    Engadget : 360 Elite mini review

    Of course with this thing seemingly not coming out over here for a while it will be of little use to us, but it is still worth the read (I thought anyway)....

    Unpacking and Comparison Pics
    360 Classic Vs 360 Elite
    HDD Transfer Kit Photos & Info

    Essentially don't get your knickers in a twist if you already have a 360. Your only missing the black casing and the 120GB HD.

    EDIT: These Guys have a review too with the insides showing.

    Nice, as I thought, get a 120gb hdd as and when they grant us media downloading, otherwise stick with saved games and live games on my 20gb.
    Not around too often!

    I've said this before, but it seems as though the black Elite will be a USA only special edition. When that run has finished and they release the normal white ones then they'll be released worldwide.

    I know this doesn't guarantee anything, but both amazon and play have the elite version listed but without any price or release date though play state it is "coming soon". Both of these companies know their suppliers and surely wouldn't list it unless they were confident it was coming out over here.

    But they do, Play and Amazon post items and release dates without any official information all the time.
