Now it is official, the next iteration of Xbox 360 with 120GB HDD and HDMI is in the works.  Microsoft announced today details of the Black Xbox 360 Elite.

As we mentioned a few days ago on iTWire, the Black Xbox 360 redesign has now been confirmed by Microsoft in the first of two major announcements this week.

Dubbed the Xbox 360 Elite, this will be a third SKU to run alongside the Core and Premium Xbox 360 configurations already on the market.

The Elite will feature 120GB HDD, HDMI port and cable, component and composite cables plus and audio adapter for use with HDMI.

One rumour confirmed as not being part of this bundle is the smaller (cooler) 65nm chipset, built in HD-DVD drive or IPTV support.

April 29 is the North American launch of the Elite Xbox 360 with a striking matt black design, with matching black controller and optional black battery packs.

For US$479.99 US and Canadian customers can pick up the Elite Xbox 360, for the rest of us, in other regions, we will have to wait for a further announcement.

Microsoft will also offer the 120 HDD separately for existing Xbox 360 owners (oh Joy!) at a cost of US $179.99 (Yikes!)
