Yes, it is finally here! Microsoft has just sent word that they will be launching their big black beast, the Xbox 360 Elite in India. There were lots of speculations about it as to whether Microsoft will launch the 120GB HDD console in India or not, but now they are all put to rest!
What’s so special about the Xbox 360 Elite? Well, here are the reasons:
Mohit Anand is the country manager of the entertainment and devices division at Microsoft India. He remarked, “India’s youth today has an insatiable appetite for style and entertainment in all spheres of life. There is a huge demand for gaming in the country and fans are constantly craving for products and features that enhance their experience. The Xbox 360 Elite’s good looks, larger storage space and premium features will allow our customers in India to enjoy all that the next generation of entertainment has to offer.”
The Xbox 360 Elite will cost Rs. 34,990 in India. But there is a catch. The Black Xbox 360 will only be available through indiatimes.com! The price does seem a little expensive as the Elite costs half as much in the United States. It can be compared to the PS3 as Sony’s console is also available at the same rate.
