Man what a joke, hdmi, black finish, decent sized HDD reminds me a bit of something else on the market. If this is Microsofts try at competing with the biggest gaming consol ever i feel pretty bad for microsoft. And what about us? what about the people that already have an xbox360? I love ym 360 and play it now more then i even play my other gaming consoles. But really no built in hddvd player? and exacly the same look besides the black colour? this is really embarrising and will actually imo help the other expensive console sell.
Why feel bad for Microsoft because they are currently running away with the Video game market, yea feel bad for them. Its only worth purchasing for the larger hard drive so if you allready have a 360 no need to get the new one, but for someone who never had a 360 its a pretty sweet deal. Why would they include a HD-DVD, rumors have been going around from Microsoft spokesmen that if HD-DVD does fail then eventually they might switch over to Blu-Ray. Stupid MIcrosoft always thinking of ways to make more money.
This new system is still a good deal. Yet I am depressed because for me to get the bigger HD I would need to drop 180 bucks. Seriously, it should be around 75$.
The new version is OPTIONAL, you dont have to buy anything, I wish people would quit complaining about it. No-one ever complained about having a 20GB HDD before, so why moan now? If you want black, spray paint yours, or buy one. If you want a black controller, spray paint it or buy one. It is all OPTIONAL!

ms only used HD-DVD because they helped make some of the technology in it, thats why its an add-on, im going to wait to see what wins the next gen format war befaor i buy into anything, after all what use is HD-DVD if no 1 will make movies for it, and same for blu-ray

stop whining. We still get to play the same games. Nothing is changed besides a bigger hdd which you can get separately and an HDMI port which you can't get separately. VGA works just as good for picture. We as early adopters are not getting screwed over whatsoever.
Yep, it's EXACTLY the same except the black color. Oh wait, I forgot about the HDMI AND 120GB HARD DRIVE. If you want an HD-DVD drive go buy one. You honestly can't expect them to give you one built in for $480. Also, don't give me the crap about PS3 being only $500 an having blu-ray. The $500 PS3 is FAR less functional than the Elite.
