| Blappo said: When the Elite was first released it had more value than the Pro since it had a 120GB HDD vs a 20GB and it was the only model with an HDMI output. What is the point of MS continuing with the XBox 360 Elite? It costs $100 more than a Pro and the only differences I can see are that it's black, has a 60GB larger HDD and comes with an HDMI cable. The colour is personal choice and an HDMI cable can be purchased for under $10-$20 if you avoid "namebrands". Is the larger HDD really worth the extra $80-$90 more? Unless you need the space right away I would wait a year or two and MS will probably release a 250GB HDD for the cost of the 120GB now (although that still is overpriced). Am I missing some additional differences or is MS just doing a cash grab on unknowing customers and those who value the elite status of the black console? |
I agree sith you Blappo. I think there is no point to the Elite anymore as well. Yes, it has 60 GB more in space but what are people using there X360's HDD's for. I've had a 20 GB system for about 2 years and still have over 10 GB of space and I have downloaded demos, games and other DLC. I think your best point is the HDMI, the Elite was elite when it was the only SKU that had HDMI now all of them do. @S.T.A.G.E, so what if it comes with an HDMI cable in box as cheap as HDMI cables are I could pick one up on the cheap.
On the color black: If Microsoft and other companies know the color sells more why not release the 360 in black to begin with?
Good post, Blappo
Sidenote: My 500th post, cool!
