The black 360 is coming


Recommended Posts

I just hope they don't charge an inflated price for it like Apple does on the black Macbooks cause I'm really tempted to get one.

Initially it'll be roughly $80 USD more than the Premium ($480) and then it will eventually take place of the Premium and be $400. At that point, the Core will be phased out and the current Premium will drop to $300, and this newer edition will be $400. IINM.

I swear! Some of you act like tards! OMFG MS is putting out a different 360. That's not fair I just got mine 3 motnhs ago. Blah Blah! What do you want? You want it to hop and sing yankey doodle dandy and tell you the meaning of life? be happy that Ms is actually taking the time to improve the 360. I for one am totally stoked about this and the upcoming releases.

The one thing that's a problem is the HDMI, if older systems get a HDMI cable also, then there is no problem. The bigger HDD can be added later also, though price is the problem with that. So right now, if you have a 360, and want HDMI really bad, this would be the only real need to get a new one, unless MS does offer older 360s an HDMI option.

Just have to wait and see.

How will data be transferred to the new HDD, I know things can be redownloaded and gametags recovered etc. but there must be a simple way to do it surely when the new HDD is released, i don't own a HDD so I don't really care, just wondering.

There is a rumor that there will be a data cable provided with the new hard drive that will allow users to easily transfer their files from the old HDD to the new one.

Rumors are just that, Rumors. I wont believe anything until its officially announced by MS themselves or some videos are posted on a site like gametrailers.com from an event confirming everything is true, sorry guys. I mean dont get me wrong i would love to see the Elite actually come, personally for the extra 100gb of space, but i wont believe it till its confirmed by MS.

Except Sony owns Blu-Ray. They wouldn't allow that.

Sony can't stop MS adopting Blu-Ray, did they [sony] invent Blu-Ray? yes, but does that mean they [sony] get to decide who can support it? no. Also Microsoft haven't dismissed supporting Blu-Ray either, Xbox 360 May Support Blu-Ray "One Day"

even if sony could stop MS releasing a blu-ray add on for the 360, I don't think sony would stop MS. Simply because more blu-ray players = more revenue for sony.

    • I like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.
    • I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣
    • Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.
    • This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
