Engadget.com reports that the Black Xbox 360 that people have been speculating about is on its way sonner than we think with some amazing specs. It will be sold with the Premium and Core
bundles. Its model will be the Elite. It had a 120Gb Hard Drive, HDMI Output, and will run cooler than the original Xbox 360. It will cost $479. The HD DVD drive is not bundled or built in to the devidce however but I do not think that Microsoft had any plans to do so anyway. I think this would definetley up the market share in the future of the Xbox 360. The hard drive will also be available as an add on in the sub $200 range. This would definetley put the PS3 to shame because now the hardware is the same or better on the Xbox 360 and the PS3's
software is no better than the Xbox 360's. We will have to see how this plays out in the future.

Haven't you always wanted to put on your nifty electrode embedded helmet and start up a game of pong with one of your colleagues. Well soon you can! A company called g.tec has invented a prototype of this software/hardware that will allow you to do tasks on a computer. I would personally love to have one of these cause it'd just be so awesome to throw on a helmet and play some new exciting game like pong for endless hours. But unless your too lazy to move your fingers or your Stephen Hawking and are disabled by 
I have been really looking into these rumors about a possible black Xbox 360 lately because I am planning on getting a 360 soon and I want to know if I should wait for this new version. If the rumor is true, then the black version will have a 120GB hard drive, 65nm processor, an HDMI port, and will supposedly cost $584. From what I have read, it will be arriving in April. But, it is already March and with no mention of it at this weeks GDC in San Francisco, I am really having my doubts. Would it even be worth the money? Sure, a bigger hard drive would be nice, from what I've been told the 20GB drive is not big enough. But I have no use for HDMI and the 65nm processor will bee faster and cooler, but is it really necessary? As far as confirmation goes, there isn't much. Aside from a few pictures that could have easily been photoshopped. But the piture above is interesting. It is from an ad on Gamespot. I could not confirm that this ad exists because it is no longer running on Gamespot, but I have seen it on several reliable sites including Gizmodo and Endgadget. So keep your eyes open, but don't keep your hopes up.
AMD is working on bringing Xbox 360 quality Graphics to cell phones in the near future. This could possibly point to the dawn of the Xbox 360 portable (however Unlikely) or jsut more advanced Cell Phone Graphics. Developer kits have reportedly already gone out and cell phone compnaies are already working with them. It will incorporate OpenVG 1.0 and Open GL ES 2.0 along with the very nice Unified Shader Architecture that the Xbox 360 is using to make everything look so real in the games. Heopefully we start seeing this pop up more in cell phones. As time goes on the cell 0phone will become more of a media hub for people rather than just for calling people and emailing. Mobile TV and the increased bandwidth of cell phone networks are already sure signs of this. The cell phone market is being revamped as newer and better graphics processors get smaller and consume less power. Along with that the battery life of cell phones is just going to continue to increase with the dawn of new technology and better processors. The dawn of projectors that could be incorporated into cell phones is right around the corner as illustrated at many past consumer electronics shows. We'll have to wait and see how this unravells in the future.
