Didn't you ever look at the elite? It's more of a matte color not metallic like the PS3

Well if you are going to get mad at Microsoft for that then you might as well get mad at every restaurant everywhere for making food in the menu's look better than what you actually get. Maybe they waxed the cosole, try that.

Finger print and dust. It's very difficult to keep clean.

I much prefer my elite to my ps3 as far as color goes. The ps3 collects dust and fingerprints like crazy and always looks dirty. The elite looks great all the time and you can even touch it!

Wait, are you saying that your ps3 is worse than your 360 because it collects lots of dust. Wow, that's pretty stupid.

He was expecting dark black or glossed black, not a greyish look that is of the elite.

I was pretty dissapointed too when i saw my cousin's elite, the fact that it really isnt black throws off the scheme.

Even the controllers look messed up, its light black with grey. no shine

My roommate has an elite and let me say thankgod its not the shiny black like the ps3. My ps3 has a ton of fingerprints on it and you can easily see all the fingerprints. You want that on your 360 elite.

if you want a shiny system get a ps3 and sell your elite 360, if you want a system with good games then encase your 360 in glass so it will always shine. Better yet, put it in a bucket full of water and freeze it, that works too.

What are you a raccoon? "Oooohh SHINY!!!!!!!" The 360 is not a coin or a PS3, bro, it's a 360. I'm sorry it can't be shiny like you like it, little raccoon, but that's the way life is.

Your gonna cry over the color of a system? ANd what do you mean you dont get what you see. Never once did anyone ever say the elite was a shiny black. The 360 wasnt a shiny white so why would it be a shiny black. Its like the same casing as the original 360 but black instead of white.

Why do people have to be sarcastic and nasty. He didnt get what he expected. Theres no need to go mad at him for it. If you saw a PC or phone advertised as sommet it isnt then i bet you'd go mad too.

it's advertised as matte black. I prefer matte, shiny things get fingerprints all over them.
