Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle XBLA images and videos surface

From Joystiq.com:
"This pair of images (and now a video!) might indicate that Konami's coin-op classic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is currently up on PartnerNet, Xbox Live Arcade's beta testing network. But let's not confuse our burning desire with reality. The Turtle rights are now in Ubisoft's hands, so re-releasing this arcade romp is gonna take some finessing (note the two company logos in the alleged title screen). It's not improbable It's looking probable, but without an official announcement joining the screens (and video), TMNT isn't yet confirmed for XBLA. Besides, Konami's already got six other arcade ports clogged in the pipeline -- but might next month's movie elevate TMNT up the priority list?

Xbox 360 Version 2 Rumors Gaining Steam




"1UP suggests that Microsoft may have lowered existing 360 shipments in an effort to flush out old inventory in favor of newly enhanced hardware; like consoles with HDMI support and a larger hard drive. Game Informer was a lot more specific in saying: "Retailers have confirmed that the new SKU is in their systems, set for a May 1 release for $479.99. In addition to the new [HDMI] interface, the system would also pack a 120 GB hard drive into its nifty black exterior."

DC: Looks like we may just see a new 360 very soon. Something is brewing over at Microsoft's xbox division.
