CES 2007: Overheard on the show floor

As you walk the CES show floor you hear many things, but certain talked-about items are more ear-perking than others. Such was the case today as I was playing some Halo 2 for Games for Windows. Here’s a rough estimate of what I heard from a mysterious Microsoft rep:

“So yeah, the new 360 will have an HDMI port, a 120GB hard drive, and a cooler chip.”

I heard this and thought I had missed something in the news as I was busy all day wading through the masses at CES. But, after finally getting on the Internets, I saw that no announcement had been made. Is this a rumor? Yes. Will it happen? Yes.
