My cousin got a 360 elite....

All the Elite has is a bigger Hard Drive and HDMI ports. Other than that it's exactly the same so if you want the equivalent of the Elite get a 120GB Hard Drive and you'll be sorted.Robot_Vampire

 The problem with that is that the 120gb HD is at a rediculous price. Ill just delete demos and its not like u actually own any of the movies u get from the marketplace.

If you aren't a 360 owner already, the Elite is the obvious choice if you're buying right now.  You get another connection option, bigger hard drive, and a different color console. 

Those are all +'s to me.  If it were my decision as a first time buyer, I'd definitely get the Elite.  $80 more than the Premium, and you get all that.  It's a no-brainer, or so it seems.

If you've already purchased the Premium, and need the hard drive space, buy a 120GB hard drive (there is a specific make and model for $80), and use the recently released tool to enable it for your 360.  The only thing you won't have is the black console, and accessories, but you've paid the same thing.  

I know some people are just buying it because it is black.ag1002

It'd be nice if they fixed the overheating issues (unless they already have). Other than the HDMI ports, black paint to serve as a marketing scheme against the Sony PS3 (I say), and 120gb hard drive, it's the same as the others.

HE works at walmart and today he phoned me that he had got one. He already has the premium to. So he wanted to compare them so we put them both on his 52 inch sony tv. I cant even notice the difference..... I dont even think its worth it.Cornerstore

And who said you would see a difference ? Are you even serious about this thread, or is this one of those self ownage threads ?
