My 20gig died (bought in January 07). I bought a 60gig and it runs much better. It's quiet, games load faster, runs cooler, has HDMI support, XBox Live Marketplace seems faster, and I got an improved headset, Kung-fu Panda and Lego Indiana Jones (awesome game!!). You did the right thing. Coulda got that 20gig fixed, but it would probably break when you least expected (mine broke every November!). Enjoy your Elite!!

Sell the old 360 too. Just make sure you get the free data transfer cable from Microsoft.

 

I think you're right - I thought it was just my imaginiation about the marketplace as I downloaded several demo's last night and it seemed way faster.  I thought they may have had a better network card in it or something, it was very fast whatever the reason.

The reason I got a new one is cos I earned an extra £1500 last month in overtime so I treated myself to this and me and the wife to a holiday in June. I was totally fed up with the 20gb when I was deleting installed games off the HDD to make extra space to install a new one and I accidently deleted my Mass Effect game same rather than the installed game (I was on my third playthrough as well).

Thats when I thought enough is enough.
