Xbox 360 Elite comes packed with lots of content goodness

The only way I'm getting one of these is if there is some trade in deal where i give Gamestop my 360 for a couple days and I get the black one back with all my files on the 120gb hard drive for about... 60$ MAX. However, this is the Real World (Not the one on MTV) and there will probably be no such deal.

Sorry, that is the game that is designed by the Tetris guy.

his is dumb, wow i can see all that on youtube, the games have been around for awhile and the hexic thing, well i dont knoow. One thin i do know is that this makes no difference and still wont be worth it.

So that means i'll get a hdd with things that will just get deleted when i transfer my stuff from the 20GB.

They cram it full of shit so that you don't realize its nto actually 120gb. Much like my 20 *cough-12-cough* gb drive i got with my sup-par white model.

hours, really?

No, the other big announcement is much more disappointing:

That's pretty annoying.

I can't imagine all of that content takes up an appreciable amount of space where people will go and delete it, unless they really plan on doing the downloadable movie thing...

Hmm..... Love the 360, but I'm not sold on this yet. Microsoft is putting themselves in a precarious position, buy building up their console (and price) to something closer resembling a PS3.

I sure hope this works out for them.

It's just like buying a new Windows PC!

I'm torn on whether I should get one or not. On the one hand, I prefer a white Xbox 360. On the other hand, I could really use the larger hard drive. I'm not in need of HDMI because none of my televisions will do above 1080i. It seems foolish to buy a new console just for a larger HD, but a $180 pricetag on just the new 120 GB HD is ridiculously expensive, so maybe I could buy the Xbox 360 Elite, take it's HD and sell the unit (sans HD) on eBay. I dunno, that seems wasteful as well. Maybe I can live with a smaller HD, I just really have to delete some videos.

What a bunch of bull. They decide to enlarge the hard drive now. What about all those that haven't got one. I personaly do not fall into that fold, but they already hancuffed themselves into not using a hard drive. At least SONY made it standard so dev's can use it to help games. Think about it. Dev's will never be able to use the drive to help loading like the PS3 will be able too. I will only speak for myself, but I have what I need, an XBOX360 PRO (?). An awesome videogame system. But theis is a bunch of shit. Plus, the only reason I got online is I'm pisses that Microsoft wants to demand money (er, microsoft points) for a fucking demo. Sorry pals for my rant.

The thing about the Elite that even the "omg microsoft sux" press hasn't caught on to- the really, really terrible and bad thing, is that the elite is mostly worthless to Canadian customers.

You see, the Video Marketplace barely exists in Canada- the only actual TV show or movie canadians can download is Viva Pinata.

So, you say, just make a US Live account: Except you can't use Canadian point cards on an American account. I'm not sure if the same is true with credit cards, but I heard it was.

So, basically, they're releasing a bigger hard drive so people can store videos, and if they release it in Canada, well, we can't download the videos that the bigger hard drive is meant to store. As it is Canadian customers would be spending over a hundred extra dollars just to get a HDMI port.

I dont know if they're planning on releasing it in Canada, but damn, if they do.. it's worthless.
