whats the difference between xbox360 and xbox360 elite?

[arif7]

can any1 tell me the difference? i want to get a xbox 360 but not sure what one to get, not sure how much difference there is in 360 and 360 elite!

The Elite has larger hard disk (120Gb as opposed to 60Gb), comes in a black colour as opposed to white, and includes a HDMI cable in the box.

o rite might just go with 360, i seen a good deal on play.com for it, sure i can get a HDMI cable cheap, i wont need 120gb either and colour doesnt bother me. Thanks

When you say 360, I assume you mean premium. Because if you mean the Arcade that only comes with a 512Mb memory card as opposed to a hard drive.

[arif7]

ye i mean premium, on play.com they are doing:

Xbox 360 Premium Console with 60GB HDD + Gears Of War 2 + Fallout 3 + PES 2009 all for £180

[samcross]

Good deal
Enjoy it

Also, another difference with the 360 and the 360 elite, is that the elite comes with a new cpu, and chipset, along with a better cooling solution, so you have a much less chance of getting a RROD

No it doesn't, depending on when they were made, the chipsets are exactly the same in all incarnations of the 360. (That may not make sense)

Shouldn't that be 'Depending on when they were made, the chipsets may be exactly the same.'

And, as I be looking at 360s myself, to go with the new monitor (which can be adapted so that it will display them ), does anyone know if prices are going to be cut any time soon? Within the next few months that is.

Arcade is awesome, Premium is awesomer and the Elite is the awesomest, simple as that

And gaming PC trumps all.

Until you want to play Halo 3 that is.

if you dont mind all the inconvienience that comes with it!

edit
Although it has to be said, the xbox360 is the most inconvienient games console i have ever owned! what with its problems and my constant need 2 want to buy something else for it, issues with noise etc etc.
