, matching black accessories, HDMI output and HDMI cable for approximately $479.
While some gaming magazines have been known to play rather cruel April Fool’s jokes on its readers, Matt Helgeson, senior editor at Game Informer, reportedly confirmed that the story is not a prank.
Also mentioned on the story is that owners of existing Xbox 360s may purchase the larger hard disk drive separately for “under $200.”
