just out of curiosity...does the elite come w/an hd drive???...or do you have to buy it for $200???..b/c it has a port doesn't mean it comes w/the hd drive.

He didn't say internal. Yes it comes with the 120 gig hard drive but it is removeable...

This seems to follow MS's previous policy: gradual update rather than one big upgrade (SONY style). So far worked better for them: gained market share from temporarily being ahead of the competition, create more hype (multiple launches). On the flip side, they also create some unhappy customers who just purchased the now 'old' version. I won't buy one now. I'm sure MS will launch an improved version just in time for christmas: they are obviously holding back: integrated HD DVD, Wi-Fi, Bigger Hard Drive, better video card, etc. It's an interesting game they're playing while keeping everyone on etheie toes: what's next and when? Hey... wait a minute.... that's other Steve's Job...

I have and love my 360.
I am playing on a 62' HD Samsung.
WIll my games appear sharper with the Elite HDMI cable or do i need to wait until they make HD games?
For instance I'm playing MotoGP 06 will it improve the graphics?

Thanks,
Duke

Microsoft's new xbox 'elite' as they call it is rushed just to compete with the PS3. It looks crap as well. PS3 is way better in looks and hard drive can be upgraded to more than 120gig. One other thing- they 360 elite still doesn't come with a hd-dvd hi-def player built in, though who wants one; blu-ray is far more ahead. THe xbox 360 elite will still have that horrible power supply as well unlike ps3; it's built in. Xbox losers!

Yes it will look sharper compared to using component but not sure how different it will look compared to VGA.
I currently use VGA and is much sharper than component but some may argue that the colours aren't as deep/bright and has a washed out look.
To be honest I don't see this as a problem as I just up the colour settings on my samsung and you soon forget it looks that way. (also, if you are gonna get the vga cable, get the ms one. I first brought a cheap one and I had pixel doubling.

Hope this helps

Its really funny how after spending $1000 I am not a loser. And yet if I spend $600 I am considered a loser. Oh did I forget to mention that PS3 does not have a HDMI cable, you need to buy it separately. I can completely 'not' understand the logic behind making a system Hi-Def and then forcing people to buy accessories to make use of that feature. Atleast with the new Xbox it provides an HDMI port + cable so I dont have to go looking for a new one. All those who bought a PS3 must really be happy with the only one game that has received any positive reaction. All us Xbox losers have over 150 games to choose from. I guess we are the losers here. Oh and did I fail to mention that for $1000 I can get both an Elite and a Wii.
