Via Xbox 360 Fanboy:



Months and months of speculation, leaked photos, and random bits of information have finally come to an end. Microsoft just officially announced what we've all expected, the black Xbox 360 Elite. Everything we've heard before is pretty much true; HDMI connectivity, a massive 120GB HDD and everything is painted a matte finished black. You'll be able to purchase this black wonder April 29th for $479.99 US which even includes the HDMI cable. The Xbox 360 Elite is not a limited edition package and will not replace the current offerings, but will be treated as another SKU. Microsoft also announced that other black accessories will be available for purchase separately including black play and charge packs, controllers, and headsets. Finally, the 120GB HDD will also be available separately for $179.99 US. Read the full press release after the break and be sure to check out Joystiq's lovely Xbox 360 Elite photo gallery ... oh the joy! So fanboys, will you be going black this April?
