Well, it looks like Microsoft is looking to take more of our money with this new version of the 360. It looks pretty kick ass in black, it has a 120-gig hard drive, HDMI support, and it runs cooler/quieter with a retail of $479.

What happend to the good old days of consoles where you'd buy a system and it'd last you a few years. What the hell are Microsoft gonna do next, upgrade the processor and graphics engine ??

It's kinda stupid in a way though how they're pushing the price up towards the price of a PS3. When you compare the 360 Elite with the PS3 and the $20 price difference, the PS3 is definately the better deal. If they were smart, they would've put the HD DVD drive on it.

looks nice ;) wonder how long until the ps3 goes down in price.

on another note, can you hit me up slick, 345801040

pimped out 360 :D

Yngwie · 03-27-2007, 01:03 AM

I'll just stick with my current xbox 360 and get some skins for it.. Mine runs very quiet already. No 120gb hard drive, but that's no biggy.

Boobs · 03-27-2007, 01:30 AM

thats hot

nosey · 03-27-2007, 01:32 AM

luv$ · 03-27-2007, 01:37 AM

It's almost like it's become a status symbol anymore...

The Elite is going to replace the premium version once the Elite stocks run out. The price difference really isn't that bad. A 360 premium will cost you $399, so for $80 more you get HDMI and an extra 100gigs of hdd space.

60gig PS3 is still $599

And lets not forget these are gaming systems, with no AA the PS3 is a joke.

Sarah_Jayne · 03-27-2007, 04:20 AM

but it plays all the same games as the cheaper version right?

Well let's see

"Unfortunately, Microsoft will not include an HD DVD drive or built-in Wi-Fi."

HD-DVD $200 wi-fi $100. Total cost $779. PS3 with blu-ray and wi-fi. $600. Sure that new 360 has 120 GB HDD, but I can go to wal-mart and buy an 120 GB notebook drive for $140.

Let's not forget no hd-dvd player or wi-fi on that $479 360. For $20 more you can get a PS3 which also lack wi-fi but does have blu-ray. $200 for the hd-dvd player only $140 to get a 120 GB 2.5" drive from wal-mart for the PS3.

Sosa · 03-27-2007, 08:23 AM

the original one is just fine. Most people don't even have HDMI TV's, or will use up the smaller HD that comes with the original one.

Lets do apples to apples here.
If you're going to use a walmart drive on the PS3, there's no reason to buy the overpriced MS wifi

Xbox360 Elite $479
HD-DVD addon $199
band x wireless ap ~$50
Total $728

60gig PS3 $599
Walmart drive $140
Total $739

candyflip · 03-27-2007, 08:25 AM

So long as they sell the 120 gig drives, I'm happy without HDMI.

That is true for the most part.
The HDMI and extra hdd space will mainly only be for those that download alot of movies/tv shows off Live. And with HDMI it will be able to upconvert normal DVD's to 720p/1080i

Consoles are becoming worse than mobile phones for having to have a new one every other week.
