Forums - Microsoft Discussion - The newest edition to my console family :)

smbu2000 on 29 March 2008

The newest addition to my console family, The Xbox 360 Elite, oh yeah! It's sitting in between the 360 Core system and my PS2.

Don't they make a nice pair:

My Elite box and Blue Dragon Core System box, hehe.

I got a pretty good deal on the system. It was 42,800 yen(~$428) w/tax & free shipping (about 5000 yen(~$50) less than the MSRP) I'm still using the 20gb hd that I bought for the Core system though since I have to wait to get the HD transfer cable from MS.

edit: I wish I could edit the title, I meant "addition"

Well ive always thought of hooking two 360's up to one TV, and then playing split screen, two separate games, one controller in each hand.......

Well I'd been planning on buying an Elite ever since I heard about them (I got my Core over a year ago) and the Elites were only released here in Oct. Shortly, after that I moved to a new apt., so I didn't pick one up at the time.

Once I get my stuff transferred over to the Elite hd, I'm going to sell the Core system w/20gb hd. :)

Ironic that you have a PS2 controller in the foreground without having the console

It's between the Wii and the 360 Elite. See the shiny orange thing? That's the "skin" I put on it a looong time ago, hehe. It's a slim PS2, so you might not have noticed it

 So it is, I can't see how I didn't notice it first time

It's a bit of a messy set up... I like to keep my stuff tidy, which is why my N64 is in a box in a cupboard.
You could use it as a radiator though, two 360s insulated by a PS2/Wii and a DVD player has to get rather warm.
