Xbox 360 Elite Officially Announced
After months of unofficial information, Microsoft today has finally announced the Xbox 360 Elite game console. Corroborating on all previous information, the Xbox 360 Elite will feature a 120GB hard disk drive, up from 20GB in the 'Premium' console and an HDMI output for connection to high-definition televisions. The new upgraded Microsoft system will be easily distinguishable from the current Xbox 360 consoles by its color- the Xbox 360 Elite will come in a premium black finish for the console, wireless controller and Xbox Live headset. Additional Xbox 360 Elite accessories, such as the black Xbox 360 Wireless Controller, Xbox 360 Play & Charge kit and the Xbox 360 rechargeable battery, will be available separately. Xbox 360 Elite will have an estimated retail price of $479.99 and is expected to begin arriving in U.S. stores on April 29. For existing Xbox 360 owners who simply want to upgrade their hard drives, the detachable accessory will be sold separately for an estimated retail price of $179.99.

Edit: No it doesn't LOL
Maybe it can emit more heat due to the lower Albedo ;p
Hope there will be a black 65nm one soon. ultra-need
I'm probably just going to get a black Xbox 360 Case for mine and a larger Hard Drive. HDMI isn't that much better than Component/VGA IMO. It can still deliver 1080i. Even though I have a 1080p HDTV, I'm still not complaining.
Here's a guide on how to add a larger HD. You need a 2.5" LapTop HD and a 2.5" Enclosure, then format to Fat32.
