The much hyped XBOX 360 Elite with its 120GB detachable hard drive and HDMI output will officially go on sale this Sunday, April 29th. Some stores already have their shelves, but it is just a big tease as you cannot purchase the new unit. The Elite is an all black unit with all black accessories and is supposed to be produced in limited quantities so expect it to sell out quickly and become hard to find after the initial shipment. Rumor has it all future XBOX 360 Premium models will also be all black, but will not carry the Elite moniker. This new unit is also supposed to run a bit cooler than the original 360 which has had some over heating problems and required many owners to pick up an additional cooling unit to avoid overheating.

Xbox 360™ Elite is the newest addition to the Xbox family that includes a huge 120GB hard drive (the largest available for any gaming console), a high-definition multimedia interface (HDMI) cable, and a premium black finish. The Xbox 360 Elite also includes a black wireless controller and black Xbox LIVE® headset.
