Duped is probably the wrong word. The thing is I would've loved to have had HDMI, but I don't cause I have a gen 1 Xbox. Most people don't have the money to run out and buy a new 360 every year. It just feels like if you'd waited until now to get a 360 you'd be getting a better deal. Nintendo does the same thing with their handhelds. But, let's wait and see if this v2 360 is even real.
"I think people who bought the 360 in the first year got kind of duped"
I haven't heard anything credible about a v2, but I don't really understand this comment from you Teddy.... to use an analogy I saw on engadget, if you buy a car in 2006 and the 2007 model adds some feature did you 'get duped'? Or did they just add a feature?
