ZOMG!!! Xbox 360 Elite sneak peek
Ron NSFWorkman

 

Look I drink...
and from time to time the makes me slow to get out breaking news. You may have seen Kotaku and AOL Joystiq's coverage of the Elite along with everybody else that got one today, but they all seemed to miss a major item of interest. I caught this and made a video that takes painstaking strides to bring you all of the details. I made sure to bring it to you in true Dtoid fashion as well. Please pay very close attention because some of the details are very hard to notice


MORE IN OUR xbox 360 SECTION

Genius. I could, however, read "Can't read this." One more point smaller in font size, and I would've been in some trouble, though.

Great vid. You deserve a Grammy, a Tony, and probably a Gilette Fusion. Rock on, Greybush.

Also Ron, no mention for Snaileb or myself? For shame... After all the work and laborous hours we put in tormenting Summa for everyone here... ::sigh:: Well, I guess I'll have to settle for my imdb page...

James I have 2. One for almost 2 months. Your totally full of shit if you say its as loud as a launch one. Night and day. The only advantage thats noticeable. crakdown is the only game that is loud enough to hear more than a few feet away.

Not only to a have a quiet (not THAT quiet but quiet, i think because my PC is always on and louder, helps that they sit side by side) launch unit...but more amazing is that it's still works, 1+ year later

And i plan on keeping that way by disconnecting my Ethernet cable every time I play GHII

The Xbox elite will be my first "next gen" system, I've been a lazy ass for months and living off my savings but now I'm working again!

Last month I almost got a Wii but decided to pay the cable bill instead. I don't regret it.

I find it fucking hysterical that pretty much every site that has their Elite, says it's still just as loud as the old ones. Hmm? I wonder why? My Elite, which I've had for a few days, is quieter.God damn audiophiles.
