Xbox 360 Release Date, Xbox 360 Two Verisons Can't Post

News has arrived that two version of the Xbox 360 will emerge, one entry-level base package along with a more expensive premium package.

The premium edition Xbox 360 will sell at $399.99 and include a wireless controller, a 20-gigabyte detachable hard drive, an Xbox Live Silver membership and headset, a universal remote, and a component HD-AV cable. In contrast, the more affordable Xbox 360 Core System will sell for $299.99, but will only include the console, a wired controller, and standard AV cable. Both packages will come Xbox Live-ready, but even the "premium edition" owners will have to upgrade to Xbox Live Gold membership to play multiplayer games such as a next-generation Halo (the Silver membership includes online chat, voice and text messaging, and various downloads).

Microsoft still hasn't set a launch date, but has confirmed that there will be a simultaneous release in the U.S., Europe, and Japan in time for the holiday season. One rumor floating around the Internet has it that a Microsoft partner site accidentally slipped that Nov. 4 would be the launch date. Another rumor also says Nov. 4, with a couple of Wal-Mart employees cited as sources.

Whether you buy it separately or as a bundle, the hard drive will contain a sample custom soundtrack, some bonus movie including one that ventures into the creation of the console itself, special wallpapers and GamerTiles, and the arcade puzzle game Hexic, created by famed Tetris mastermind Alexy Pajitnov.
