STUDIOS MAKE HI-DEF FARE AVAILABLE ON MICROSOFT'S XBOX

Microsoft plans to introduce an "elite" model of its Xbox360 game system that includes a 120GB hard drive -- six times larger than the current version -- and additional high-definition capability. It will have a suggested retail price of $479.99 when it becomes available beginning April 29. At the same time, Microsoft said that New Line Cinema has agreed to provide high-definition films for the Xbox Live downloading service. It will join Paramount, Warner Bros., and Lionsgate, who are already providing HD films for the service.
