The Elite appears to be elusive!

According to some research that Xbox360rally has done, the Elite is selling better than many had predicted.

When the first shipment of Xbox 360 Elites hit Costco store shelves, they were quick to disappear. So naturally, Costco restocked their shelves… and they disappeared again.

Costco has been selling the Elite as part of a $530 package that included an additional controller and a plug and play charger kit. Now, it’s since been taken off the Costco website, because they’re sold out. Again.

But this is nothing new for online retailers. Best Buy has been sold out of the Elite for as long as I can remember, and as of now (Thursday, May 3rd), Amazon.com is still without. But, if you go to Circuit City’s website, you can still get your hands on these surprisingly elusive Elites.

So, for all of you guys who said that the 360 Elite was destined to fail… owned.
