I literally bought my 360 1 week before this 'elite' was launched. Oh well, as far as I can tell, no big diff, just a much larger HD and 1080p capability, nothing major at all.
They haven't announced an official release date. In Blizzard fashion, they've been delaying it for over a year now. The last time frame they gave was "Summer 07", which is really soon.

As for the differences in your 360 and an Elite, yours does 1080p just fine. You just need a VGA cord instead of component. I have one, works great. The only differences are the color(elite is black), 100gb more HDD space(not a big deal for most people), and HDMI output(is it THAT much better than component or VGA? Somewhat, but not really). I'd almost buy one just cause it's black though, lol.

I plan on modding my 360 when its warranty is up though. They have some sick sick cases for 360s you can buy, and you can get cheap HDD upgrades, and everything in the mod community. So later this year i'll go that route. If I didn't have a 360 already though, I'd probably buy an Elite, just cause they're so pretty.

Back on Hellgate London though. It's been in developement since 2003, when Blizzard North disbanded and all these guys quit Blizzard. It should have some very solid gameplay, that is very refined. I'm looking forward to it.
