60GB Xbox 360 has no street date, as Major Nelson points out photo

When Major Nelson said that the 60GB Xbox 360 was going to mysteriously show up on store shelves without Microsoft making a big spectacle out of it, he obviously meant it.

Previously, we only knew that they were expected to hit retail outlets sometime in August, but thanks to our fellow bloggers at Joystiq, we now know that the various sightings of the console are not a result of broken release dates. Too bad, because nothing makes us salivate like the thought of getting our hands on something special that's reserved for a future date.

If you are still wishing that MS would just release a larger hard drive (by itself) that's actually affordable, well... you wouldn't want to hold your breath on that one. Still, it's good to know that the remedy to your burgeoning storage needs are now just a new console purchase away.

These things have been spotted at many Targets. I was planning on picking one up, but then I lucked out and won the new school/old school Mountain Dew Xbox 360 contest...

Life is good.

Way to rub it in, dephect! Congrats again!

I could really use a bigger hard drive, but I already own 2 360s and I'm done spending money on the damn things.

Why wouldn't they announce this? I thought they want people to buy their stuff.

Oh but i do know that a big box retailer who has a big sign with a yellow tag with a blue back ground will be getting them within the next few days and will start selling them around the 8th to 10th...

But you didn't hear that from me...

I don't want a new console, I want a bigger hard drive that isn't going to cost me a kidney. How about a street date for that you bastards?
