Be warned, this is merely speculation of the ‘my friend told his friend whos second cousin, once-removed, works for Gamestop that…..’ - you get it.
According to this rumour/fervent prayer, a Gamestop US employee has come across a new SKU (Stock Keeping Unit) on its system which refers to an Xbox with a HD DVD drive on the inside. That would be great, no doubt. There is a weird logic to it, of course – like all good rumours.
With all Xbox 360 Premiums getting a HDMI port the Elite version, with the black paint job and the 120GB HDD could sit in the middle with room for a super-duper, uber-Xbox on the top. What about the entry-level Core system? Well, if true, the 360 Premium becomes the entry level box, the Elite becomes the Premium and the one with in-built HD DVD drive becomes the top dog.
Of course, it will not be called the Ultimate – that’s just for the purpose of this story/rumour. Get the salt out big time on this one.-Martin Lynch

I heard a rumor that it comes with its own candy dispenser and, even better, the Snickers are only 30p!!
yey! finally figured out what SKU stands for....no one mention wikipedia , dammit why didnt i think of that first..
ach well
would be cool althought microsoft have stated that they hope to continue support of both disc formats till a winner emerges and the war is far from over atm. just a thought
Do they really need all these levels of ninja-ness for their consoles? Just make one and make it bloody good goddammit!
Give me an Xbox 360, decent-capacity HD on top as standard or larger as an accessory, smaller die chipset, extra heatsink and a single slot DVD drive that will run HD-DVD. Thankyouplease.
I'd buy one.
I'm wanting a HD-DVD player and there's a couple of 360 titles i'd like to play.
bullcrap, eb games guys are idiots
yeah or you could just by a ps3 that has it all built in the consol in the first place, just an idea tho.
HD-DVD drive, 320GB HD, all the other PS3 accessories and voila...
$900 price tag. Wazing! Any less and Microsoft will be losing money. Poor.
COMPLETE BULL
