You know I've only just realised that the announced confirmation of "Elite" actually only meant the new upgraded 360 console. I thought they were talking about the game "Elite" coming to xbox live arcade. I'm actually pretty gutted. :(

I am? Really what does the elite offer to me? a 120 gig hard drive that I can fill with demos and rentable HD content that I would never rent? Or is it the black colour scheme? Or possibly the HDMI output for my nonexistent HDMI compatible tv? Other than the hard drive I cannot justify buying another 360 that's black.

I don't know...maybe because they actually want to keep what's already on the 20GB HDD to transfer over to the 120GB HDD :| But that's just crazy talk...

I don't understand this whole discussion.  MS has clearly thought that coming out with a newer better version of the 360 is a way to get back some people who may be buying PS3's.  This may not be the way to accomplish that objective, but I'm not angry about it.  It actually allows me to get some new accessories for the system like the 120 GB HDD without buying a new system.  Most of the other improvements aren't worth buying a new 360, but if MS sold more new 360s beacuse of this decision, it might actually be good for the rest of us, as more 3rd party developers start to make games for the 360 instead of, or as well as, the PS3.  And if the same games can be bought on the 360 and the PS3, which system do you think people will go for in the end???

Add me to another 360 owner who's a bit ticked off. I would have liked a trade in program of some sort so I can get the Elite some how without breaking the bank again.

that is just stupid, you are no way affected by this unless you chose to be, if you like your 360 now then there is no reason to sell it because there is a newer one, it doesn't discredit your current 360 in any way, quit bein childish and grow up even if you really are a kid which i suppose you are

The issue I have with the announcement is the price of the 200GB HD. The tag of $180 is ludicrous for an HD that size.

I'll point something out some of you won't like and I'll add this disclaimer - I am Sony biased, but I enjoy good games regardless of what system they are on. This is why I own all three current systems.

There is little reason other than a great attachment to the current 360 titles or XBL for anyone that does not already have a 360 to purchase the Elite over a 60GB PS3. For an additional $120 you lose the 60GB of space, add wireless, add digital media ports, have the ability to swap in any brand HD, gain BluRay, gain motion sensitive controls, and gain a free online network.

I still think the 360 is a great system but I feel the original Premium is a better purchase by comparison.

I think hes being sarcastic I mean who gets that mad that it will come out in a new color and have a bigger hard drive its not like you need a hard drive that big and yes I like the black but for 10 bucks you can airbrush you 360 black and it will look cooler.

Man how is it crap? Newer stuff comes out. Do you expect to trade in your IPOD for a Ipod video? Nah bro, don't work like that. If you're pissed off about it you're retarded. Newer stuff comes out. It's been said there would be a bigger hard drive released. Why do you think they made it removable? HDMI? Who cares, it pretty much looks the same. Even Major Nelson said on is blogcast. And that's a microsoft employee? He must be REALLY trying to sell them by saying they look the same. Get over it.

PS2 had several different versions and the major upgrade was PS2 slim. GameCube had 2 major versions (one that could play dvd's and 1 that couldn't). I don't know if xbox had several versions. If you thought that core and premium will be the only x360 units on the market for the whole lifespan you where just a blind fanboy.

How different is HDMI to say-vga? Anyone point me in the direction of a comparison please? Also - most of you are saying that the HDMI is not all that different...so the whole fuss in here is about more HDD space? save yourself some money and tears and go buy somemore for your current white box. We should be happy that MS are releasing a new version of the 360 a year or so after initial release. Another point -- To those moaning that they only bought theirs 2 months ago... Num 1: its not MS's fault or conern that you bought it 2 months ago is it? If they based their release date on the elite on this...you think the would ever launch it?? There's always gonna be some guy who buys his white box a day before the elite comes out...its just the way of the world. You cant expect microsoft to take into consideration that people might have bought a white 360 a month ago so oh lets not release the elite because of that. Ridiculous. Quit ya moanings......there's always some people that find fault in even the most positive of moves.

Haha I think the real problem here is that its priced so similarly to the ps3.  I have not purchased a current gen console yet but I was considering the 360 seeing as how its so much cheaper than the ps3.  But wait.  The "elite" system is basically the same price as a ps3.  With no HD player built in.  So why would I get a 360 now lol.  ps3 here I come!

Youd get a 360 because it has a superior game selection at the minute. But yes- if you havent a next gen console yet, then you'd be best off with the PS3 as it has a little more trinkets. But its really a toss up between those trinkets and the 360's game range at the minute...are you just going to blow your load over the extra hardware you have(PS3), or want the games that the 360 has to offer that will eventually come out for the PS3 in a few months time....its a good time to be a next gen console purchaser for the first time. Have fun whichever one you choose matey.

This rules! It doesn't rule for kids who don't have the money or people who don't have the cash, but for people with money it totally rules! My 360 is only a few months old, so I'll be giving my old 360 to my daughter and buying the ELITE!
