News - Xbox 360 Elite's future in question?

[HEXUS]

Will Limited Edition Xbox 360 consoles be the way forward for Microsoft?

I wonder how well the limited editions would sell. Has there been any word on the uptake of the Resident Evil package? Didn't MS do this before with Halo 3 and Simpsons a while back? Personally I would rather get the 60GB system and the game for cheaper money in todays climate.

Lets face it - the Resident Evil package looks rubbish. It looks like someones taken some halfords finest spray paint to it themselves. They'll have to do better than that!

Totally agree - this looks like my first case mod (and in the same Rover nightfire red )!

Couldn't agree more. Very dissapointing. I want shiny black to match my PS3 for the 720

The anouncement / rumour seems to have knocked the price of existing stock down a bit though, £189 here.

Is it me or is the black finish on the Elite naff?

[GhostITM]

Well the Elite 360 looks a million times better than any other 360 you can get, and looks great next to my black HDTV, so I'd say it's you.

Naff in what way? It's a black finish.

I thought other models of 360 have got a HDMI lead? So apart from the HDD, what else does the elite offer?

The others have HDMI ports but they don't have HDMI leads included.

I am not a fan of it myself. It looks more grey than black imo. If i was buying a new 360 system today then it would be a white premium.

[Butuz]

Are you colourblind? :S Elites are matt black.

Erm... it's black.

I know it's not a big deal, but it's not grey, almost grey, or more grey than black.. it's black.

I must agree with the previous poster, and suggest you get your mince pies looked at.

As for what the Elite offers - well it has a HDMI port, HDMI lead in the box, 120gb hard drive, and looks the best.

It is, most would agree I think, the 'bestestest' 360.

No

Regardless, I just prefer the white 360.

[mmh]

Interesting style of posting you have my friend, reminds me of someone else...

Mince pies aside you must be able to grasp that I prefer the white 360. The elite does have a little grey about it- I am not alone in this opinion

As for what it offers? Not the issue though really is it? We are talking about the colour of the casing.
