Canada Gets $100 Xbox 360 Price Cut
MS brings good news to our cash-strapped neighbors to the north.

On the heels of its price-slashing, everything-must-go announcements in the United States on Monday, Microsoft announced today that it will cut the price of its Xbox 360 by $100 CDN starting Wednesday.

Timed to coincide with the release of Madden NFL 08 on Aug. 14, the price drop applies to all models: the stripped-down Core, the flagship Xbox 360 model (formerly called the Premium) and the black-clad Elite.

Respectively, those consoles will now cost $299, $399 and $499 CDN.

For those Canadians who yawn at football and won't be swayed by Madden's release, Electronic Arts will likely snare them next month - NHL 08 is set for a Sept. 11 release.

Hopefully you guys in Europe will get one soon.
 
Still not buying an xbox 360 until the Falcon chipset is released around Sept.
Not buying a PS3 until some games are available for it and where not talking about Everybodys Golf lol. Talk about desperate for games
 
Rumor: All Xbox 360 models will include HDMI

Though Ars Technica is quick to label this a rumor, what they heard from an "inside source" sounds awfully similar to what Engadget's otherwise reliable tipster told them last March, though a bit more specific. Ars says, "a new version of the Core and Premium [Xbox 360] hardware in late August or September ... will include an HDMI port." Microsoft has never said that the Elite would be alone in having an HDMI port – in fact, the Halo 3-themed Xbox 360 will come packed with an HDMI port this September though, notably, no HDMI cable.

Of course, it's presumed that this hardware revision would also include the 65nm chips we've all been waiting for, as well as quieter DVD drives (quieter than the BenQ VAD6038?). But how will prospective purchasers discern which retail box includes the new hardware? There will apparently be a small "call out" on the packaging so savvy buyers can take their pick and casual shoppers can drain the existing inventory. C'est la vie.
 
will it get boring after a while though? it looks fun but something that will get boring after an hour.

do not download vampire rain as it is garbage.
 
If you like Stranglehold, try and watch the film first (Hard Boiled - the game is the sequel to that). Great film, really enjoyed it.

Haven't tried the demo yet but I hope it's good because I've been looking forward to the game for months.

EDIT: I love it. Doesn't disappoint.

HDMI Premium Xbox 360 caught on camera
x360-hdmi.jpg

Update: Shack is reporting that Microsoft has confirmed the inclusion of HDMI in Xbox 360 consoles (sorry, no Core model for now) stating, "Retailers are gradually introducing HDMI-enabled Xbox 360s into the channel to meet demand." Still no word on whether these systems use the new 65nm processors (is the power supply different?) Any retail employees able to survey the outside of one of the new Xbox 360 boxes and share tips on spotting them with the class?

Following renewed grumblings of a quiet initiative to install HDMI ports into all Xbox 360 SKUs, comes a convincing set of images that appears to show an HDMI-equipped Premium unit, manufactured on July 4th. The images allegedly originate from a Shacknews community member who purchased the console today at a Target in Atlanta, Georgia for the newly discounted price. Hey dude, mind crackin' it open and checking for the 65nm chipset?
 
Anyone else noticed that, since the dashboard update, when you switch the 360 on it doesn't display what disc is in the drive (just says "Open Tray") unless you open it and close it again?

Yes, same thing here
 
Thank God for that, I thought it had gone wonky for a minute. Well, it has gone wonky, I have to take the disc out and put it back in again before I can play a game, but at least I'm not the only one...
 
Yeah it happend to me aswell today. Thought the update had f#$ked something up. But a quick open/close and it was fine. Maybe its to do with your settings. I know ive got it set to not load the game on start up. Maybe thats the cause of it......cant test it though as im at the gf for the weekend.
