With Boxing Day sales in Canada I'm really tempted to buy a 360, just not sure which.

Elite or Pro?

I'm probably just going to buy it for exclusives, doubt I'll play online much. I really like the Elite cause it's black but I don't see the point in dropping an extra $100 for black, and additional space that I probably won't use (use my PS3 to watch videos, etc).

Anyways my one concern is that the Pro dirties. Does the white controller dirty easily or can it withstand dirt with some wiping down?

Thanks!

Go with the pro and just keep it dust free,wash your hands,and yes a good wiping is more than enough to clean most of it.

If you have an hdtv and are planning on downloading demos, movies etc. from the 360 then I recommend just getting the elite since it comes with an hdmi cable ( costs 50-60 seperate) plus it has the gigs(an extra 120 or so seperate) for future downloads that won't cluter in the near future.

Demos are never really that big and the pro has 60 GB. Also there's a site that sells HDMI cords dirt cheap. Plus he's going to use his PS3 for movies.

I picked up HDMI cords for my PS3 for like $10 lol, my only real concern with Pro is the colour.

Thanks for the help lol. Also thanks for reading my whole post so you understood it all, about the PS3, etc =P I'm still hesitent on the 'more than enough to clean' part. Argh, if they only made a 60 GB Black ='( Anyways I'm going to think this through some more, not sure if I want to drop $400+ for 3 games (Halo 3, Gears, Gears 2). Thanks for the help though.

I have a Pro 360 and so far the color has held up really well. I would definitely not recommend spending an extra $100 on an Elite just to get it black - if you're that worried about color just get a faceplate and console skin of your choosing instead. It would be much cheaper and there's a lot of options.

I'm most worried about the controller, I'm pretty sure the console will hold up. It's just that I don't want my controller to turn 'piss yellow' in a way lol. Any other recommendations?

Don't get the Elite, it's a huge rip off. Just go with the Pro one. I've had my controller for almost a year now and it still looks really white and doesn't have any stains on it or nothing.

Pro is enough, now that it comes with 60gb. And Future shop is giving Halo 3 and stranglehold with them tomorrow.

I've had my same 360 Pro (20gb LOL) since mid 2006, and my controller looks next to new. I've downloaded demos, expansion packs etc, and still have 7gb or so left. Ive had the original unit sent out once to Microsoft for repair. I'd highly recommend the Pro, for $299 its a great machine.
