As we rubbed shoulders with some of the biggest names in the Australian industry, Microsoft reconfirmed the announcement from earlier today, and provided us with the latest Xbox 360 sales figures. Of course, we weren't going to be left without something to talk about, as we witnessed the first Xbox 360 Elite in Australia.
The console itself has a black matt finish. Microsoft also confirmed that the controllers will now come with rechargable batteries, which should be quite handy. Unfortunately, local pricing information on the console hasn't been revealed just yet, but we'll keep on their back until they fold, or send men with white suits after us.
Ta-dah!
To add to the Xbox 360 Elite unveiling, Microsoft also had four machines on display that were specially designed with images of four Australian celebrities. These were Russell Crowe, Russell Ingall, Jennifer Hawkins and Megan Gale. All four consoles were personally signed and will later be put up for auction, with the proceeds going towards children's charities. Just in case you're wondering, they didn't appear to be the Elite versions.
If only we'd brought the glass-cutter.
More images of the Elite (including controller and HDMI port) can be found in our Media Panel. We'd like to wish the Xbox 360 a belated "Happy Birthday".
