Hey remember, not too long ago, when you shelled out either $299-$399 of you're hard earned cash on an Xbox 360 recently or a year ago? Well guess how Microsoft is rewarding us loyal customers? By coming out with a new version of 360 that has a bigger hard drive, an hd-dvd player, an HDMI slot, and it is rumored to retail at $599, making your new shiny Xbox 360 obsolete. Well I don't know about the rest of you but I feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

So rumor has it, on the internet and retail stores around the country, that a new version of the Xbox 360, code named "Zephyr", will be re-launched and appearing in November to coincide with the release of Halo 3. Not only that, a friend of mine who works at Best Buy received a memo that the Core and Premium Xbox 360's that are currently out will drop by $100 each. I am outraged to say the least. So I spent $500 for a console and a game that will now be obsolete within the coming months just because Microsoft wants to have a d*** length contest with Sony? Thanks.

The new "Zephyr" is supposed to be black in color with a new 120GB hdd, hd-dvd player, and a new HDMI support for full 1080p hd. Why wasn't this available when the 360 launched a year ago? This is unfair! I bought the "premium" edition because I thought I was getting "more", but instead I bought a middle of the road console. Thanks Mr. Gates.

You know I wouldn't have a problem with it if M$ came out and said that we could trade in the consoles we have now, pay a small fee, and get it upgraded. You know, because WE made the 360 sell like hot cakes. WE were the ones who moved the bottom line for this company and this is how we are repaid!?!?

Is anybody else as mad as I am???
