Decided to go with the premium instead, opting for the newer tech in those that keeps them from breaking more often than the stuff in the Elite. Not that anyone even reads this.
BTW, I WAS pissed about Microsoft doing the whole, "we'll fix it for free thing" like, a day afterI got mine back, but the wait has been pushed back to about 6 - 8 weeks, so... Sucks for them...
Oh, on a stranger note, I kind of decided today that I'm really more like a hardcore casual than an actual hardcore gamer. I only buy the big titles, don't waste time with the ones that suck... Maybe I'm a douche bag...
