XBox 360 Elite 120GB HDD replaces the XBox 360 Pro 60GB HDD model. Elite gets a $100 price cut and the Pro is no more.

XBox 360 Elite is now only $299 - the premium XBox 360 system. Hurry stocks will not last XBox 360 Elite is a bargain. Aesthetically it looks a lot better than the PS3 Slim.

XBox 360 has a much bigger, better games library than the PS3.

Those are both just your opinion

Do you get Netflix with your elite? No, you have to pay for it after the first month... and that is only true in the US.

We have already had several discussions on this, but I don't think it changes much, people generally go for an HDD version or an arcade, it will boost a little, but not the same as the PS3 price cut

NEtflix is an NA Service...And MS never said you were getting anything free...They always stated at no additional charge to gOld members...Since you not a gold memeber...And not american..you have no idea how much people actually use this...at least half of my friends list uses Netflix daily...No one is disscussing Netflix..casper was asking a question and I did not unstand it about netflix and his connection...Again..MS never promised Free Netflix on you 360 streaming...but you can use it on your XBL gold account.It's about the value..On PSN if you rent a movie..it's 2.00 or more depending on the movie.MS offers the same movies with the exception of the Sony one's but I don't know if they are on there and on top of that they offer Netflix compatability as well...Again...it's value... 10 movie rentals on PSN in one month 20 dollars* 10 movie rentals on XBL with netflix 8.99...In NA this counts...

You obviously haven't seen their LBP song stealing adverts... that says Xbox live is free, I know it does not say gold but still, confusing for the consumer as that advert talks about online MP. The only reason I brought it up is because you said those are the main battlepoints, Netflix versus blu-ray. And yes, I am a gold user at the moment, I probably worth it as I played a lot of Halo Wars online and a bit of Gears 2, and it is generally useful for sending messages from your PC and getting content earlier.

And for me, it is not worth it, but that is because I don't really watch many movies, and I like having the tangible media. And I have a PS3 attached to the main TV in the house as a blu-ray player, and so renting through that is going to become more useful when that launches.

Netflix is clearly a great service, I think the gold subcription offers good value for money in the US, I just don't think you should charge for online MP, and it is not a factor that can be considered worldwide

Ok..First...They did not steal the song..Sony does not own the song....stop being a a biased fan about this song becuase it's also on your precios LBP...Second Xbox Live is free...Xbox Love Gold the premium is not..It's not confusing...if your looking into Xbox 360...you won't get confused when you find out that you can upgrade your membership...Every game with online MP on Xbox 360 tells you that you need XBL Gold to play...I have not seen this fabled advert so I don't know what it says...I did not say that...GOD! This is from KOTAKU! Man...I should of put a source link...Xbox.com work with Silver as well...you you can get content...Renting? You just said you don't watch many movies...I guess for the ret of the household it useful..

Well...I rather pay to Play...Then have Fluxuation in my games...Yes PS3 lags alot..I have played it....It goes on good runs...But that Lag bug rears it's head allways....On Xbox 360 Lag is so rare you think it almost does not exist...unless you play people from foriegn contries...Also Why should I pay tax on DLC?...Becuase Sony refuses to charge for bandwith?..No thanks...People don't realize that if they Download enough from the PSN store they can exceed the 50 dollar price tag on XBL...

Well...if you try to get a generalized opinion...Like let's from Metacritic..It's not his opinion it's a fact....And If game sales were to judge what more people think are good games...then Xbox 360 has way better games than PS3....

So yeah I'm saying it...The games that sell more are better than the games that sell less...

Reviews are opinions and not facts.

most of the game i have are low scored / not very much known. but some of them are my all time favourite.

Like I said...Well..If you try to get a generalized opinion...Like let's say Metacritic...(Better libary based on more positive review)

Any ways...I always say that Sales are wha counts..and people on here always say sales don't = quality...

About 40 dollars a movie



 



This is great. We could have some good bets regarding the first week of sales in September. I guess you guys think the Elite will outsell the Slim at $299? I am not sure I can interpret this thread in any other way. I will put my sig and avatar up for the PS3, will you?

Side note, the Netflix 360 movie library sucks. There is no better way to say it. I am not saying this as a Xbox owner, but as a Netflix subscriber. It really is a pathetic service.

Amazon Sales Rankings

360 Arcade #34

360 Pro #131

360 Elite #425

 



Thanks for the input, Jeff.
