Xbox 360 Elite..........
- Thread starter Carnage
- Start date
It said 50,000 blocks. Remember? The specs were 8GB. I suspect it was more though because I had a shit load of music on it and still had 50,000+ block left. I stopped worrying about it and just ripped more music. But I said I would use this one the same way. ike I said, for those that wanted, now they have another option.trekei said:
Nah, I probably won't, but if I do decide to get the Elite, here's what I'll do:
Take 360 back to Costco (where I bought it at)
Say it's not loading up games (shit already happened once)
Costco gives me a gift card for the price of the 360 bundle I originally bought (to replace the 360)
I use that the cop the Elite, pay whatever difference it is (30-40 bucks tops)
But like others have said, it's really not that serious to get right now.

You have to keep them there to play them right? Right.freaky_1 said:
I delete them and many other things including the bullshit music and movies put on the drive by MS but what if I didnt want to delete them? is 12gb a whole lot of space to you considering the lifespan of the console? I have my 5 yr old ps2 and it still works. How fuckin tiny will that drive seem in another year?
How does your xbox(non-360) and streaming music apply when neither involve your own hard drive on the 360?
Ever try to save a playlist you made on your 360 using an external drive or using streamed media? The piece of shit wont let you. Microshaft crippled functionality on shit that aint ripped to the hard drive.
The bigger hard drive was totally necessary and the bigger one is still too small. A brand new 2007 game console that can double as a media center and download hd video content and you think a 20gb drive is fine? Cmon man
And wait til that iptv thing jumps off, is it supposed to have tv recording capabilities? If so that drive starts looking a helluva lot smaller.
Yeah I delete most demos right away since they are so crippled or if I dont like them. I still only have like 7gb free and only have 4 or 5 demos.trekei said:
I dont buy games in the marketplace either if I did I'd be really pissed too. There are a whole bunch of scenarios where that drive looks tiny IMO.
Sure its fine if you dont do much but if you try to get your money's worth out of it you can hit a wall quickly.

The Elite is a Benz with the same engine as the Toyota Camry that MS sells for $399. The extra bucks are for the bigger trunk space. But if I already have a Camry that fake ass Benz is no good to me.
And besides, upscaling games to 1080p isn't the same as a game that's made to play at 1080p. That's like cats looking for hi def cables for a Wii, it ain't worth the few extra bucks when what you're getting isn't enough of an increase in quality.
Let me see some real 1080p games on the 360 (which is damn near nonexistent right now) then I'll be able to say buying the same system over again is justified. Right now, there's no reason.
hey dont be mad at me. I kinda thought this new 360 elite would be more reliable than the other 360's. I really thought MS fixed all the problems and added the larger hard drive and added the HDMI port. It turns out ALL they did was put in a larger drive and HDMI, it still has the same defects as the regular 360. I'm just trying to give yall a heads up before you plunk down nearly 500 or trade in your old one. You would feel really bad if you traded in a working 360 for a defective elite.

You ain't never lied partner! People would be plum craZy to buy another xbox when they already have one. Shit there isn't much difference with when it comes to component and hdmi. In my experience components pushes red a little bit more. But truthfully all microsoft is doing is gambling on the elite. They want to be able to say nobody wants a blu-ray ps3 they just want the hdmi connections, etc etc. Only time will tell.

Xbox 360 Xenos GPU shrinks to 65nm this fall
We know the 65nm version of Xenon, the Xbox 360's triple-core CPU, had been delayed from Q1 2007 to "mid-2007," just missing being used in the Xbox 360 Elite, making irony the system's most prominent feature. But the CPU isn't the only thing getting shrunk: DigiTimes reports that the Xbox 360 will be equipped with a 65nm Xenos GPU this fall as well, with production of the new graphics chips scheduled for May. For those of you on the fence about the Elite, a newer, cooler, and cheaper (to manufacture) Xbox 360 should be here in the fall. The question: wait or jump in?

The only thing worth it is the 120gig HD they should have had available when it launched the first time. Secondly and most important is the migration CD-tool included with the hd that will allow you to transfer your shit from the 20 to the 120. That better work flawlessly!
regarding the transfer. its a one time transfer. once you transfer from the 20 to the 120 it deletes the data from the 20. cant go backwards either. also if the xbox craps out during the transfer data will be lost on both drives.TheProfessional said:
even though my tv does 1080p and has 2 hdmi ports. i'm going to get the vga cable instead when the spring update is released.
then in the fall when they add the better dvd drives to the 360 (which the elite does not have) i'll take my 360 to gamestop and tell them it doesnt work trade it in for that model.
done deal.

Some Xbox360 Elite Consoles have BenQ DVD-Drive
>> While we've already seen reports of Hitachi-LG (v78 or v79) DVD-drives found in Xbox360 Elite consoles, apparently Microsoft is also using the new BenQ VAD6038 ODD on some of their Elite production lines.Earagon22 posted a picture of his Xbox360 Elite console with BenQ drive on the xbox.com forums.
