RUMOR: Xbox720/Zephyr already demonstrated to Myer staff?

Before we continue, we would like to take this moment to firmly plant a big, red Rumor flag on this one, just to serve as due warning. And with that said, here it comes:

Recently, word has been passed along the various channels of the intarw3bs, saying that Australia will soon be seeing a bigger and badder version of the Xbox 360 by March. As the story goes, the appearance of the new version is meant to be a measure for Microsoft to be able to take a share of a market that would have been solely Sony’s for that time. Moreover, it’s supposed that this new toy is going to be a limited edition offering, and that the console itself and its controllers will all come in black; it will come with a 120GB HDD, and it will retail for AU$ 749 (about US$ 584).
As it turns out, various parties have been trying to confirm this by making calls to the local department store, Myer. According to Myer employees, though, folks from Microsoft have paid them a visit and performed demonstrations of the supposed new console so that the staff can be acquainted with its features.

That’s right. Myer employees claim that they have actually seen an actual, working model of the new-and-improved Xbox360 (or Xbox720. Or Zephyr. Whatever floats your boat, really…).

Meanwhile, Microsoft is still delivering the same, “we don’t comment on their speculation” standard response when questioned about this matter.
