Ever wonder why Microsoft hasn' t released an HDMI cable for the Xbox 360, or whether the AV port was really capable of digital out? Well, here' s your answer: we landed pictures of what appears to be the second Xbox 360 -- the Xbox 360 v2, if you will -- codenamed Zephyr. (The original Xbox 360, if you recall, was codenamed Xenon.) The long rumored about and awaited update to the console won' t just feature a new, cooler 65nm processor, it' s also finally added an HDMI port for full digital 1080p pleasure, as well as a 120GB drive, just what the doctor ordered. The 120GB drive may or may not come bundled with the kit, we don' t yet know, just as we also don' t yet know how much a Zephyr 360 is going to run (we imagine it' ll go for the same price as currently so they can keep up a little on their expanding margin). But our very kind Xbox insider seemed happy to let us know we' d be able to get them " soon."
