 From CNET News: Confirming what it admitted was the "worst kept secret" in the video game business, Microsoft on Tuesday announced its Xbox 360 Elite, an upgraded version of its 16-month-old next-generation console family. News of the Elite console has been making its way around the blogosphere and video game sites for days; Microsoft's announcement did not contain any real surprises.Essentially, the new console, at $479, is set to include a 120-gigabyte hard drive, as well as an HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) port, an HDMI cable and a wireless remote, all in black. The Elite package will not, however, include an upgrade to the Xbox 360's behemoth power supply. The existing Xbox 360 Core package, which has no hard drive, costs $299. The Pro model, which includes a 20GB hard drive, costs $399. Users of those models who want to upgrade to the 120GB hard drive can buy it separately for $180, Microsoft said. Asked about well-publicized quality assurance problems with the Xbox 360 line--resulting in some customers returning their consoles multiple times--Xbox product manager John Rodman said the Elite would raise the line's quality standards. "We made a tenet to not ship the Elite console...unless we got quality to where customers and readers and ourselves are happy," Rodman said. That means, he said, that Microsoft is committed to the Elite being a better-built console that will not be subject to the same frequency of customer service complaints. Source: CNET News

ermmm looking at it... it looks good but could do with a bit shiner finish like the PS3!
 anyhu the 120 Hard Drive sounds quite good and lets just hope it is as "well made" as microsoft say it is.

Looks like what they did with the slim ps2 but the bigger harddrive could be better for modders? -------------------- -Mad_cow |

I'd really consider buying this if it had built in WiFi. But I think I'll just get the Premium and just buy the WiFi adapter. Black pad looks cool though.
