I'm trying to convince my mom and dad to get me an xbox 360, but they want to know what exactly is EVERYTHING i can get out of it. The elite is too expensive, i just want the premium for the moment, what are some things i can list to convince them?

Here are a few things:

  • you can stream high-def content from your PC
  • the above includes music files and Windows content
  • you can have custom soundtracks in games
  • the DVD player upscales DVDs to 720p HD quality
  • likewise, all original Xbox games are upscaled to 720p HD
  • the game selection is the best of any next-gen system, for now..
  • Xbox Live will shut you up for hours (*social factor involved)
  • you can download demos, trailers, Arcade games and random tat
  • IPTV coming soon which will really enhace the above feature
  • cheap HD-DVD add-on if you ever want an HD-DVD player

Other people can add to this..

I read about it a long, long time ago. Perhaps things have changed, I don't know.

I believe you need the VGA cables. Correct me if I'm wrong.

It plays games...Sure it does more, but that is what you're buying it for. Tell them that, and if they still say no, get a job.

im going through component and can get up to 1080i, 1080p requires me to do VGA..... My guess is only the HDVD upconverts to 720p.
