They said ‘winter’, and they’ve lived up to that promise by the skin of their teeth. The Xbox 360 Elite will hit Australian stores Thursday, August 30, with its 120GB HDD, HDMI, and brooding black demeanour.
The price? $729.95. Conversions, schmonversions. I don’t think that’s too bad a mark up over the only-just-reduced 360 Premium – if that was still at $649.95 almost everyone would go for the Elite. Planning on making a move on one of these options? [Xbox 360]

The HDMI & bigger hard disk get ticks though.

Monday, August 20, 2007 at 1:01 PMOof, $729.95? Is that with the discount that was given to the other models?
No matter, still want one… hopefully Table Tennis is still doing the rounds…
Now where did I put that liquid carbon dioxide…?

Tuesday, August 21, 2007 at 6:22 PMI got all excited when I read the headline. been waiting for the elite to get released here. but after looking at it closely that’s over $150 for an for black and 100gb extra hdd. I think i’ll wait a bit for the prem’s to get HDMI and upgrade the hdd if i ever need to. I’m not too worried about the 65nm chips though. I’ve got aircon :)
