The Xbox 360 Elite is here, and it's not going anywhere. Now first off i have a question too ask everyone. Why are you being so hypocritical? This time last year, everyone was saying "well the Xbox 360 isn't next gen because it only has a 20gb harddrive and no hdmi". Well guess what, that is no longer the case. But now everyone says "this was a horrible move by Microsoft, they are screwing there early adopters". No, Microsoft is not screwing there early adopters. Can the early adopters still play Xbox 360 games? Yes. Can they still use XBL and download content on XBL? Yes. Can they still do everything Xbox 360 Elite owners can do? Yes. The only thing they won't have is HDMI. Which does what for gaming again? It's not like adding a new gpu too the system or adding some more ram. It's not like you can't still play games. You all complained for 2 years about the features it didn't have. And now you complain about the features it does. What gives?

p.s. sorry about spelling errors.

I guess people don't like having a choice.

They'd rather buy whatever is shoveled down their throat by a cartain other company.

I bought a premium 360 6 months ago, and if a hadn't bought one yet I would still go with the premium. The elite isn't worth the extra money to me, I don't need HDMI and I definatly don't need the big harddrie, specially when I have mine on a network.

Like what? You do realize there is still a core system for 299 right? This isn't the one and only sku for the Xbox 360. This is something people have been complaining about the Xbox 360 needing for a long time. Well now guess what, it's a reality and all people can do is tear it down.

You all complained for 2 years about the features it didn't have. And now you complain about the features it does. What gives?swaginator
What gives IMO is that we have to trade in our old 360 if we want to use these new features. (in other words, spend more of our money) Personaly I'm not going to because I don't really need the HDMI. Thats why I bought the PS3, for the HD capabilities. It's stupid releasing the Elite edition when we should have had these goodies in the first place. There are three different 360's to choose from now. Why the hell is there not just one? There turning gameing into the computeing market if you ask me. I can choose from so many different PC's, and I suppose in the near future I'll be able to choose from so many different 360's. (or 720's, 1080's, or whatever it will be called then. Probably the Xbox Loop!)

To the tread starter:

You dont understand still?

The people that havent got their 360 yet will be very pleased and happy with the Elite because of the price and what it has to offer compare to the premium.

BUT for the people who bought Premium AND extra 20GB HDD are totally ripped off.

Immagine lots of people bought the extra 20GB HDD when later microsoft released a version where you add $80 to Premium version you get the Elite version with 120GB if space

in Elite 120GB looks like its only 80 bucks

in the separated 20GB HDD is 100 bucks.

 

do you get the point already?

There are three different consoles because some people like all the goodies. And some just want the necessities too gaming. If you don't want an HDMI enabled 360 then thats fine. No one is forcing you too buy one. But at some point movie companies are going to require HDMI too enable 1080p movie viewing in your Hi-Def movies. Now the option is availible for those who want it.

I can't understand anything you just said. And besides this, people knew there would be a bigger harddrive coming down the line eventually. If they really wanted one, and wasted there money on another 20 gb then thats there fault. They should have been a little more patient.

You cannot make people a little more patient almost everyone wanted to play 360 and this makes people forget wat MS has to offer on the table then later on they can get a better deal with less money? that is ridiculous.

and so Elite is gonna go out ur telling people to be patient? okay so they will wait 1 more year and maybe MS will release a ultimate version? the time u buy it they will already tell something about xbox720. nice idea [sarc]

and i dont know how you did not understand what i posted first. sigh.

it clearly shows that in Elite you get 100HG more than the Premium for the price of just $80 more, while a lot of people already bought 20GB HDD add-on (the seperate one) for $100

summary: (if you still cant understand)

$100 = 20GB 

$80 = 120GB

 

whats the better deal?

Hey, I love my 360 but this does kinda suck. If they take this too far it will end up being like a pc. That is where the console is better than a pc, everyone has a level playing field. Gamers, Devs, they know that if I make a game for Xbox 360 more than likely it is going to work with every 360 out there. That means they can spend more time developing the game for the system instead of testing it with this card that card this cpu etc... All I have to say for all game console companies is pick a sku, make it somewhat future proof, and stick with the damn thing. I don't want to have to pick between the noob edition, middle class premium, or the mercedes benz elite. It's stupid. Just make it play games.

The Premium was 400 at launch. What can i tell you? If your not willing too buy an Elite, then you don't want those options very badly. Your premium will play games the same as the Elite anyway.

[QUOTE="dr-venkman"][QUOTE="swaginator"]You all complained for 2 years about the features it didn't have. And now you complain about the features it does. What gives?swaginator
What gives IMO is that we have to trade in our old 360 if we want to use these new features. (in other words, spend more of our money) Personaly I'm not going to because I don't really need the HDMI. Thats why I bought the PS3, for the HD capabilities. It's stupid releasing the Elite edition when we should have had these goodies in the first place. There are three different 360's to choose from now. Why the hell is there not just one? There turning gameing into the computeing market if you ask me. I can choose from so many different PC's, and I suppose in the near future I'll be able to choose from so many different 360's. (or 720's, 1080's, or whatever it will be called then. Probably the Xbox Loop!)

There are three different consoles because some people like all the goodies. And some just want the necessities too gaming. If you don't want an HDMI enabled 360 then thats fine. No one is forcing you too buy one. But at some point movie companies are going to require HDMI too enable 1080p movie viewing in your Hi-Def movies. Now the option is availible for those who want it.

My point is that the features they added are features that are already standard for HDTV's. You said "at some point movie companies are going to require HDMI too enable 1080p movie viewing." Which is correct. But I'm not going to be able to watch those movies at 1080p through my 360 because I didn't buy the elite. See where the problem comes up? If I just decided to buy a 360 now then I would have no problem with this. But I bought one almost a year ago. And now M$ wants to be as HD as possible so they add more HD featuers.

To the tread starter:

You dont understand still?

The people that havent got their 360 yet will be very pleased and happy with the Elite because of the price and what it has to offer compare to the premium.

BUT for the people who bought Premium AND extra 20GB HDD are totally ripped off.

Immagine lots of people bought the extra 20GB HDD when later microsoft released a version where you add $80 to Premium version you get the Elite version with 120GB if space

in Elite 120GB looks like its only 80 bucks

in the separated 20GB HDD is 100 bucks.

 

do you get the point already?

def_mode

I can't understand anything you just said. And besides this, people knew there would be a bigger harddrive coming down the line eventually. If they really wanted one, and wasted there money on another 20 gb then thats there fault. They should have been a little more patient.

You cannot make people a little more patient almost everyone wanted to play 360 and this makes people forget wat MS has to offer on the table then later on they can get a better deal with less money? that is ridiculous.

and so Elite is gonna go out ur telling people to be patient? okay so they will wait 1 more year and maybe MS will release a ultimate version? the time u buy it they will already tell something about xbox720. nice idea [sarc]

and i dont know how you did not understand what i posted first. sigh.

it clearly shows that in Elite you get 100HG more than the Premium for the price of just $80 more, while a lot of people already bought 20GB HDD add-on (the seperate one) for $100

summary: (if you still cant understand)

$100 = 20GB 

$80 = 120GB

 

whats the better deal?

What do you think? This is the risk you run with buying any electronics early. There are always going too be newer units, and upgraded models. Now none of this changes how the machines perform. I don't hear people complain who bought the system at launch with loud dvd drives. Now the dvd drives are almost completely silent. What can you expect? As consoles get older, the price falls. Can you imagine how much that harddrive would have cost at launch? Your talking the price of the core PS3 here or more. I'm sorry that you feel the way you do. But people have been calling for these features for a long time now, and now that they are here. Everyone is just pissed off. Well hey, if all you were gonna do is **** and complain when you gottem maybe you should have asked for them at all.

Hey, I love my 360 but this does kinda suck. If they take this too far it will end up being like a pc. That is where the console is better than a pc, everyone has a level playing field. Gamers, Devs, they know that if I make a game for Xbox 360 more than likely it is going to work with every 360 out there. That means they can spend more time developing the game for the system instead of testing it with this card that card this cpu etc... All I have to say for all game console companies is pick a sku, make it somewhat future proof, and stick with the damn thing. I don't want to have to pick between the noob edition, middle class premium, or the mercedes benz elite. It's stupid. Just make it play games.

And every sku does. They just all have differing features for people who want this or dont want that.

I don't mean to make it sound generic, but the SNES came in pretty much one SKU. They did a revision of it but it didn't add any extra features. They are kinda taking it too far. All I am saying is you can't make everyone happy so just make one good sku, and don't worry about what everybody wants to add on to it after the fact. Customization kinda belongs more to the PC world, and I am happy with it that way. I don't want to worry about it, or be envious of someones HDMI port...

I bought a Premium at Launch, I wanted an HDMI and that 120GB of space, what am i gonna do? buy he elite version? I must be retarded todo that.

Price of Premium at launch = Price of Elite

The Premium was 400 at launch. What can i tell you? If your not willing too buy an Elite, then you don't want those options very badly. Your premium will play games the same as the Elite anyway.

 ahh so ur assuming i dont want HDMI? so you want me not to take advantage of my 60inch sony HDTV with 1080i? wow u crack me up

400? more like 499. and im in Canada so prices are higher?

I didn't say that. I said you weren't willing too pay for them you didn't want them very badly. Don't put words in my mouth. And i didn't know you were in canada i apologize.

And 20gb's is fine. Who said it wasn't? Who said anyone needed HDMI? People said if from the start we want HDMI, and a bigger harddrive. Well now here it is. And all anyone can talk about is how crappy of a deal it is.

Never said you said thos things and never i put words on ur mouth.

What you posted seems like I bought Premium doesnt mean I dont want elite and its features, actually i do since in the beginning but then ELite wasnt there as a choice, now its gonna come out. what do i do buy another one to get the features? heck no.

If you wanted more Hard drive and HDMI, but you already bought Premium from the past, and now elite is out with this deal, will u buy the Elite?

Kinda like when Sony said the PS3 won't cost more than 465usd? If these features had been offered from the get go, the price would have been sky high. Like PS3 high. Then everyone would have said, what crappy deal, it's too expensive. What a rippoff. There is no pleasing everyone. But Microsoft sure does try.
