Microsoft just announced that our friends in the land down under will be getting the Xbox 360 Elite later this month. August 30th Australian gamers will be able to purchase the 120GB HDD Xbox 360 Elite (with HDMI) for the suggested retail price of $729.95. The Elite will join the recently price reduced Core and Premium to be the third option for gamers who need a little more storage or just want to go black. Long live the Australian Elite!

I was at best buy the other day, and it was a site to behold. They were totally out of stock of 360's all models, and they had wii's in stock.
I almost got a wii but Im saving my money right now for the f'ing game tsunami coming over the next 6 months.

So now that we are officially getting some 360 goodness with HDMI who knows if these are exactly the same as the US versions?
Is it possible the Australian HDMI 360s (Elite & Halo) are in some way different like the original NTSC/PAL X-Box and if so would it be a fair assumption that they might already have the 65nm die shrink?

Hopefully they took all the left over non 65nm and sent them over. Then we can get the good ones here finially.
I need something new my 360 RROD'd on me twice in the past two weeks.

I would not be suprised if something like that happened.
We Australians get shafted more often than the europeans, and everyone knows how badly they get screwed over by they the big 3.
Funny story actually, friend of mine bought a Forza 2 Bundle pack with premium 360 and had it RROD on him within 2 and half weeks. Bit of digging through our local retailer lead us to discover Microsoft were repackaging refurbs and bundling them. A huge proportion of the bundles were coming back and some of them were even dirty when they were unpacked.
SO if we do get the old stuff when the rest of the world is on second gen, colour me unsuprised.
