UK gets no HDMI love. Pt Deux.
Rbj | 8:32 AM on 08.25.2007 4 comments


Last night I announced that The UK wont be getting a Premium Xbox360 with HDMI for quite some time., so I thought I'd take it into my own hands and talk to the sellers themselves about the projected time frame we will be expecting to recieve the first HDMI enabled premium 360's.

So off I popped into Game and spoke to the manager who happened to be behind the counter at the time. The manager himself was completely unaware of premium 360's receiving the HDMI love, and constantly asked me if it was the Elite I was on about. I suggested he researched the matter and upon doing so he said their was no projected release date yet.

Next I went to gamestation and asked the manager of their establishment, as I suggested yesterday it seems gamestation are informed it will be around March 2008 us Brits will be able to get our hands on the HDMI enabled premiums.

I then ventured into Woolworths & Virgin, and neither had a clue what I was on about, so I just gave up and returned home.

I have also contacted a couple online shops (Shopto.net & play.com), and Play had this to say :


"We are currently not expecting the Xbox 360 premium editions until at least Q2 2008, if you wish to find out further please contact Microsoft directly."

So it seems my ventures to find a HDMI enabled premium, are fruitless, and waiting until 2008 seems the only option :(

Boo hiss!
But well done on your investigative Matlockery. Guess we'll have to wait a bit for those longer lasting HDMI editions, grrrr.

Hold up guys, I got the new argos catalogue and it says the Elite console that we get will have a HDMI port so that's something at least.

This is why I like Gamestation. Generally well informed staff.

Gamestation is good for that reason. Though the guy in there yesterday told me the rock band guitar isn't BC with Guitar hero II. Surely not?
