I won't buy an Xbox 360 until the new version with HDMI, 65nm manufacturing process, and a larger hard drive comes out. The sooner they release it, the sooner I will buy one.
I have a version 1.3 Xbox and it runs great. I have seen lots of people who have had problems with v1.0 of the first Xbox, and it seems same goes for Xbox 360.
The 65nm CPU is just from production maturing. It really is helps the manufacture reduce production costs while increasing productivity as it allows for more chips per wafer, i.e. increased yields. For the end user, you, it will require slightly less watts and output slightly less heat, but unless you are currently having overheating issues there is not much of a point. The typical benefits of a die shrink, increased cache and higher clock speeds, won't be realized on a console as game developers would have to program for the lowest common denominator.
The increased HDD will be released as an upgrade I'm sure and the only reason for HDMI is if you are lacking component or VGA inputs or if you are infact an HD-DVD drive owner who wishes to hear the uncompressed audio sound tracks.
