The premium doesn't have HDMI, The elite does.

Microsoft Officially Adds HDMI to Premium

Maybe this is why it's on sale, to make way for new HDMI stock.

No, just trying to denote my own reposts.

The HDMI enabled Premiums are going to be scarce for quite awhile, they only just began shipping them.

Supposedly, there is a report going around where Microsoft said they have been shipping them since July.

People are getting the new version from target, in some locations.

EDIT:
Report

Well damn. August 8 (yesterday) it was 350. Now it's 330? Good thing Amazon has a 30 day price guarantee, cause I just bought it yesterday. At least I'm glad I bought it from Amazon.

Edit: Well my refund was quick.

I ordered mine yesterday too, I just called and got the extra $20 off. Took me about 5 minutes.

Any way to know if these are the new Premiums with HDMI?

I'll let you know if I get one tonight. probably get off work and be home by 8PM eastern.

Bought it yesterday and had it overnighted.

Yah but Amazon prob has several warehouses throughout the US and which stock you get is probably based on your distance to a warehouse and the shipping method so we probably cant be sure unless we wait about a month.

An update for everyone

The console I purchased yesterday from Amazon is NOT the new Falcon unit. It does not have HDMI, and the manufacture date is 10/2006.

That's disappointing, but for the price it is a heck of a deal.

I would personally return it or call MS immediately because you will have issues with this console.

Premium consoles manufactured on/after July 4, 2007 use the new Falcon board and include HDMI. They also have the new 65nm CPU and the extra GPU heat sink fan.

It's sold out, at least from Amazon. That was relatively quick.

They are still selling them at the $329 price, you just have to wait til Aug. 18th for them to ship.

Where are you seeing that? Still $349 from J&R here.

On the right, click the "more buying options" link. Its the first one.

edit: just double checked... it's gone now.

Just got my 360, it's dated 11-2006. So no, it isn't the new falcon. No matter, I put like 2 80mm case fans in the back. Fits perfectly.

** I just completed an RMA with MS a week ago. The manufactured date on my replacement was 11/2006 as well. ** (it looked brand new)

If you sent it back to MS, don't expect the newer version.
