I got my xbox 360 last month, and to be honest i love it, and i'm not really bothered about this rumored new version either, because at its core its the same 360,and plays the same games, and i think thats what most people are forgeting. Its not a new 360, afterall isn't it about the games?

 What do you new owners think?

Well i am not a new owner but i agree with your point,it is all about the games. Most will buy it for the HDMI and 120 gb harddrive,but if none of that is an issue to you then the 360s we got now are fine. I might like to get my hands on the 120gb harddrive,luckily that will be sold seperately.

To tell you the truth the new 360 will effect 2 people: 1) people who watch movies and want to watch T.V on their 360's 2) People who are very picky with High Def T.V. I don't need a 120g hard drive because I use the memory for my Arcade games and Memory. Also, I use regular high def cables and looks pretty damn nice without the HDMI. And finally I have cable to watch T.V and buy DVD's....not my 360. I bought my 360 to PLAY GAMES.

Why would anyone be annoyed?  Buy it if you want it, if you don't want it then don't buy it.. It's all about choice..

I have a warranty at Gamestop, so maybe I can take in my current 360 + the warranty and pay the difference and they'll give me the elite or something.

 i doubt it man.  i could understand them letting you return the 360 if it was new and putting your credit towards a new one but i really doubt they'll let you bring in your used 360 with warranty to trade up.  idk, just my .02.

why just because i own a wii i dont own a 360.  i could care less about about the hdmi, i want the hdd, and hello the quietness of it and the fact that it wont overheat anymore, i use the intercooler and have had no problems but am sick and tired of the jet engine sound i get from that mixed with the loudness of my 360.

the 360 elite is nothing but the same 360 painted black and an hdmi port and bigger HDD that you could by as an add on big deal..... its not like its a new system.... its the same 360 power graphics interface and xbox live service and runs the games the same.....

I heard somewhere it would run quieter though and have significantly less crashing/failure or something due to hardware upgrades. That would really piss me off cause mine is superloud and I have to deal with annoying disc read errors quite often.

I bought a 360 last week and it doesn't really bother me at all. I don't have an HDTV so HDMI is useless to me and a 20 gig hard drive seems like it will be plenty for me.

While I am fairly indifferent about the HDMI (although it is a nice addition which I will use) and the 120 GB HDD, which is only a question of comfort, I find it more important that the Elite will (moste likely) be more balanced in its hardwere -just as it is always the case with consoles - for instance look at the difference in the early 360's and those recently produced .... some claim that the Elite will host the 65mm CPU chip, and that would be a major improvement to the system ... !

Attack of the Show on G4 said that Gamespot/Game informer has made this year's April Fool's Joke early with the announcement of this elite 360 thing. Not sure if that's true or not, but that's what A.O.T.S claimed.

I bought my 360 on March 1st. The elite version does not affect me in any way. I could care less about it and quite frankly am very sick of hearing about it. I do not have a HDTV and use the VGA cables to my computer monitor. I am barely using the 20GB disk I have and do not need 120GB. In addition even if I did need the hard drive upgrade I can buy it seperately.
