if you exchange your xbox then you will lose everything on the harddrive, besides 20 gigs is enough for me. I don't download any movies and the demos i usually only play once to see if the game is good. maybe eventually, but not for a while.
How can we exchange it? I dont think MS will just let us do that. Unless you mean taking it back were you bought it, and I just dont see a lot of peopel doing that.
Yeah, EB or Gamestop are going to have to have trade in deals if they want to sell this thing. Like maybe trade in your console and 5 xbox 360 games for an elite......I dont know if I see this happening but it would be smart on there part.

yeah u have to take it where u bought it n then give them ur old one and get Elite and pay some extra for the new system
I remeber whe the first xbox dropped in price and everyone went mad about it, they offered everyone who bought one at launch (me included) £100 worth of stuff as compensation, they even delivered it to your door. All i'm going to say is they better offer me something like this. I want Fedex or whoever to arrive at my door and do a straight swap, my 360 for the elite, i'll get the HDD later if i need it, which i dont because I use my pc. If this doesn't happen then we've all took one for the team and given MS support that they just took, rather than earnt.
if i can exchange it for free with my warranty why not? its extra stuff i probably will never use but if its free ill take it lol if not im fine with what i have :P

Think Im just gonna get the bigger HDD. Reading gamespots article, they said that for current 360 owners its the best way to go, because market place stuff is connected to not only your profile, but the console and DL content wont work unless connected to the internet, which I have that problem anyway because my current console isnt my original due to crashes and a lot of my DL content works that way now.
Im stil dissapointed though because paying 179.00 for an overpriced HDD is now putting my cost way over what I paid for my PS3, but I need the space. I just hate this whole Elite crap. The premium was good enough, why not just make it in black? I thought MS didnt care about HDMI? Why does a 360 120GB HDD have to be so much when I can get a 200 GB laptop HDD for my PS3 for less? I just dont get it.

Nope. i want it i wont lie! but nahh i also want if anything i'll get the HDD but for that much money....to heck with it im just keeping it the way it is.
Nope, keeping the old one. I have a pc for downloading all kinds of crap. Besides 20 gb is more than enough for all savegames, xbla games, some music and a couple of demo's. Besides I use a computer lcd monitor as screen so I don't need hdmi anyway.
if i can exchange it for free with my warranty why not? its extra stuff i probably will never use but if its free ill take it lol if not im fine with what i have :PSTABW0UND
will keep my premium. I don't need HDMI, component is fine for me as I dont have a 1080p tv or the HD Dvd drive and I live in the UK where we can't download tv episodes etc so the 20Gb HDD is plenty big enough for me.
I have no need for an Elite. And seeing as I live in Europe, where we don't have Video Marketplace yet, I have no need to upgrade my HDD either, at least in the foreseeable future. The only thing I plan on getting will be a black wireless controller to go along with my white ones.

You know this whole thing really makes me mad. I just put a 120GB drive in my PS3 for 70 bucks....What the heck are they thinking. 180$ is insane, it's just a regular drive in a freaken proprietary enclosure. While I could care less about the downloadable HD content some of these games coming, especially the MMOs are gonna have insane hard drive requirements (Conan, Huxley, the rumored FF...). Add to that the bigger Arcade games and 20GB isn't gonna cut it... I used to really think my 360 was a supperior machine to my PS3, especially for the price. Not so sure anymore... This pricing is just wrong.

How would you do it with your warranty?? if it breaks and a new version came out i get $500 towards it. (not the microsoft warranty the gamestop extended plan)

yeah i want a black controller too im going to get the black setup on mine with a black controller and a black shell and eventually headset :P
Even though I'm a UK gamer and we haven't got Video Marketplace yet, I would upgrade to the Elite if I got the chance. The only issue for me would be what would happen to the Extended Warranty I've got for my current unit?

The only issue for me would be what would happen to the Extended Warranty I've got for my current unit? it would probably void and thats not worth it so i would wait until the warranty is up before i do a thing.

after i get my black shell and controller im going to get a wii then after that maybe the 120gb hddSTABW0UND
my friend has a wii and i really dont like it i only like zelda on it i hate the controlls and everything else sorry but thats just what i think i might get ps3 later
I like my 360 over VGA which upconverts SD DVD's so HDMI is not needed in my case. The 120gb HDD would be nice but $180 is a joke. So I'm keeping it the way it is.

Would it be wise to just save up for the elite if you've never owned a 360? i wanna get a 360 either premium or eilite.....but i don't know if i should save up over 500 bucks for JUST the console.
I download demos, game videos, movies, & TV shows all the time and still have plenty of room on my 20GB HD right now. Although I would like to have the bigger HD right now I don't really need it and either way I don't think I will pay that much for it anyways. So, I will stick with the original prem. console because I can get by fine with just 20 GB, the HDMI connection isn't really a big deal, and I could care less about have a black colored console instead of white because either way I would have a skin put on it.

if u dont have a 360 and planning on buying one i would recommend u buy the Elite. But if u already have premium like me then just upgrade to HDD if u need to
I will definitely be buying the new version but not for any of the reasons that the typical consumer is. I will admit the HDMI and larger hard-drive features are awesome but since day one my biggest issue with the console hasn't been video quality or hard-drive space, it has been noise!
Â
The 360 now is extremely loud and runs exceedingly hot. This new unit was rumored to have a diff manufacturer for the disc drive which should alleviate some of those noises and the scratching issue, and although I have yet to see it in print for the new Elite, I'm hoping they actually ended up using smaller chip (from 90nm to 65nm). So long as the unit has both of these features, I'm sold.
If anything I will maybe get the bigger HDD at some point. I could really care less about HDMI right now since the TV my 360 is played on isn't HD and it will probably be the last of the 3 TVs that I have that gets upgraded. I am happy with my current 360 and don't see the need to go spend the money on the "Elite" version. If I am goign to spend that much I will end up buying a PS3 that way I have all 3 systems.Â
As for the HDD it is a nice option, but I still have over half of the space still available on the original HD that I won't have to worry about running out of space anytime soon.  So if I do upgrade my HDD it probably won't be for a while.Â
My tv has an HDMI input and I wont be upgrading. The only way I would upgrade is if they changed there xbl policy of paid content registering to the console so I wont lose my xbl content I've paid for. I refuse to stay connected to live just to play a game that I can play offline.
component=hdmi. One is digital, one is analog...trust me, you won't see a difference. Unless you had two of the same 62"+ lcd screens, two 2 hundred dollar gold cables, and the same exact electronic system playing the same movie/game sitting side by side would you only notice (maybe) a SLIGHT difference. People blow the whole "hdmi is better than component" thing out of proportion. hdmi is only good for the image constraint token which is not applied to all hd movies. Besides, it's easily cracked anyway.
