The Xbox 360 Elite model is coming to Europe on August 24, according to Shane Kim at the Microsoft E3 2007 press conference that recently ended. No price was mentioned, but we're expecting the sales tag to be similar to the US Elite model.
Personally, I'm glad there's no included wifi. I've got a cable drop right behind my entertainment center. Even with 802.11g, streaming via wifi never worked well for me when trying to view HD content. I'm glad I don't have to pay for a feature I don't want or need.
At last the movie/tv show thing coming to europe. I dont think the elite will be £350 in the uk as the PS3 price is about to drop in the UK so they will be to close. So I predict in August that the 360 will get a price cut on all systems across the board and Europe and US
I'm curious as to whether it will be using the new chip that I remember them talking about before? If it does, I'll be saving my pennies for it, otherwise, I might wait till the New Year.
Surely the Elite is going to come in at £299 - year I know it's not much more expensive than the Premium. But with the premium there's rampant bundling and you'd be a fool to pay RRP.

No built in wifi? No money from me. Just not worth upgrading to imho.

Why? Wireless is still terribly unreliable for online play. Guess we still just like to see those bullet points on the box, huh?

Maybe I hope tho.
But got the gut feeling they won't for this year due the $1 billion bill.

At least the white boxes will come down in price.
