MS Confirms: Australia Gets Elite on August 30th for 729.95AUD
Posted by XanTium | August 16 22:50 EST | News Category: Xbox360
 
From the MS press release:
[QUOTE]
To mark the beginning of spring [note x-s: in Australia spring starts in September], Microsoft is proud to announce the arrival of a new console in the Xbox 360 family. Launching on 30 August for a recommended retail price of $729.95, the sleek black Xbox 360 Elite video game and entertainment system comes with a 120 GB hard drive, a high-definition multimedia interface (HDMI) port, a HDMI cable, a black wireless controller, and an Xbox LIVE headset.

Initially available in limited quantities, the Xbox 360 Elite joins the Xbox 360 and Xbox 360 Core consoles to offer consumers three choices this spring. The Elite console complements the existing Xbox 360 hardware portfolio to fully cater for a wide range of consumer wants and budgets.

To complement the sleek black finish of the Xbox 360 Elite, additional Xbox 360 Elite accessories, such as the black Xbox 360 Wireless Controller, Xbox 360 Play & Charge kit and the Xbox 360 rechargeable battery, are sold separately.

hmmmmmmmmmm
tell us when the pro boxes are commin with HDMI then ill consider my options
if i could sell my current box on fleabay for $5-600 with some gamse then i might consider the upgrade
or if EB does some upgrade deal then i might
but as it stands $729.95 is pretty pricey just for a black box with HDMI and 120gb drive
but hey its only money

Man if only they would bring out a new core with hdmi, My first 360 shat itself and was out of warranty so I sold it, then 2days later ms decide to announce a warranty extension, leaving me $500 out of pocket and a 20gig hd and 2 controllers. All I need is a core to get back into the action, I dont want to have to spend the extra $150 to get things I already have.

Dont know what all you lot are complaining about the price of the Elite down there to be honest - in UK the Elite is reatiling for £329.99 but over at your end it is :

Live rates at 2007.08.17 07:07:33 UTC
729.95 AUD = 286.235 GBP
Australia Dollars United Kingdom Pounds
1 AUD = 0.392130 GBP 1 GBP = 2.55018 AUD

Hey try www.marshallward.co.uk as they are doing it as £299.99 and by using code ZQ438 you get £10 off and free delivery making it £289.99.
