Microsoft has finally made the official announcement of highly rumored upcoming black Xbox 360 Elite.

The entire device including the case, live headset and controller will be black in color and this all will be available in brand new packaging.
It is estimated that 120GB/HDMI will come packed with the premium Xbox. Elite model is pretty cooler on execution than normal 360s, but it is not sure that it will be having 65nm chips. Price of this fascinating Xbox including 120GB/HDMI may remain the same, but if 65nm chips are also including in the premium pack, then the price may vary.
