Microsoft announce new HD Enhanced XBox 360 Elite


Microsoft have announced an additional model in the XBox 360 range. The new XBox 360 Elite joins the Core and Premium consoles and boasts a host of High Definition enhancements.

Microsoft have yet to provide a launch date or price, but have released details of the new system's specification. This is the latest from Microsoft's website:

"Our buddies over at Xbox US just revealed Xbox 360 Elite; the new model of everybody’s favourite next-generation videogame and entertainment system.

"Boasting a 120GB hard drive and high-definition multimedia interface (HDMI)
port, Xbox 360 Elite opens the door to the ultimate in high-definition digital content.

"The Xbox 360 Elite console, plus wireless controller and Xbox Live headset are all presented in a premium black finish with signature metallic detailing (growl). Also in the box will be an Xbox 360 HDMI cable to make sure you’re all set for HD nirvana.

"This new high-capacity 120GB HDD for Xbox 360 Elite gets you ready for the new era of high-def downloadable content such as TV shows and movies currently available in the US, in addition to the amazing downloadable games already on Xbox Live Marketplace and Xbox Live Arcade.

"Whatever your taste in digital entertainment, not forgetting music that can then become the soundtrack to your favourite games, the Xbox 360 Elite with its 120GB HDD lets you keep it all in one, ultra cool place. Using HDMI you can watch video and listen to multi-channel surround sound all from the same cable. You’ve got to love science sometimes.

"If you already own an Xbox 360, no need to feel left out: the new 120GB hard drive will also be sold separately. Likewise, the black wireless controller, black Xbox 360 Play & Charge kit, and black Xbox 360 rechargeable battery are also making their way to store shelves in the US around the same time.

"Our US pals tell us Xbox 360 Elite and the new accessories are shipping stateside from 29 April. We’re getting it all soon, okay, so hang in there for a release date."

Heh, now that the Premium edition of the Xbox 360 has the HDMI ports, and thus the HD enhanced abilites as well, the only thing going for the elite is the black matte finish and the 120 GB hard drive. Big whoop. Though I guess it's nice to say that you have the best of the best.
