So that's a base model, a 60GB model and a 120GB model. Awesome. What I also like is that the hard drive and colour of the system are the only differences between them. They all come with HDMI and wireless controllers, unlike Microsoft's lineup last year.

*sigh* Why couldn't they have included the 60GB HDD when the Xbox 360 first debuted?
