They want to have more and more people owning an xbox 360, and the 360 owning community to grow so they can beat other consoles. If people just got rid of their older consoles and bought elite, the community doesnt grow, and they just take the availability of the elite away.

They've said it about, 200 times that the Elite was made for those who are on the fence about either buying a ps3 or the 360.

Good for them, but it still doesn't seem right.  Let the current users upgrade, why is that such a bad thing.

M$ is greedy and dumb. That is the answer to all questions about the reason why they do all the things they do.

One thing that bothers me is the whole.."if u switch to an elite and transfer your files you have to be online enabled to access this content".  So Does this mean that if I'm in the middle of an xbl arcade game and about make some hard to get achievement and my internet drops the game kicks me out?  That scares me.

The fact of the matter is that the people upgrading from the premium to the elite is a VERY small percentage of the 360 gaming community.

Yes, It's bittersweet and I'm not ecstatic to be doing it, but I'm doing it strictly for HDMI. I could care less about the Hard Drive and Black finish.Â
