What is the point of replacing 60gb with 80gb?

Microsoft is doing a much clumsier job of transitioning between models. Some of the 360 Premiums on the shelves right now have an HDMI port and a cooler chipset, while the older ones being sold next to them for the same price don't. This is a sure-fire way to annoy customers, but considering MS has already got 4 different SKUs in stores, it isn't exactly practical to add another.

I don't think that annoys customers. The ones who know what they're doing simply buy the better model at the lower price. The ones that have no idea buy the crappy model at the same price and don't even know what they're missing. Everybody wins

 

 Not to mention that most people can't even take advantage of the HDMI slot.
