I currently do not own a Xbox 360 but i am planning on getting one.  I live in the UK and the 360 Elite has not got a release date yet?

 

Shall I:

 A: Wait and get the Xbox 360 Elite

 B: Go and get a Xbox 360 normal

 C: Get the Elite when Halo 3 comes out  

 D: Get the normal when Halo 3 comes out

 

thanks for the help

It all depends on whether you need HDMI or not. If you don't need HDMI output, then you might as well go for the current model.

depends on what you use your 360 for.

my 20gb hard drive is getting close to full now. SO if u use the HD alot u might want the extra 100GB of space.

ALSO if u have 1080p(which most games dont support yet anyways) then the HDMI output is also a bonus.

For only $50 more than the PRO kit its definately worth it. and i like the black finish as well.

Bear in mind that the Video Marketplace hasn't launched in the UK yet and is unlikely to do so for quite some time to come, it kind of makes the 120GB hard drive pointless for now, so the option of HDMI output should really be your deciding factor.

It depends on if your willing to wait a few months. I'd say wait for the Elite because once it's out in the states it will only be about a month till it's out here. they try to keep release dates as close together as they can now days so people don't get imports. Just make sure you don't change your mind and get one of them new shiny black george forman look-a-likes

The elite is the bigger drive and HDMI and the black finish.  To me the big update will be if Microsoft ever puts the smaller and potitenally cooler operating chip in the 360 as well as the better optical drive which it sounds like is starting to show up and the rumored improved fan not only for heat extraction but noise reducation as well.  To me that will be when I upgrade my 360, the elite isn't enough for me to do it.

If you'd utilize HDMI and like the black finish and plan on downloading lots of extra content (movies, tv shows for money), then get Elite

Go and get a normal 360.

 

HDMI is good, but it's only worth it if you've got a 1080p TV.

The bigger HD you can buy separately.
