It depends on the game. If the games is more taxing on the 360 than it runs louder to better cool itself. To my knowledge Microsoft has done nothing so far to make the elites run any cooler than the premiums.

I also prefer the whiter over the black. It also sucks that Microsoft does not release any black accessories. My 360 looks a little silly being black but having a white wireless network adaptor.

Yeah dude, there are just to many games to play. For me it's not so much affording the games is it is finding time to play through all of them. Jan. and Feb. seem like slow enough months I should be able to catch up on all the games I won't have time to play before the end of the year.

I deffinetly play better on my small 21in LCD than I do my 50in Plasma. I've found that I also need to bump the sensitivity down to about 3-4 instead of the usual 6 that I run on the 21in.

I'm getting a 360 soon and I'm not sure which one to go with. I like the fact that the elite comes with HDMI cables, but is there any discernible between that and component cables in terms of visual quality? Also, is the biggest hard drive necessary? What exactly do you download besides demos and movies? Also, can you download any movie or only certain movies? How much does it cost to download movies and can you download HD DVD quality movies or just regular DVD quality? To those of you that have the premium or the elite, are you happy with the one you chose or do you wish you had gone with the other?mysteryman2024
When I got my 360 a few months ago I decided to go with the elite. At that time the premiums did not support HDMI was a good reason to pick up the elite for me. The HDD really is the biggest thing. It's much less to get an Elite that to purchase a premium and pick a larger HDD later on. It's nice to download videos and demos off of XBL and not need to worry about clearing out old demos and videos I no longer watch or play, I'm lazy like that. You also will need to store game updates and games saves on your HDD so keep that in mind when decided if you need that HDD space.

Any TV that can run 720p will also run 1080i. 1080 is a higher resolution than 720, meaning more pixles and a crisper picture. However, running 720p will over 1080i is a better way to go. The "p" stands for progressive scan which gives you a smoother picture over the standard interlated "i" or non-preogressive scan. A TV running 1080p will give you the clearest picture becasue you are getting a better resolution and also running progressive scan.

Hit up Wickipedia, and you'll probably get any queston you have answered.

No, a gold card will only set up one account. You will need to purcashe two cards if you plan on both using a Gold account.

Oblivion is amazing. Two Worlds is garbage. If you prefer amazing to garbage, then get Oblivion.Berserker_2

YES!!!! Oblivion is an amazing game, and one that you should have in your 360 game collection.
