Not really.  Neither of those things would increase my enjoyment of the games a whole lot.

Unless the hard drive allowed you to download VC games from newer consoles...  Like Saturn games, for instance.

why would I? devs would need to support it and it's not going to do as well as the regular wii so they won't bother.

No. The reason I am not going to buy a Wii is that it only has one game that appeals to me: SSBB.

dont have HD. may get one within a year or two but not going to enhance my enjoyment by much. i dont even use my 360 on HD, i use it on a projector that isn't very good from a distance, and in fact makes it look worse but i dont complain. much that is cause i still need to read sometimes.

I'd rather they just allow me to plug a external HDD into one of the USB. I have a 40 GB one anyway.

It depends if the Harddrive lets me download different games, also I don't have an HDtv but I might buy it I might give my family the one I already have if this is Real, because they want one.

No, because it would destroy Nintendo's philosophy of gameplay> graphics.

$250 is a rip off, never mind $350. 720p, the games barely look good on SD resolution, I dont need to look at terrible graphics in high definition.

I'm going to judge this thread with that you're upset with the Elite. And to answer your question, no. Not worth the money -if- you already have one. If not sure, why not. But say goodbye to the early adapters who get screwed over.

One of the few. Which is good to see. It's just that if you already have a 360 Prem, why settle for an elite? HDMI is more for movies, which doesn't support. As the PR guy said in the Major Nelson podcast the other, he couldn't tell the different between the two (component/HDMI). So then that got me thinking "Okay. Then why in hades DID you put HDMI? Because the PS3 does? People other people say so? C'mon. Microsoft isn't that dumb, right? They could of researched the difference between the two. In all honesty, I think they did it just for that. To match the PS3. But again, it screws over the 10+ million users the 360 has now. And that includes me. So I guess we all are going to wait to see if MS gives us a good upgrade package. If not, oh well. 360 is suppose to be a game console, right?

HD graphics - The difference between SD and HD is minimal on graphics of that calibur. They aren't developed to a high reolution anyway, so there is absolutely no point in 720p support.

20GB HDD - Again, no point. Saves and the old Virtual Console games take up barely more than a few MB each. Also, due to the lack of massive HD files, we won't be seeing things like 1.5GB sized downloadable demos. I'll be happy with using a 2GB SD card when I get my Wii.

I love it. The controls take some getting used to but once you do it's an experience in speed, challenge, and sheer enjoyment.

 I would, but I already have the Wii. I wouldn't fork out another 350 for it. 720 would be good, seeing as I had this massive 60" TV owning my living room. The hard drive not so much. I can get by with the memory cards, and what not from GC and the other kind. The saves aren't even big enough, so I'm good with that. 20GB HDD isn't so great considering there aren't a whole lot of games, and content to be downloaded. Until music and video can be uploaded/downloaded, I'm fine with my 512.
