Profit is the number one goal for all companies.

Yes but getting them and keeping them has got to be a close second goal.

True, as it's tied strongly to profits.

I was shopping today and in one of the stores they had a 360 Pro that was effectively a 360 premium with a HDMI port and they had them in stock. Pre-ordered my special edition Halo 3 360 pro today as well, quite pleased;

It's probably no help, but my mate bought a brand new 360 3 weeks ago, and it was made way back in October 2006. My old Core i bought back in March was newer than that.

My 15 yr old son has just bought a premium 360 and that was made October 2006. Where have they been for the last year ? I hope they are not refurbished units.

they want it to be a sucess at all costs, if it means slapping an extra £50 on the price of vista then so be it

MS prob think every household will need a 360 for access to iptv

I know its been said about 16494 times but can someone remind me if the HDMI premium guarentees the 65nm parts also?

Cannaton · 9 Sep 2007 at 00:51

'Liverpool 2' by the way.

Blinkz · 9 Sep 2007 at 01:22

They won't do it at all costs, they will keep it alive for 3 generations then see if it's worth continuing.

It'll still be hard to tell though unless you ask an employee because most places dont keep the actual 360 boxes on the shelves just display boxes.
