As we mentioned late last night, Microsoft not only officially announced the Xbox 360 Elite, but also disclosed deals with distribution deals with five new video Marketplace partners. Says Peter Moore:

With more than 300 games expected by year's end, an Xbox LIVE community of more than 6 million people and a growing catalogue of premium content from some of the biggest names in entertainment today, Xbox 360 is an incredible value. Adding partners and content like this helps reinforce the console's position as the center of connected entertainment in the living room.
