Xbox 360 Elite. Your thoughts?

Well, is it good? Or a rip-off? Personally, I won't buy it. Maybe the extra hard drive but that's it. I'm fine with my premium. Although I think it's a rip-off here, it's not in Canada. The Premium there is $500 and the Elite is $550. Go Canada if you want an Elite.

A total ripoff if you already have a Premium Xbox 360. And the trade in value is only $250, so you have to pay almost $300 for a larger hard-drive and HDMI cables. But if you don't have one already, go for it. It's kind of stupid that Microsoft didn't include an internal wi-fi adapter. It sucks to have to pay $100 for that thing. And it only would have cost them like $10 for each unit. I'll get this if my current 360 dies after the warranty is up, but for now it's better to wait for the 360s that will include the smaller processor.

You do not need the hard drive unless your playing online for downloadable content, there are other uses but nothing that matters to much. The xbox 360 is a better bet than the ps3 however. I say the drive is worth it for all the good extra content you have on xbox live, Xbox live is much better than the free ps2 online service, you can do much more. :D

Actually you have to have the hard drive to play Xbox games on the 360. Not a big deal to those of us that have both, but to others it'll be the only way to play games like KOTOR or Jade Empire.

As for the Elite I don't think it's worth it...

Oh [censored]. Something that costs $50 a year is of higher quality than something given out for free? Alert the internet! How do they do it!?

Of course, anything you get for free is not that great. But it still works. Xbox live is a great experience overall.

Thats what I meant by "other reasons" but not very important if you still have your original xbox, want to know why? Most xbox titles are still not compatible with the 360, Microsoft is still working this out.

Well no [censored]. You totally missed my point. You were saying how Live is better than the Playstation Network when it pretty much has to be since it costs money. I was being sarcastic.

My thougts on the elite?

Nothing. Just sucks for all the 360 owners that have to buy a new one. The elites prolly wont sell well.

Im not sure about this but I learned that the elite is missing some features that the premium xbox 360 has, I think one might be an HD-DVD player.
