thanks very much for telling us GEM... glad we ordered 10 pro 20gb at the weekend!!!!!!!

If you ordered at the weekend, they will not be shipping until Monday night. I am sure you would be allowed to cancel. This announcement seems to have taken everyone by surprise.

i agree xbox just seem to be trying anything to reinvent them selves, the 60 gig are not out, just called gem and they have not even been told,even when they do release it wont increase sales for us, people are not happy about all the accessories and the £40 online fee,plus 360 is a dvd player no HD player, only upscales to HD, your dvd cant play hd can it ? wii/ds is still selling the most

Lee, This site isn't for fanboy's mate. Please go away. REAL this, REAL that. Blah Blah Blah. Shut up.

Agreed. That's one time too many I'm afraid, Lee.

Lee your previous post got removed, I think that says enough about your "facts",

Good news, I have several friends who were ready to buy a 360, now they will wait a few days more !

I agree with the others Lee you need to vent your frustrations directly to Microsoft rather than this pointless ranting. First and foremost it is a news piece and while I appreciate that everyone is going to have different views or react differently this is not the place for fanboy Rants.
Sorry!

Just for the record we didn't order 10 20g 360's at the weekend, that was my collegues idea of 'wit'.

And Lee, if people aren't happy with 'all the accessories' etc.. in your store then you're obviously not doing a very good job and clearly don't believe in the product, which to my mind is bad business.

Point taken. Apologies to all.

now come on, im a retailer and even i can see that xbox are expensive for extras, i mean the hd prices are terrible,
i want all my products to sell, but the 360 has slowed down, and other platforms are selling alot more, what ever console you love, MS 360 has now been out 3 years, and its starting to show, i wish i was selling 100's of 360 consoles each week the truth is im not, wii fit and ds lites are the main sellers,with ps3 after this, but august isnt the month for games on any console is it.

how can we be expected to reply to comments that have been removed, what exactly was said ?? great use of freedom of speach mcv

how about the freedom of the content publisher to have control over what is posted to their website? Freedom of speech is all well and good, but this would turn into a fanboy flame fest if mcv didn't delete some of the worst comments...

Lets not bring this back up, its over now. I've applogised for being one sided on the console front. Im sorry again, its an ugly mess on your great (it really is) site MCV.

"360 has now been out 3 years, and its starting to show"

What a ridiculous statement, and one that doesn't reflect my business at all. No offense, but I'm rather happy that some of you lot don't work for me with such negative attitudes.

Again i have to agree, as a retailer i have also just found out about the new 60gb console and although a shock i glad, it may help boost what has been quite a slow start to the month. With the recent anouncement from Sony re the 80gb console EVERYONE is holding out for so 40's not selling.
I dont hold a lot of stock of 20 gigs atm again as is slow and whats thepoint.

So great news, the only people i feel for are the customers who have just purchased a 20gig console.
But these things have happened before and will happen again in retail, having been an indie now for over 15 years not much surprises me anymore.

Lets put another spin on this. How do people see this move affecting sales of the Elite console? Instead of getting 100gb of extra space, the difference is only £40 yet the price difference remains the same...

I'm not a fanboy, just an interested observer who thinks it would make more sense to work on improving the Elite offering at the same time as any other SKU. That way it shows they believe Elite (most valuable to retailers and Microsoft) is the best option for customers instead of de-valuing their product...NOW DEBATE..!!!

@ Boris. The difference is £60 between the pro and elite, the gig difference is 60gb and what about the hdmi lead, the optical dongle, the different colour etc? Would you still prefer everybody to still be playing Atari 2600's or pong on there Binatones on black and white TV's? Its called progress - its as cheap now (if not cheaper?) to source 60gb 2.5" drives as it is 20's so why bother to complain? Maybe you should be asking why the Elite doesn't come with a 180gb drive now?

THIS IS GR8 NEWS

Sony announced the 80gb out Aug 28th - about a month ago.

Microsoft announce a replacement Pro 4 days before launch!

Thanks for giving retailers time to sell the old stock.

I have a friend who just bought a 20gb pro a week ago, not gonna be happy. Wouldnt it be better to reduce the 20gb to replace the arcade?

I saw this comming as they been running the stock down for the last month - I think they'll prob change the elite next either with a bigger Hard drive or a price drop ?

We were told about the 60gb release over a week ago. Still have about 8 20gb sitting in the stockroom though, these better see a recall.

wats all this crap about fighting between 360s and ps3s.... there both good but for my 360 i really need a hard drive so i can get get xbox live i got a core package (stupid me) so i dont have a hard drive at the moment. i just wish microsoft would sell more hard drives ive been 2 eb games about 100 times to see if they have any hard drives!!!!!! so im not to impressed with microsoft at the moment but i vant wait till farcry 2 comes out!!!!!!!!

i have halo 3, gta iv, call of duty 4,saints row, ninja gaiden2,dragon ball z burst limit and rainbow six vegas 2.... i have all the best games but i cant play online!!!!!! and im only 11

soz i kept on pressing enter anter by accident

Is anyone aware of any future HD upgrades that you can purchase later?

Like will it be possible to upgrade the Hd to a 100GB anytime soon or are they keeping a limit because of their heating problems?

Also is it possible for PS3 to upgrade HD?

This console improves on nearly every problem the 20gb had. Less noise, a lot less noise, i had to check mine was still on . red rings and overheating have been cut down and supposedly it uses less energy then the 20Gb. It shows that microsoft are taking feedback and improving it.

guess wat i ordered a 60gb 360 console on lay by a couple days ago!!! as soon as i get it im getting xbox live...my gamertag-Clancy182

the 360 60gb is mint no matter wat any one ses mates and if you don't like it then you gotta deal wit me +world if not go **** ya self you ****
