Last month, Infinity Ward, the developer behind the much anticipated Modern Warfare 2, confirmed that Microsoft was planning a 250GB Xbox 360 Elite that will bundle the game along with a custom colorway.
Today, Amazon has revealed the release date for the bundle, as well as full details on its availability.
The Elite model will come with a 250GB HDD, the game Modern Warfare 2 and two black wireless controllers for $400 USD.
The bundle will be available starting on November 10th, with quantities limited.

According to a report from Network World, the Xbox 360 Elite price cut that has hit the US and Europe could be hitting Asian nations tomorrow, as Microsoft has announced a press conference in Japan.
The conference was confirmed by Microsoft Hong Kong spokesperson Julie Leong. The price cut will slash the price of the 120 GB Elite model to about $305 USD in Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea and Taiwan.
Although hardly an issue, Microsoft says they will remove the HDMI cable from the bundle, just like they did for the European version.
There was no word on Japan as of yet.

According to the latest figures from Enterbrain, the Microsoft Xbox 360 has outsold its rival the Sony PlayStation 3 in Japan for the month of September marking the first time the console has ever outsold Sony on its home turf.
The strong sales came mostly after Microsoft slashed the prices of its console across the board and for the month Microsoft sold 53,547 units compared to Sony’s 33,071 units.
The Wii continued to be a strong seller and moved more than both its rivals did combined for the month, selling 109,548 units.
Although the race between the 360 and the PS3 is normally very close in North America, the race has never been close in Japan with Microsoft lagging far behind. In an effort to spur sales worldwide, Microsoft slashed the prices of each model of the 360, to 19,800 yen for the Arcade model, 28,000 yen for the Premium model and 39,800 yen for the Elite model.
In comparison, the Wii sells for 25,000 yen and the smallest capacity PS3 sells for 39,980 yen making it more expensive than any of the 360 models.
