MS: Dropping Elite HDMI cable gives punters "flexibility" of choice
Published on
Microsoft has told VG247 that dropping the HDMI cable from the newly-reduced 360 Elite bundle will allow punters to pick the HD cable of their choice.
"In order to offer the Xbox Elite to consumers at a reduced price, now €50/£30 less at $249.99/£199.99, we eliminated the inclusion of an HDMI cable," said a rep in statement.
"That said, we are confident that providing even better value for our premium console will allow people the flexibility to purchase the HDMI cable of their choice so they can enjoy the full benefits of our high-definition and 1080p experiences over Xbox LIVE."
Microsoft confirmed Elite's much-rumoured drop this morning for both the US and Europe. HDMI cables are cheap now, right? Right?
