if you have a 360 already, get an HDTV. if you don't then get the elite and enjoy until you can get a HDTV. I have two systems, one on an HDTV and one to an SD tv. obviously the HDTV is the preferred way to play, but it all looks fine on SD, you will live, hehe.

Yea I have a 360 already that I got at bestbuy along with their 2 year product replacment plan. I was thinking of just returning it/saying it broke and getting a 350$ gift card for it. I'm debating whether I should get the new 60gb white xbox or the elite. I'm going to be using netflix/get some arcade games and want to install all of my games so I need more then 20gb.

if you already have a 360 it doesn't matter if you get the elite, the elite is the same console, just black and with a bigger hard drive. also it won't work if you take it back and tell them you broke it, they plug in the system and try it when you bring it in.

I think it depends on the bestbuy. They might do something like that to me. The employee their said they take it back no questions asked and they'll give you an instore replacement while you'r their. Their all liars so I don't really trust them lol.

that's what they told me when i bought the warranty as well. what they mean though is that it's no questions asked about how it broke, but i can almost guarantee they check every 360. when my first 360 broke i took it back to best buy and they didn't ask anything about what happened, they just told me they would have someone come and hook it up to a tv to test it before they accepted it.

you already have a 360 skip the elite and get an HDTV, that is what you need. You can get a decent HDTV for the same price of an elite. So get an HDTV man...

I got enough money saved up to buy a real nice hdtv but i'm only 16. I'm sorta hoping my parents buy one in the near future since I don't feel like spending my money lol.
