Hardcore gamers have a new date to mark, Sunday, April 29, when Microsoft Corp. will unleash its latest iteration of the Xbox 360 game console.
What makes the new version, called the Elite, so special compared to its 16-month-old siblings is a 120-gigabyte hard drive, which is six times the capacity of the Premium model, and an HDMI video output, which theoretically could allow for higher resolution videos than earlier models. The new model will put gamers back $479 - $80 more than the old top-line Premium (seen at right).
A brutal reset, a smarter story, and a return to what made it great—Mortal Kombat (2011) revived the series.
Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.
15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
New report from Skillsearch found that 22% of those surveyed had been laid off within the past 12 months.
It's a step forward for Stop Killing Games.
....and i will sell my premium once i get my hands on a transfer cable ....anyone know if i can just network both my xbox 360's (premium and elite) in order to transfer the info like games and all that? or do i have to wait for that cable to come out separately?

He seems to think that Apple *invented* multi-tiered product pricing (AKA, "good, better, best" pricing).
Somebody tell him about the varying versions of Windows (since 1995) like XP Basic, Home, and Pro.
Or going back before he hit puberty, GM's old strategy of folks moving from starter Chevys to mid-range Buicks and high-end Caddys...
Sheesh, get out more guys!
MS isn't copying anybody; they just figured that if somebody wanted to throw money at them for a black case and an extra 100GB of drive space they really don't need, they'd be stupid not to take them on the offer.
Frankly, the more folks buy the Elite, the quicker they'll be able to drop the price of the Core.
im not buying the elite for its space as much as im buying it for its 65 nm chip that will give me piece of mind. All xbox owners should have that .
Nicodemus,
Thanks for the great news..grr
Ok I'll wait no biggie..I'm getting a wii this week. Their virtual Console gaming and Zelda is pulling me in.
