Xbox 360 Elite

The new black Xbox appears all but confirmed. Engadget has some specs on the improved system which includes a larger hard drive, HDMI port, and new paint job. The black Xbox color will apparently be limited edition until the specs on the system replace the current premium system, in which the primary color will remain white.

Most importantly, there is speculation that the release date will be late April for a price of $479.99. Though a little hefty, the package is fairly decent and I will surely wait out for the projected cooler processor.

I just hope this isn't some kind of cruel April fools joke!
