I believe that the Xbox 360 Elite Console is an improvement from the Xbox 360 but only by a small margin. I think that Microsoft released this new version of the console because they felt threatened by the new PS3 and they had to come up with something new so people would buy this latest console. I am currently considering whether to buy the Xbox 360 or wait to buy the new Xbox 360 Elite. I would like to hear your views. If you would like to tell me what you think please send me an email to this address: morgan_sufc@hotmail.co.uk.

It is still loud, still no built in Wi-Fi, and still no internal HD DVD. I assume the author meant that the the original grievances have NOT been rectified.

They put this out to compete with Apple's set-top box, not the ps3. MS is the #2 video download service behind Apple and most videophiles' system components are black - hence the color. Uh..

Then again, if/when I get a Wii, the white would match quite nicely. Elite? No thanks. 20 gig hard drive will be more than enough, considering my not downloading HD media of any sort. Way to kinda/sorta try to step into the PS3's territory though, MS. Elite 2.0 will probably do quite nicely.

If you want that you'll need to shell out for the blocky white add on, as apparently the powers at microsoft have decided that isn't coming out in black. Essentialy this an xbox 360 painted and priced to look like a PS3 but without the benefits. Buy a 360 if you like, but if anyone is buying this model over the PS3 they might easily be classed as a Microsoft fanboy.

It's an "all in one" entertainment device. I wish they would release a vista media extender similar to the xbox 360, but without gaming. Maybe we'll get one in time for Christmas later this year?
