I wouldn't be surprised if this rumor is true. I remember going to target a week before MGS4 came out and running to the bank to get more cash in order to buy one of the many copies they had in the case. Thanks Target :)

I had read so many horror stories of the RROD and was afraid of buying a 360 and yet my PS3 broke down, I'm hearing many stories of it breaking down and no more problems with the 360.

My Falcon 360 is perfectly fine, even running for a while in a closed cabinet.

Now I have worries of buying a PS3 again and will wait until a new SKU is released, my first PS2s also had DRE and my slim PS2 is perfect.

May I suggest killing, then raping. It's so much easier that way.

Meh, now where's the fun in that?

Also, I don't understand this whole backlash towards this guy.He asked if 60GB is RROD free.Don't see no wit,don't see no sarcasm.All he did was ASK!

As a person who's never had a RROD,I can assure you that knowing every type of motherboard(Zephyr,Falcon) and it's RROD rates is a clusterfuck.You just don't give a crap about it unless it happens to your console.So MAYBE that guy was confused about it because he didn't own a 360 and heard you "RRODers" talking about a RROD-free one in the past.MAYBE he was curious about this new SKU and wanted to KNOW if it's a RROD free SKU.

THINK before you TYPE.Triple hearts you from insulting someone might boost your self-esteem,but you're not witty or smart - you're just an asshole.

@ Ninjakamster
Everybody and their dog appreciate the irony of your situation, but could you please stop mentioning your goddamn PS3 every time there are any RROD-realted news or comments? We feel sorry for you. - Now stop and let your PS3 rest peacefully in Hell where it belongs.

Wow, anybody can see that this guy was asking a genuine question here. To answer your question eilegz, yes I believe this new sku is 99.999999999% safe of rrod. Go ahead and 'Jump In' buddy.

This is Vincent, and yes Tmontana its real, i snapped that pic at Target yesterday. The 60GB was next to 20GB and was being sold for he same price so a employee probably brought it out accidentally.These 60s are coming out any day now though, so its not that big of a deal

Target misses the targeted release date. Yet again.

Keep practicing, target, Olympics are still 9 days away.

I saw one in a case here in Cleveland today, actually. I didn't think anything of it, though, because I thought they were already on sale.
They had an arcade, too. Temptation overcame me and I briefly considered picking one up until I remembered that I have no money and am currently broke, anyway.

samfish i think you should save your cash and get the new 80gb ps3 with ds3 controller. just generally because I want to see your princess peach fetish level. With my serious hat on tho, you buy a ps3 for LBP (which I remember your affection for) and I will buy a wii for Madworld~!

dont forget the seriously great PSN titles like FLOWER and FAT princess coming out , along with some mystical and magical level that some BBC reporter guy saw.

let me know if you get one! my psn id is my joystiq id

Samfish

Ignore unboring, get a 360. Wii60 had been the winning combo since these next-gen console wars started and it still is.

No, get an Atari Jaguar. I was down at my local game shop the other day and they tons of classic titles on sale at discount prices, score!

I picked up Cannon Fodder for only €5!

Pop these suckers on eBay. It's not scalping since you're only breaking the release date instead of availability when it's released:P

I just saw one at the Bedford, OH store yesterday. The price is $299.99 and the date of manufacture is July 18, 2008.

Ironically, the demo Xbox red ringed and I lol'd.

Looks like GameStop is listing them as "now shipping"

It's just so unfair. Whenever I check Target for a game on its release day, they always, without fail, say to check back in a couple of days.

I have the same question and I don't think the question is stupid because the rumor about jasper in august have been out for months and maybe the 60 GB version includes jasper.

I think that at this point no body knows. I want to buy a 360 but just ONE not 2 or 3...

The 60 GB X360 was not street dated. Retailers may start selling the product as soon as they receive in store.
