Microsoft planning an 'Elite' Xbox 360 - console|
| (hx) 09:40 PM CET - Mar,20 2007 | The chaps over at
Engadget have received word from supposedly reliable sources that this
'second-gen' Xbox 360 will initially be a limited edition high-end model dubbed
the Xbox 360 Elite. The site says this Xbox 360 Elite will have a 120GB
hard drive, HDMI video output, a black case, new packaging, and a $479 price
tag. The console is said to run cooler than current Xbox 360s, although
Engadget's sources don't know whether Microsoft will be using the 65nm
die-shrunk version of the Xenon processor that Chartered expected to start
producing this quarter.
- The Elite will be limited quantities only; that may be as much or as little
as a couple hundred thousand.
- The case, controller, and Live headset will all be black. It will have all new
packaging.
- Elite will cost $479, and will be a 3rd SKU; it will be sold alongside Premium
and Core packs.
- Eventually Elite hardware (in white plastics) will take the role of the Xbox
Premium. That is to say, after the Elite is launched and sold out, future Xbox
Premiums will have 120GB / HDMI.
- We do not yet know exactly when 120GB / HDMI will become the standard for
Premium, but it is loosely estimated to be late summer or fall.
- Elite models run cooler than normal 360s, but they are not yet confirmed to
have 65nm chips.
- Prices may remain the same with the 120GB / HDMI hardware upgrade in the
Premium Xbox, but we may still see a price cut on the line when 65nm chips start
shipping.
- The HD DVD drive will not be internal or bundled -- Microsoft never did or nor
does not currently have plans to put an HD DVD drive in the 360.
- There are no current plans to integrate WiFi into the Elite or future Premiums
(although that can always change).
