CNET editors' review
Microsoft Xbox 360 Elite (120GB) price range: $200.00
- Reviewed by: John Falcone
- Reviewed on: 04/27/2007
- Released on: 04/29/2007
The good: Excellent selection of games, including many 360-only exclusives; all games are in native high-definition; user-friendly Dashboard interface; supports wireless controllers and accessories; Xbox Live service offers online multiplayer (with matchmaking and voice chat) and content downloads for most games; backward compatible with many--but not all--original Xbox titles; doubles as a superior digital media hub and Windows Media extender; online Marketplace allows easy purchases of minigames, add-on gaming content, high-def movies, and TV shows.
The bad: The Elite fails to correct most of the annoyances of the original 360 version: the noisy DVD drive and cooling fan; a gigantic, oversize power supply; no built-in wireless networking; only three USB ports; a substandard DVD player; online gaming requires a paid subscription to Xbox Live; proprietary wireless format limits third-party accessories.
The bottom line: While it's neither a must-have upgrade for existing 360 owners nor as feature-packed as the PS3, the Xbox 360 Elite's combination of top-notch gaming and digital media features make it the current game console of choice.

What's with Microsoft all of a sudden?
by blingballa on April 3, 2007
Pros: 120 GB Hard Drive/Black exterior
Cons: It doesn't quite cut it, it should have come out before

Summary: The new elite has got people talking, but now the Premium XBOX360 owners such as myself, are feeling bad that we own one. I mean why didn't MS do this from the start? I really don't recommend this to anyone, just buy an external HDD, they are cheaper than buying the system itself. It is overall pretty good, but it really shouldn't be released after almost 2 years.

A unnecessary review about a very minor update...
by softwiz on May 1, 2007
Pros: Larger HD, HDMI Port, HDMI Cable
Cons: Lacks HD Optical Drive and Migration Data Cable.
Summary: Aside from the obviously larger HD, there's no reason to re-review this product since no enough has changed IMO.
The HD output will likely not be significantly iimproved in ...Summary: Aside from the obviously larger HD, there's no reason to re-review this product since no enough has changed IMO.
The HD output will likely not be significantly iimproved in this "Elite" edition since the component cable (and option VGA cable) were already capable of doing 1080p.
"Dude, it's digital now and HDMI's just like better.", I hear some of you say.
This just says to me that you have allowed the marketing of the movie / game industry to convince you of that. It's better "for them", not you because it's now easier to control you and the content.
MS should have included the (otherwise free for the asking) data migration cable for those upgrading from Premium. Since they aren't charging for it anyway, it would have been a nice gesture toward existing 360 owners.
WARNING: Live purchases CANNOT be played offline after transfer (requires migration cable) from a premium or core unit. There is no known workaround at time.
In addition (a minor nick-pick), it would have compared more favorably to the PS3 if they could have bundled it together with the HD-DVD add-on.
Lastly, I'm uncertain about who MS was targeting with this unit. New customer, existing customers or both ? It would seem best suited to "new" customers than anything else.1 out of 3 users found this user opinion helpful.

Summary: Microsoft really has to step it up. Playstation has a built in blu-ray player, which really gives it an advantage. If you want to play online, pay 100 bucks for the wireless adapter and 50 dollars for live. That 150$. Which the PS3, this is all free. The Xbox just can't compete.

Summary: While the PS3 may have a nicer console from a hareware perspective, the 360 beats it from a user experience factor. Xbox Live is well worth $50 a year. While the PS online is free - it sucks so who cares.

Summary: PS3 is so much nicer looking, so much more streamlined and has Blu-ray, true wireless and Bluetooth. Use my cell phone Plantronics 220 Bluetooth headset for online gaming. Used my Logitech keyboard and hooked up to my Linksys router (no cables). All that is on my PS3 is an HDMI cable and a power cord (no huge power brick). Blu-ray DVD movies look awesome. XBOX better start making some genuine hardware improvements like HDMI 1.3+,wireless and off the shelf hard drives. Basically the PS3 is just a superior piece of hardware. If you don't mind buying everything separate then get an XBOX360$$. When the PS3 games start comming out(soon)the XBOX360 technology will not be able to keep up. This is true with high def games. Blu-ray can store upwards of 50gig per disk. The games will be mind blowing.
