this Elite unit is a permanant unit...not limited time....

This could go for or against Microsoft and could really benefit the PS3.

Its a good idea but I think it may help the PS3 just because it makes the PS3 look close to the same price range, but If MS keeps the premuim out on shelves and the core then they will be fine

How is that exactly? It's not replacing the premium unit, and unless you're a technophile and/or really want IPTV, there is nothing that would force you to buy that version.

Apparently 360 owners now have to burn theirs and get the Elite.

And new owners can only buy the Elite cause buying any other version will make them die soon after lol

Why wait for something that has nothing to do with performance and everything to do with Microsoft saving money? It doesn't benefit you in any way.

The Elite has HDMI and twice as much space in the HDD than the $600 and is still over $100 cheaper.  So as long as they make that known it should go over well for them.   Anyway yes they are only putting out the Elite as a option, they will still have the two versions out also.  They also arnt doing anything that effects the actual hardware or software so no one is screwed over unless they are totally obsessed with the colour black.

Yes it does, more chances of Price drop, less money for me to spend and a less noisy and more stable hardware.

It's not constantly happening to people (the malfunctions). If a group of the relatively low over-all percentage tha are affected by harware failures decide to post their woes on here, it makes it appear as though it's a much bigger problem than it actually is.
