What's the big deal with the Xbox 360 Elite?

It's just an updated Xbox 360. It's not like people who already have an Xbox 360 are going to buy another Xbox 360!

It's great for people who want a 360 and still don't have one, but why would somebody that have a 360 will want tp buy it again?

You can upgrade into a 120GB hard drive later.

Yeesh.

Besides, it's ugly.

This console is not enough for you guys to hype.

it IS useless. I don't like the black color. HDMI is not a big deal. and the hard drive price is a joke. I was looking forward to the new more efficient chip. Guess I'll have to wait longer. The Elite fails.

I would get one mainly because I do not own any previous versions and its probably aimed at people who don't have one.

Those people who need those options will buy one. Those of us who just buy one to play the games will have to settle for the Premium.

No videogame console is useless. If you play videogames and the machine plays videogames then how's that useless? Well maybe except the CDi, and the Virtual Boy, and the N-Gage, oh wait nevermind.:D

its pointless to upgrade from existing 360 to elite unless u have a hdmi tv already and would like to use hdmi connection. my 360 already is a little black, i got the carbon fiber faceplate. i could just paint it or get a black skin for it and bam its black elite without bigger hdd and hdmi but it is black. i still have about 13 gigs left and i got my console christmas of 05. i dont buy lots of arcade games and i stream my music from zune software. more people should use zune to stream there music.

Unlike the PlayStation3, this unit comes with the complete list of cabling. From that shot, I see the HD/Component Cable, a breakout box for the standard A/V and S-Video cables, and finaly an HDMI cable. If you like the Xbox 360 and happen to have an HDMI port available, an Elite 360 allows you to plug it in and have the audio and video from a single physical cable. And well, let's be honest. there are some people who are really into aesthetics, and may not have bought a 360 before because "it was white" and wouldn't go with the rest of their home entertainment systems. Yes, I've met people that were THAT PICKY about things.

No wi-fi, no replacable hard drive(hell I could put a 300GB hd into the ps3), no web browser, huge power brick still included, still no new 65nm cpu(still a huge chance of overheating), milkage to the early adopters(me), etc., etc..

The only thing good I can say about the elite is that it has a nice black skin and it comes with an hdmi cable for the best picture quality.

you guys sound 'not smart'

 like EVERYTHING else from camera's, phones, ipods, TV's, TiVo, etc .....    

New, updated Versions always come out(except PS2 ... poke fun)

 2 years after the original is perfect ... cause my warranty will be expiring right at the same time this baby comes out ....  

 who will buy 2 360's?   The same people who buy 2 PC's, same people who know how fun LAN Parties are (Halo LAN parties still goes down with the best of LAN parties, which for me would have been QUAKE days, on PC) 

 

Funny thing is .. i never seen so many people come on to talk about what they are NOT getting.  When the threads should read about what is to come ... that will justify this 120Gig hardrive.  Like HD content ....  full downloadable games (mistake in my opinion), creating games of your own (they offer applications and tools to do so).  The list can be endless, but what do MS have up there sleeve to offer us (and you know there is always something).

It's not useless for people that feel that they absolutely need HDMI and for those who plan to use IPTV.

Its useless for people who don't have a 1080p TV and dont want HD movies through XBL. This probably accounts for most people.

First, this newer version is just like the many many many different versions of the ipod so get over it.

Secondly, this versions will be used more by people who download a ton of hd pay per view (notice ppv meaning you don't own it and you will have to erase it from the harddrive after your 24 hours is up) or people who want to download a ton of tv shows in HD at a price and keep them. Having HDMI is added for the ones who own high end hd tv's like plasma's and lcd's.

Outside of that if you do not fall into the above category then there is no need to get upset about the new SKU and there is no need to upgrade.

It's great for those who want/need HDMI and a huge HDD. In Canada, it's only CAD$50 more than the Premium package. I won't be getting it, but I'm sure there will be people who will get it. I, myself may get the HDD instead if I need it. gnutux

NOT useless if you do not own a 360. Useless if you already own one. Also, if the Elite does not contain the 65nm CPU it sucks. I'd rather wait for a Premium with 65 cpu.

I want to buy a 360, but right now I am debating whether I should. Its either a 360 or a new graphics card. But my problem w/ the 360 is that it never has enough space on its hard drive. But the new GTA is a tempting buy. I am still debating.
