Two Versions of XBox360 Confirmed?

Posted by Zonk on from the twice-the-flavour dept.

63N1U5 writes "Sources close to Microsoft tell GamesIndustry.biz that the company plans to ship two versions of the new XBox console. The premium version of the console will include a hard drive, and could possibly ship with a version of Microsoft's WebTV installed." We've been reporting on this since the end of last year but it's nice to have some firmer details.

    Adding WebTV as a premium feature is like selling a computer with a free month of AOL.

    "Two Versions of Xbox360 More Confirmed"

    ROXOR739A writes, "My cousin and I played a 3 round session of Rock, Paper, Scissors this morning. He represented two versions of the Xbox360, and I represented one version. He won 2 out of 3. I think this mostly confirms two versions of hardware, and it's nice to have this confirmation. When asked to elaborate Microsoft gave their standard reply, 'We do not comment on rumors or arbitrary games of Rock, Paper, and Scissors.'"

    I propose: XBox360 and XBox 360 MEE (More Expensive Edition).
