  Summary: I have already been through 2 360's due to the 3 flashing Red lights? Did Microsoft fix the problem in the elite? If not then I'm gonna just take my chances with the pro again.

  ehhh...not impressed

  by dbtwin28 on May 14, 2007

  Pros: HDMI, Black exterior, Bigger Hard drive

  Cons: Still falls short of 60Gb PS3

  Summary: I'm sure some will not agree with my "Cons" but when you don't consider available games, PS3 is a much better system out of the box.

  I figured Microsoft would try to top Sony and match or exceed PS3, but the elite has a lower grade HDMI, digital optical out not built in, HUGE external power supply, problematic HD DVD add on, still NO WiFi connect.

  Summary: This is a way for Microsoft to try to keep up with Sony. Why pay $500 and still not be able to watch HD DVD's? And releasing it in black, come on. Why try to be like a Playstation system, first you map out the controller like a dualshock and now coloring your system to look like a PS3.

  Xbox 360 [Elite]

  by Clockpuppet on April 30, 2007

  Pros: HDMI Support/Improved Heat Resistance/Bigger HDD

  Cons: Still Noisy/Still Has Ginormous Brick Power Supply/Mediocre DVD Drive

  Summary: This is just a slightly improved version of the original 360, sporting HDMI support [cable in box], a generous epoxy coating around the cpu/gpu to prevent the BGA connection from popping loose when the board warps[Result: Red "Ring of Death"], and the obvous bigger hard drive. The color change, while officially being called "Black Matte", comes off as more of a dull black or dark grey and has a slightly cheap look to it, though it should still blend better with most existing home theater components than the "iPod white" of the original. Also notable is the fact that the controller and system are different shades of black. A worthwhile buy if you don't have one, and worth trading in for if you do. Thought it doesn't have all of the features of the PS3, and it's share of shortcomings, with the polished state of Xbox live and the plentiful selection of games[Not to mention cross platform gameplay emerging] the elite is giving Microsoft a more decided edge over Sony. I admire their[Sony]free live use, and the system is definitely a powerhouse of features and processing capability, but they need to do a major overhaul of their online gameplay, and score some big titles to really compete with the 360. With Sales falling behind even that of the Wii it is getting lots of negative press, but I'm sure Sony still has an ace or two up it's sleeve. A white PS3 "God Version" perhaps? I can't wait to see how it plays out.

  This is the way it should be

  Summary: Consoles, like PCs, should be updated more often. It's ridiculous to wait 5-10 years between updates. Sony has actually been quoted as saying the have a life expectency for the PS3 of 10 years. 10 years! What a dumb thing. Technology changes at the speed of light. I applaud Microsoft for updating their system already and I hope they do it again in another 2 years and every 2 years after that. Know about Moore's law? Well, it's always held true and if it continues to be the case, in just 3 years, there will be technology cheaply available enough to blow away any console out today - and Sony wants the PS3 to sell for 10 years before they update it again. Just bad. At the same time, Microsoft should do away with their $299 system and drop the price of the $399 system to $329 and then price the elite at $399. At this stage in the game, they can't be losing much money on making the console. They are probably breaking even or making money. They should not worry yet about making money. Make the system affordable to not just keep the lead over PS3, but to grow it and catch Wii. So, I do think they are making a mistake here. At $479, it is too close to the PS3 pricing now. Toss in the $199 HD DVD player and it exceeds the PS3. So, they are too close for comfort there. After 2 years on the market, it's time for a price drop...

  Summary: The reason there coming out with the Elite is because hdmi was finished yet. They could put it out cause it would puh the launch date so far back. People should have seen a new xbox 360 coming out, since everyone is talking about how the dont have hdmi. When the Xbo 360 comes out, then the PS3 is done for! The games are horrible and you'll have to wait a long time for a ok release. Xbox 360 has one of the best games ever! Its called Halo. ever heared of it? What does Playstation have? Oh yea it has Grand Theft Auto. Wait no it doesn;t cause it is releasing on Xbox 360 and PS3! Grand Theft Auto will be PS3's first "good game." But you will have to wait until October for it.
  
  Then there is Blu-Ray vs. HD-DVD. Both really good. The Blu-ray is going to last. its going to drop a lot in price cause no one wants to pay for it and the dvd are $35+ for one dvd. That what sony ishoping so they dont lose millions of dollars for putting blu-ray in the PS3. Plus when it does go down there will better something newer and better and the blu-ray will be another fad.
  
  The Hdmi is great, but for the full use of 1080p you need to spend thousands on a tv and the technology is even there. 1080P wont last either. There already coming out with tv's that are better then plasma's and LCD tv's. Thats why the price are dropping!
  
  The XBOX 360 is a better buy. double the storage then a ps3. Plugging directly in the back for internet connection is faster then wi-fi. and blu-ray is going to last.
