whats the difference in the xbox 360 and the elite 360

marionr26 · 08-19-2007

Is it worth the money to get that one or is the 300.00 ok too. What am I getting with the elite that Im not with the other..thanks I can get a 360 with 20 gig HD from a guy like 300-325 pretty new. Ones that dont come with the 20 gig HD is there still room to save stuff without getting the 20gig

Why u chose the sports game section for this I will never know. LoL. Just messin w/ ya, your new here.

I would wait and get the pro that is coming out if u want an HDMI. If u don't get the one with the 20gb u still have to buy a memory unit which is like 40 bucks, which adds up to 320$ plus tax for the 279.99 one (one w/out 20gb), when u could just pay 30 more dollars instead and get an xbox w/ a 20gb drive. Plus, a wireless controller instead of a wired one.

The only reason one should get an elite is if they download tons and tons of movies and tv shows and fell like saving them. Its not like HDMI is the selling point for it anymore since the premium is getting it soon as well. I would be pissed if I just bought an Elite for the HDMI and then I heard that the lower model was getting it too. lol.

And IMO u should just by a new one, instead of getting it from "some guy". It would only be 30 more bucks (if he sells it for 325) for a brand new one.

Whoa...what? Did I miss something here...are the premiums really being replaced with ones that have HDMI?

If so, what a crock of shit...

the Elite has a little bit better of a processer or something on Halo 3 if u play it on HD the white can only go to 1080i and the Elite can go to 1080p

ya know, i could have sworn that I didn't make that up, but now that I'm looking I can't find it retailing anywhere. I saw one article from some place I've never heard of earlier this month that it would have it but so far nothing else really.

Its true. I heard it awhile back.

Redmond (WA) - Along with a cheaper price, customers who purchase a new Xbox 360 Pro will get to make use of a newly implanted HDMI port, previously exclusive to the top tier Xbox 360 Elite.

Microsoft has begun shipping the new version of the $350 console to retailers. Customers will be able to differentiate the new console from older stock by an HDMI logo printed on the Xbox 360 box.

"Retailers are gradually introducing HDMI-enabled Xbox 360s into the channel to meet demand," said a Microsoft representative, according to Gamespot.

When it launched in November 2005, the Xbox 360's only high definition output capability was through component video cables. Since then, HDMI (high definition multimedia interface) technology has grown in popularity among HD enthusiasts for its combined audio/video functionality and its ability to produce the highest video output, 1080p. HDMI first came to the Microsoft console with the addition of the Xbox 360 Elite, a third console SKU (stock keeping unit) with a larger hard drive than previous versions of the system, along with an HDMI port.

The addition of more sophisticated hardware comes almost immediately after Microsoft lowered the price of the console by $50. In 2005 the software giant was reportedly losing more than $125 per console but has continuously worked on bringing its manufacturing cost down.
