Got some money to spend.. and been thinking on buying a Elite. Got some questions.
- Are all new Elite units Jasper models? Probably yes
- Whats the "advantage" of Gold membership in Europe? Playing online, getting content more early, weekly discounts on DLC
- Bundle or no bundle? I dont want Halo. Are there any good bundles out now? Bundles now have Halo 3 and Fable II.. If you don't want those, buy the console separately..
- Elite comes with built in WiFi right? Sadly no
- What kind of audio does it support? 5.1/7.1?
The following audio formats can encode on Xbox 360:
- Stereo PCM, 16-bit, 48 kilohertz (kHz)
- Dolby Digital ® 5.1 channel digital audio, 48kHz
The following sound formats can pass through Xbox 360:
- Dolby Digital ® 5.1 channel digital audio, 48kHz
- THX 5.1 channel digital audio, 48kHz
- WMA Pro
- Digital Theatre Surround (DTS) 5.1
- Are all controllers battery driven, no matter which unit you get? Yes, unless you get a wired one, or you need to buy charge kits
- Has the HDMI cable been removed (europe)? From now on, yes, but there's still stock with HDMI if you're quick.
- Do i have to purchase HDD upgrades through MS? If you buy Elite you can't upgrade. 120GB is max
- Does it support 3rd party bluetooth keyboard/headsets? No bluetooth and no 3rd party head sets unless specifically made for the X360 (like MadCatz etc) . It supports any keyboard though.
- Can you stream .mkv files from your PC -> Xbox? Not sure, but I think it's possible
- Does it support 802.11N routers? Yes
- Is it "easy" to configure WiFi connectivity? I.E a automatic recognition of some sort would be nice. Don't know, I don't use wireless.
.. i visited Xbox.com (europe) while writing this. It says that as a Gold Member you can get the full experience, chat with more then one person at the same time? As in voice chat, (ventrilo style)? Also, is this restricted to just one person with Silver? It also said that i can enjoy multiplayer, this isnt available with Silver?
