I have a premium 360 with HDDVD ad on. I have about 6 gigs left on my HDD. Okay this is my two option I have been thinking. Option #1 is to buy the 120gig HDD, VGA cable (supposably will up-convert regular DVD's). Total cost is about $225. Or option #2 is to buy the Elite 360. Total cost is about $500. I know some will say go cheaper route, I am also looking for the best way to up-convert regular DVD's and for the best experience. I have a 40 inch LCD HDTV that is 720p/1080i. I would like to see what other people think. Any information will be appreciated and taken into consideration. ThanksArmy_VeteranI would you suggest you delete those useless demos and other junk you have on the 360. You can up convert dvds with the VGA cable and HDMI will not make the world of difference.

I did delet somethings, but The other reason why I feel like I would need a bigger HDD, is witht he upcomming IPTV, also like Oblivion had expansion pack now, I think that is going to start to get big and more games will be doing that. Also the size of Arcade game has been raised, so with my Arcade habbit I might be felling up the 20 gig fast.

Do you have fiber optic internet and what makes you think you will want to switch to IPTV? Plus this is not due until the end of the year. I have a few stuff on my 360 and still have over 10gigs. i think the extra size is only useful for those that buy plenty of those tv shows and nothing else. The 360 can stream music and pictures so there is also no reason to keep those on the hard drive.[QUOTE="Deihmos"][QUOTE="Army_Veteran"]I have a premium 360 with HDDVD ad on.

I would personally go with option #1 because the Elite is only cosmetically different with basically a couple throw ins. Unless your 360 is acting up or you just have to have a black one, there is no real upgrade and you can purchase that stuff outside of the bundle and save yourself some money for something else. ;)

I'd say give the VGA cable a try by itself, see if it make a improvment (sometime I hear it can make the pic actually grainier). Then just wait on IPTV comes out to see if you want to jump to that and the elite or bigger HD depending on if you satisfied with teh VGA cable. Technicaly the only reason you need the elite is the Hard Drive cause all you have is a 1080i screen (not that thats bad cause thats what I got too). My plan is to pick up a elite in a few years when the price of both 1080p screen and elite have droped.[QUOTE="Army_Veteran"][QUOTE="Deihmos"][QUOTE="Army_Veteran"]I have a premium 360 with HDDVD ad on.

Yes I stream the pictures and the music I play is through my iopd. Which I really like that the 360 is in sync with my pc. I forgot to say, I have downloaded a lot of the shows to, that Is another thign that has eaten up mu HDD. I know I could delete and re download if I wanna re watch. I could save lots of money buy doing just that. Ill have to take than into consideration. i do not have fiber, but I do have internet speed of 5 to 6 Mbps. I would only want IPTV if it is all bradcast in HD. That would be the only reason, I heard somewhere it will be all in HD.
