It's no great surprise that Microsoft has a new Xbox 360 model in the works, but today they made if official and also announced five new Video Marketplace partners.

The Xbox 360 Elite will come with a 120GB hard drive, an HDMI port, a high-definition cable, both component and composite cables, an audio adapter for use with HDMI and a black finish for the console, wireless controller and Xbox Live headset. It will not have, despite rumors to the contrary, the smaller 65 nanometer chips, built in IPTV support or a built-in HD-DVD drive.

While Microsoft declined to comment on specific launch numbers for the new model, they did say it would not be a limited edition run. The Elite is here to stay, as are the core and standard Xbox 360.

The Elite model will hit in North America on April 29 for $479.99 along with a new stand-alone 120 GB hard drive that will sell for a whopping $179.99. The hard drive will come with a transfer cable and software to move the content stored on a 20 GB hard drive to your new drive.

Microsoft will also begin selling black battery packs and play and charge kits for the same price as their white counter-parts.

While the Elite edition will also be selling around the world, Microsoft did not discuss the date or price for other regions.

This seems to keep coming up, so please try and keep all things MS rumor related about exclusives and the like. So try and keep it here. Thanks ! :)

 

Channel 10, the Microsoft owned and operated blog about all things Microsoft, is teasing its readers with two exclusive midnight unveilings. One hits tonight, the other tommorrow.

Here's what Larry Larsen of Channel 10 has to say about tonight's and tomorrow's first official look at what's flowing from the Microsoft info pipe.

 

"Two of the coolest Microsoft annoucements since CES are going to be breaking tonight and tomorrow night, and we have exclusive video for both of them. So if you are online at 9:00PM PST tonight (midnight on the east coast) check in to get a full scoop on what your friends will be talking about tomorrow."

please sticky this one as it is currently the best, the most factual information and the least unintelligible spelling. Thanks.

it's apparently supposed to be about exclusives, so I'm guessing so.

Ok so I think it has something to do with live, since major nelson talked about it. my ideas re, XBL gold will be free, new xbl features, spring update. spring update seems unlikely though as they didnt do this for the fall or last spring update.
