As rumored, Microsoft announced the Xbox 360 Elite, a new HDMI-enabled version of the console with black finish, HDMI cable, 120GB hard drive and matching wireless controller and headset that ships April 29 for $480. The 120GB hard drive will be available separately for $180 and, if you're upgrading just the drive, you can use the supplied USB transfer cable to suck the content off your old 20GB unit and be good to go. But Microsoft revealed it still doesn't have a solution for users who want to move to the new system for its 1080p support and jet black coolness. "Now, we know that there might be some people that are going to actually replace their old console with the new console. For that, we're working on the solution because actually how your content is stored is really tied to your box, so moving data from an old box to a new box is a little more complicated, and we're working through that scenario," said Microsoft's Albert Penello in an interview. He asserted that most gamers won't upgrade just for HDMI but, for those hardcore few, "we're working on a solution." Presumably, gamers with orphaned content due to a failed 360 will also benefit from such a fix - stay tuned...
