Im so damn tired of threads like this

XBOX 360 PREMIUM - $400, 20 gigabyte hard drive, no HDMI, headset, wireless controller, Component/Composite Cables

XBOX 360 Elite- $479, Black, 120 gigabyte hard drive, HDMI with cable, Component/Composit and Cables. Headset. Wireless Controller.

IMO the elite is a better deal 100 more gigs and HDMI for $79 more.

i live in the u.s. and i got an elite a couple days ago!

...it is frikkin ELITE! I LOVE IT.

it runs quite cool at times, is not very loud (except when starting up or loading a game, but that stops after a min) and the drive is quick and noisless (hitachi), but it does heat up discs

I disagree. I have an Elite and it's awesome. The HDMI makes the games look incredible. The HD has so much space on it. The black hardware looks sharp. And most important, it does not over heat and break down like the white ones do.I am very happy with my Elite.

well. You dont need 120 gigabytes on your hardrive for saved games..because most people who beat games, and get the acheivements and whatever, usually get rid of their games, or delete the game save after they are done. you better off with the regular version, because it has everything you need. 20 gigs is more then enough.

But if you got some serious money, then grip the Elite

The thing is, who actually games wireless? Its miserable! What do you mean HD hard drive? I will admit though, as far as hardware, my PS3 was a much better deal than my Elite at $500.

I'm goin to get mine in a few days. It will be the best console out of the three. I will have bought all three at a point. I had the premium which i'm sending in now. I bought the Core and it wouldnt turn on. Three times a charm so the Elite will be great. I can't wait.

Don't waste your time on the Wii for one!

XBOX 360 Elite- $479, Black, 120 gigabyte hard drive, HDMI with cable, Component/Composite and Cables. Headset. Wireless Controller. (Now the problem with this is that if you want your controller to have juice then you have to buy batteries or a rechargeable pack, which cost more $$. The headset is crap and not wireless. There is no Wifi bulit-in and is only an accessory. You have to pay $50 per year to game online. The Backwards Compatibility sucks horribly. Plus there is no HD-player built in and there is only one type of HDD to get and that's MS's....and IMO is a huge rip-off. THE GOOD THING is that you don't have to buy a Headset and you have a bigger HDD. XBL is good too, but IMO should be free...No one should have to pay to play online.)

PS3 60GB- $500, Black, 60GB, Composite Cables, Media Card Readers, Blu-Ray Player, Bluetooth Wireless Controller (USB Cable included), WiFi Built-In, and Free Online Gaming. (The problem with the PS3 is that you have to buy your own HDMI Cable, and Headset, but THE GOOD THING is that you can use any Bluetooth Headset and HDMI cable for what ever your budget might be. You can use up to any 7 Bluetooth devices, Mouse & Keyboard, Mics, Controllers, etc... The HDD can be replaced with any laptop HDD easly. The Controller needs no batteries since it has one built in and the controller has a Lifetime Warranty on it. The Backwards Compatibility is great, it's like 90% of PS1 & PS2 games work.)

None of them are superior because the all have the pros and cons so take your pick.

Hope that helps!

I like it. I ended up buying the Elite. My Premium is in the basement now. I make good money, so it wasn't really a big deal to me. Nice having the extra 100GBs, because I have a craload of stuff on my console. Also easier to set up because I have a 46" LCD TV, and can just hook it up via HDMI with my PS3.
