Microsoft shipping Xbox 360 Elite in Europe on August 24th

We're still a little curious at the hold up, but Microsoft has finally announced that the Xbox 360 Elite is going to hit Europe on August 24th. In addition to the Elite, Microsoft also shared the good news that Xbox Live types in Europe and Canada will be able to share in the video download goodies currently being enjoyed by their US counterparts, including but not limited to that hefty high-def Disney catalog that Microsoft is adding to the service tonight.

In the xbox webpage for Mexico it says the Xbox Elite is also coming to Mexico: Mexico se vuelve Elite
Its what it says
Mexico becomes Elite
But no date.

PRICES!

For UK??

For the 120GB HD?

Interesting. They listed the price when they announced the Elite for Japan. Are they omitting it because a price drop is in the works?

[PJK @ Jul 11th 2007 5:09AM]

They are omitting it because it will be insultingly high for the European market by comparison to the states and Japan.

Sweet!! I wonder if I accidently ;) drop my old Xbox 360 if Curry's will just give me vouchers to the value of my old 360? That would be heavily convenient!!
