Has anyone heard any rumbles about an update to what an Elite system will be?

When it debuted, the Elite was only an $80.00 premium, came with an extra 100 GB of HD space, had an HDMI port (not available on the premium at the time), and an HDMI Cable.  

Now, the price difference is $100.00, but the only difference is the inclusion of the Cable, and the extra 100 GB of space.

Should they be doing more to provide value in the Elite, or should they just trim the price differential?  What added featurs would be worthwhile to see in an Elite package?

The Elite needs to have integrated WiFi. There's no excuse for this, and it's a stupidly obvious ploy to sell extremely overpriced WiFi adapters.

Is WiFi really proper for playing online?

I'm going to upgrade my Wii to a wired connection, but primarily because the frequency range used by wifi and bluetooth is saturated in my home (we also have flourescent lights, a microwave, other bluetooth devices, etc).  Wifi is convenient, but it's clearly technically inferior to wired connections in just about every way (latency, security, reliability, speed).

The elite is $100 extra for 100GB of extra space.  If you don't use that space, it's a complete waste.  If you do use that space, you just paid 4x market value for it.  Microsoft loves the elite because it has a huge profit margin.  HDMI cables are worth about $1 and regular people can buy them for $4 after markup, so I don't consider them any value added.

The bottom line is that right now people are buying the elite at $450, so why should MS offer anything else or bother to lower the price.  Some people are buying it because they think they're less likely to have a failure on short order if they get an elite, foolishly assuming that something internal is any different from the rest of the Xbox 360s, all of which still fail at approximately the same outrageous rate.
