A new Xbox 360 was rumored to be released during the spring, one with a 120 GB hard drive and an HDMI port. The spokespeople at Microsoft were quickly to debunk the rumor, but according to GameInformer, retailers have confirmed that the new SKU will go on sale on May 1, 2007 for $479,99.

The black console, codenamed “Zephyr”, packs the 120 GB hard drive, although it’s uncertain whether an HDMI port will be included.
