Microsoft has finally revealed the release date for the Xbox 360 Elite in Europe and it quite nicely coincides with the Bioshock release date.

I hope they release IPTV.

At maybe £100 more than the regular version, I really don't see the benefit. Don't need HDMI and can't (yet) see any point to the bigger HDD. Plus I think I actually prefer the white over the black (but not cos I'm rascist, like)

IPTV has been confirmed now anyway. That's one thing you missed Joe!

The Elite will be cheaper than the PS3, but how much cheaper will it be with an HD-DVD Drive? I know, I know; that shouldn't really matter considering only like 10% of all 360 owners probably own the added drive, but let's try to compare apples to apples here (even though the PS3 still offers a few more added features other than the 120GB HD)

NO. never has never will.

AND MS anounced the Halo 3 360. It is not based off of the Elite but damn if it doesn't look nice.
