No XBOX360 Elite for Aus?

I have been speaking to my nutter gaming mates about the possibility of a (black) XBOX360 Elite for Australia, however they say that it's an unlikely thing. EB Games (should be burned down and the company dissolved) have said that there will be a limited run and they also state that it will come will all the normal elite goodness but will also have an inbuilt HD DVD dive.

Are EB telling the truth? or do I just prey that they do come out. Perhaps I should talk the friendly and knowledgeable people at Games Traders to verify whats happening with this awesome sounding console.

I really want to start playing Guitar Hero II but mostly I can't wait to get Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80's!
