Real Elite Pictures

Nice pics, thanks! I think it looks pretty but why didn't MS come out with the 360 elite along with the other 2? I would have bought this one if I had the chance. Also, why didn't they make it black to begin with too? The Elite looks beautiful in the black IMO. Why did they go with the white on the 360? Ugh...

Does anyone know if MS will have a trade in option for those of us who the bought the other 360 consoles?

I am surprised by how many votes the Wii got.
I thought the gaming console market might one day end up being a two player fight, sony vs microsoft.

Im not surprised, but I am surprised how many votes the overpriced paperweight has (PoS3)

The other 2 systems have more worthwhile games on there and cost the same as 1 PoS3 system. Id rather get 2 systems then 1:P
 
Ok I have to say that I'm now using my PS3 more with the release of Armored Core 4. If anyone has a PS3 please download the demo and you will be hooked.

Is that the game where you cruise around in a robot and blow up stuff? (to put it simply) haha. I love the game. is so fun and probably one of my favourite games

Haha yes it is! I've never been a fan of the mech titles but this one I just can't put down. It's challenging but still a ton of fun.
 
Maybe i'm over-reacting, but i was contemplating getting a 360 right up until the Elite was announced. As soon as i heard that MS were renewing their console this soon i started thinking: Whats to stop them bringing out another, better 360 next year, or the year after? In my opinion it's just a pathetic attempt to compete with PS3. I mean, a lick of paint and a pointlessly huge hard drive, why didn't they just do that to begin with? And lest we forget, the HD-DVD drive is still sold seperately! For shame

I don't think that should change your choice to buy an Xbox 360. Will you buy a PS3 or Wii now? What is stopping Nintendo or Sony from releasing a renewed version of their console? You don't know what they are going to do. MS just did it first, was it their best idea? Probably not, will people buy it? Hells yea.

I see what you're saying but I just don't like the way in which the Elite is an obvious 'after-thought' by MS. It's as if MS spun a great deal of lies like: "20GB is more than enough for an average gamer" and "Nobody needs HDMI" just so they could sucker millions of fans into buying the first wave of consoles, only to come back a year or so later and say "Your not using that old thing are you? What you want is one of these newer consoles. That'll be $500 please." I just think it's a slap in the face to loyal Xbox users. Oh and to prove i have no bias, I have no intention of getting the PS3 or Wii instead.
 
What's funny is everyone criticized Sony after the PS2 was released because the XBOX featured all the things Sony didn't initially (IE. HDD, etheret) But now as they criticize sony for their Price but all things considered to get a comparable set up to the PS3 you're going to spend $779.

$479 XBox elite (to gain HDMI, I know the HDD is larger), $100 (WiFi Connector, because MS couldn't include it in the system), $200 HD-DVD add-on (And it doesn't have HDMI output to your TV. It just seems as though the extra time Sony spent is going to cause less periferal spending for us.

I like the fact Sony made it EASY to replace the existing HDD with any 2.5" drive. They don't use a proprietary case as the XBOX does.
 
quick question. how good is the online gaming on ps3? also i have the money to get either. what should i get. ps3 or 360?
 
At the moment, PS3 online is meant to be inferior to Xbox Live, especially considering the news that Live might get MSN Messenger very soon. Having said that, PS3 Online is completely free. However, online isn't everything, you'll want to consider all the factors before deciding on which one is right for you.

I totally agree with you. I won't be buying an Elite unless they give me $400 for my Xbox 360 Premium that I bought a year ago. I think we should be compensated for buying the initial consoles which is what MOVED 360's this holiday season. Shame on you MS.

Online gaming with the PS3 is just ok. It's nothing spectacular. It's no different from the 360 IMO. However the Playstation store to download demos and extra content is just plain awful. It takes about 2 weeks for like 2 demos and a movie trailer to come out. Most of the time the demos are not very good and it takes forever to download and then INSTALL them. Yes you have to install a demo to the hd which takes almost as long to download the darn thing. It's frustrating.

The 360 gaming is just like any other online gaming. There's no difference. However the Xbox Live store and content is fantastic. I usually see new demos for games about every few days along with a ton of movie trailers, TV shows, game content, game videos, and other things like red vs. blue. It just blows away the PS3's store.

But if you're talking about gaming online in general, there really is no difference except the 360 gives you a headset with the premium console which is great. Ypu an use a bluetooth headset on the ps3 but I haven't tried it out yet.
 
I completely agree with everything you are all saying. MS is ripping people off, they make a good product and intend to haggle every penny they can out of it. They are in the business of making money, and they tend to know what they are doing.

I own a PS3, Xbox 360, and Wii (while I have almost no time to play) and at first, I had a good view of all of them.

But recently, I have faded away from using my PS3. There are no games on it comparable to something like Gears of War. And it's not like I use it soley for online play, becuase I have an Xbox 360 for that.

And when my friends are over, and we want to have a good time. There is nothing better than the Wii.
