Xbox 360 Elite enjoys fast sales in Amazon
Microsoft‘s new Xbox 360 Elite package was sold out within hours of release in online retail site Amazon.com due to tremendous pre-order response from videogame fans across North America.
Microsoft’s revamped console package created significant anticipation levels when it was announced that it would carry HDMI and a 120GB hard drive with it to put it on a more equal hardware footing with Sony’s PlayStation 3 game console. An HD-DVD drive is also available for the machine, though users would have to purchase it separately to enjoy high-definition visuals from videos written in the format.
The Xbox 360 Elite carries a US$ 479 price tag, which is still cheaper than the standard PlayStation 3 bundle. The Xbox 360 console is still the overall market leader in console sales, but has trailed Nintendo’s Wii in monthly figures since January.
