Microsoft can hardly keep a secret which is why information on a secret black Xbox has been floating around for quite some time. If you’re an Xbox fan then April 29 (in U.S. and Canada) is going to be the date for you to remember. That’s when they will be releasing the coveted Xbox 360 Elite that is complete with a 120GB hard drive, HDMI port, black case, and black controller.
If you want to purchase such a system it will run you $479. Albert Penello, the Director of Global Marketing for the Xbox 360, says that this will be seen as the “future proof” solution for people who are buying the Xbox 360 for the first time. He says that they probably won’t see many people buying a completely new console just for the black finish and 120GB hard drive, but there will definitely be some people who jump all over it.
The 120GB hard drive will also be available as a separate offering for those who want the increased storage capacity. The 120GB hard drive will cost $180 and will include the necessary migration cable and software so that you can move your data over to the new drive.

All great, i have been waiting for the improved Xbox 360 or cheaper prices but they did not say anything about UK or Europe Release. Why not????
We’ve been talking about the new Xbox 360 over at Highbrid Nation. Not sure I’m won over by the new features but the black color is very sexy.
Is that me or does that look a bit dark bluish? Or is it just the pictures. I was hoping that it might be like a jet black type black.
I looked around and didn’t see any information about a Europe release. I would guess that it will be a month or so after the United States release.
It does kinda look bluish in the pictures now that you mention it, but I think the video looks a little more black. I assume it is just a poor combination of lighting and flash photography with the pictures though.
