60GB Xbox heading to UK on 15 August
Microsoft’s new 60GB Xbox 360, first given official backing before gaming powwow E3, has at last got a release date here in the UK.
From 15 August (that’s this Friday), punters with a craving for more Video Marketplace flicks and Xbox Live Arcade games will be able to snag one of the new machines for a mere £199.
The Big M has also confirmed it will replace the trusty old 20GB edition, showing they certainly mean business when it comes to downloadable content on their next–gen console.
Don’t expect that price to stay around the £200 mark either. Once the big etailers get hold of it, it’s sure to drop before Christmas.
So, what do you think this means for the next bout of the console wars? Should Sony be scared? And how about Nintendo? Let us know in the comments section.

The Xbox is a good console and I don't think anyone should be afraid. Nintendo are going from strength to strength and Playstation are undergoing major software upgrades to compete...but I still think the 360 is a crap console and the only thing going for it is the games...I mean..all the 2nd hand stores in my city have minimum 10 xbox consoles each which shows the others are still winning and people just dont like them ..they should have given it a new look as well as the beefed up memory...

Hi Max
Yes, it does come with HDMI. That's now a standard feature on every new Xbox, right up from the 256MB Arcade.
Cheers

Apart from the HDD, what else has changed internally?
