It's pretty much confirmed, even though Microsoft refuses to comment on the rumors: the Xbox 360 Elite is on its way. That's the name of the new Xbox 360 with the 120GB HDD and HDMI port, which both <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/20/xbox-360-elite-new-black-limited-edition-xbox-with-hdmi-and-120gb-drive/">Engadget</a> and April Issue of Game Informer has gotten from their sources. The black color will be released in limited quantities, eventually replacing the current Xbox Premium.

They're expected to be available sometime late April, though Microsoft will apparently churn out an official press release in early April. Price? US$479 (RM1600...though expect the price to be jacked up when it comes to Malaysia). 

To be honest, the Xbox 360 Elite looks like sex. I'd get one, if not for my limited budget. If the price is too high when it comes down over here, I'll just stick to the regular white Xbox Premium.
