    I heard a rumor... Xbox 360 Ultimate

    by jyan posted: 1/2/2008 9:54:00 PM

    So is Bill Gates going to announce another Xbox 360 SKU? Stuff has their prediction of what it would have if it indeed becomes true. Do we need another 360 SKU? Probably not and I know Chuck's going to scream pretty loud if they do announce another one. I remember the days when it was just one version of the console that you can buy. Those were the days. Now we have to have multiple versions in various price ranges. The only one being Nintendo that doesn't partake in this silly practice. I would definitely love a 360 that was quiet and cool. One with a built in HD DVD? Probably not.

    Next-Gen contacted Microsoft (http://tinyurl.com/2p565z) who typically denied to comment. Next-Gen says it spoke with someone close to Microsoft that said it wasn't true and not in the cards...

    So (playing Devil's Advocate for a moment) would it really be such a bad thing to have multiple SKUs to choose from? It'd make the Xbox 360 lineup more like an automotive lineup.

    You could get the stripped-down Xbox 360. Or the 360LX. You could upgrade to the 360C or 360C SRT8 (I'm using Chrysler examples, but you see what I'm saying?) Someone could buy into as fancy a package as they can afford. And sure, it'll invite a little hater-ism from the people that can only pony-up the for the low-end model, but...

    ...Never mind. I think I just convinced myself of how bad of an idea another SKU will be.

    Consoles should always be one SKU and one SKU only. I would've been happier if they just made the drive interchangable on the 360 and left all the innards alone in the PS3 instead of having different functioning consoles. The only company that got it right was Nintendo. One choice and developers know it'll be the same for everyone.
