This morning, I woke up expecting the introduction of not only the 360 elite, but also the 360 premiums with HDMI out.
Knowing some of the people who work for the big games companies in the UK (Gamestation & Game) I was on good authority that the HDMI premiums were arriving in the UK in the next couple of weeks, and as with everywhere else the transitional period had began.
WRONG.
Speaking to an assistant manager of a local gameStation store this morning, 360 Premiums in the UK will not be expected to have HDMI out until around March next year. This has gotten me riled as the rest of the world seems to be happily getting the hdmi love, while us brits (And probably the rest of Europe) have to wait it out, or spend an extra 50 - 100 pounds on an elite.
Great. Just Great.

Then I looked up the belgian article that first announced the new SKUs, and they had to update their article by talking about new pricing only. It says they have been asked to remove 'certain elements' from the post, which was precisely the Pro/Arcade hdmi SKU thing. They also state that they will not be communicating about those removed elements for some time. It sounds probable that Europe is getting the shaft again.
