Microsoft has officially confirmed that a long-rumoured black Xbox 360 will be hitting the streets soon.
The model, called the Elite pack, will be the highest spec of the three 360 packages on offer, with a 120GB hard drive and an HDMI output (plus an included cable). The Premium pack has 20GB of storage space and no HDMI, while the cheaper Core system no hard drive and no HDMI. The Elite pack will not include an internal HD DVD drive.
The extra hard drive space will come in particularly useful for US Xbox 360 owners, as they have access to Microsoft?s Live Video store and can download Hi-Def movies and TV shows ? a movie takes up around 4.5GB of space.
Reports suggest that once the intial run of black Elites sell out, the system will continue to be sold, but in more familiar Xbox 360 white casing, while the Premium pack will be phased out altogether.
A price of $479 (around ?250) seems likely for the Elite, but there?s no confirmation of a launch date and price for Europe. If we had to guess, we?d say the price will be ?300 ? ?20 more than the Premium pack costs now.
