Engadget are reporting that a new, funkier XBOX 360 is about to be announced featuring a HDMI port for full 1080p digital goodness and a large 120GB hard drive.

Currently just a rumor with the typical dark and grainy image to back it up, it could all be nothing but a fake. Let alone the odds of Microsoft annoying so many previous customers so early in a consoles lifespan... but if Nintendo can get away with re-designing already launched consoles, why shouldn't Microsoft?



Ever wonder why Microsoft hasn't released an HDMI cable for the Xbox 360, or whether the AV port was really capable of digital out? Well, here's your answer: we landed pictures of what appears to be the second Xbox 360 -- the Xbox 360 v2, if you will -- codenamed Zephyr. (The original Xbox 360, if you recall, was codenamed Xenon.) The long rumored about and awaited update to the console won't just feature a new, cooler 65nm processor, it's also finally added an HDMI port for full digital 1080p pleasure, as well as a 120GB drive, just what the doctor ordered.
