Paul Thurrott, the man behind Windows Weekly and Winsupersite.com, confirmed on the latest episode of Windows Weekly that the newly announced IPTV function of the Xbox 360 will require a full hardware upgrade, not just a software update. This new 360 will feature motherboard components to support IPTV, a bigger (much needed) hard drive, and the quieter, cooler 65mm chips. Curiously, he said nothing about the inclusion of an HDMI port… This is big news for current 360 owners, is IPTV worth another purchase, especially if it’s the only way to get the new bigger HDD? Will you buy one?

Ya microsoft it’s nice that you finally come out with a system that works nicesly but what about the peoples who paid top dollar to get their 360’s earlyer? What about them eh? Ive been throught 2 360’s already and the second one lasted about 30 mins. So i would really like one of these new chips but im not so sure microsoft will give them to previous xbox 360 owners.
