Rumor De Jeur

There is lots of debate going on online, on the merits (or harm) of updating the Xbox 360 hardware in the future. To be very clear, we haven?t announced anything, and our official position is to reiterate our standard policy of not commenting on rumors or speculation.

But this is a blog, and it?d be a little disingenuous of us to ignore it completely (and in fact, it?d be disingenuous to use a word like ?disingenuous?). While we?re really not in a position to shed any light (or darkness) on the Engadget story for a number of reasons, I?ll remind everyone of what we have said publicly:

- We have no plans to include an HD DVD drive in an Xbox 360, and in fact, we won?t put games on HD DVD.

- The Xbox 360 is built to be modular, and while we haven?t announced anything specific, the hard drive on the Xbox 360 was made to be easily swapped out.

- We have made no announcements about a new SKU, any new accessories, or any plans for a price drop.

Finally, while it?s true that leaks ?happen,? much of what gets reported as leaks ends up being untrue, so take everything that?s not confirmed with a grain of salt. I find it hard to believe that a ?Microsoft Insider? would chance leaking anything significant, since our legal and security teams make a serious effort to fully investigate leaks, and any short-term notoriety would only lead to being unemployed or even prosecuted. Then again, people do some strange things for their 15 minutes of fame, just look at the popularity of reality TV?

FWIW, we always keep an eye on gaming sites, blogs and forums, and we?re hearing your feedback (good, bad, or otherwise). So feel free to continue to offer your comments, because we?re listening--even if it turns out that everything you?re commenting on Source:y is completely false.

Haha I like that line.

Too bad the HDD's on the PS3 are way easier to obtain and swap... I wish the 360 was like that instead of Microsoft earning so much money for laptop HDD's trapped in a "special" plastic case.:(:(

They are?

They can't be THAT much easier then the XBOX 360's, surely?

And, even if you can replace the PS3 HDD with ANY other HDD, there is the X360 HDD mod, which while is not official, it is still certainly effective.

[_sphinx_]

Did anyone here take a friggin French 101 course?

WTF is "de jeur"?

****ing bloggers....

[Dr.Jones]

wtf is rumor de jeur ?

Some lame attempt at speaking french ? (Rumeur du jour)

[Avalanche]

What's a "Rumor de Jeur" anyway?

Edit: Dr.jones beat me. An online translator would have make it even better.

[planetik]

:p It's supposed to mean "Rumour of the day", but I guess the bloggers don't speak French do they.

aye that's one thing sony got 100% right. The power to be able to stick in whatever size HD you want. I can add a USB drive to my 360 if I want but I can use it for much.

Granted tho the PS3 takes 3.5ins drives and the 360 takes 2.5 drives which are much more expensive

IIRC the PS3 does use 2.5" drives

[FreqFace]

Yeah I had loads of trouble taking out the Xbox 360 HD, I mean, it's like a button.. or something... how the hell do you do it?!

[Litespeed]

:p It's supposed to mean "Rumour of the day", but I guess the bloggers don't speak French do they.

Then they shouldn't use it.

[FreqFace]

Then they shouldn't use it.

Oui.

hehehe... no worries mate! :happy:

I'm used to people bitching at me on a daily basis because of MS and I know you were joking... :)

:hug:

They worded that blog post very carefully. Notice how they said that they have not announced any new 360 SKUs or hardware upgrades. Usually they say something along the lines of "We currently have no plans to release new SKUs." I guess we'll see what kind of surprise announcements come at tonight's CES keynote.

[planetik]

Ahaha :p I know what you mean. But it's better than the HDD falling off the console while you're playing a game isn't it? :)

[Lexcyn]

je ne parle pas fran?ais :laugh:: :rofl:: :pp

J'aussi.:DD

[Spartan_X]

J'aussi. :D

je suis d?sol?..:p:p

[Lexcyn]

je suis d?sol?..:p:p

Haha;);)

In any case, I guess we won't know until there is an official announcement. Why not just wait? I'm happy playing my 360 the way it is right now ... even if they did come out with an 'upgraded' version with an HDMI port, I don't think it would be worth it for me. Then again, that's personal preference.

[FreqFace]

Je ne peux pas parler le fran?ais, donc je ne ferai pas si.

EDIT: oh what the hell, damn, Spartan already did that.

[oubipaws]

CES is going on right now, maybe that can stop all the rumors and let us nerds really know :)

Unfortunately, no word on any of this at the keynote speeches. Maybe the new SKU (if real) isn't planned for release until much further down the line? Ah, who knows.
