Xbox 360 Elite?

[Edifice]

It appears MS is realeasing a souped up xbox 360 system called Xbox 360 Elite.

WTF is the point of that?

Supposedly a bigger HD and built in HD DVD support are it's new features.

Why don't they just call it Xbox 360 Second Edition?

The bigger hard drive is useful for all the content they serve up in the US.

There is no builtin HD DVD support. They did add HDMI support though. This is useful if you have a display that supports HDMI.

The black looks a lot better than the white.

Yeah, but its priced close to the PS3 and doesn't even have an HD DVD drive. Its not worth the money in my opinion. The upgrade to a 120GB hard drive is nice and so is the change in colour but its not worth the increase in price. The HDMI output is well and good, but it seems added on and won't really enhace the console without an HD DVD player.

They should have simply come out with a black and white version of the original xbox 360 when it was released this way you had a choice.

Why the white initially?

Are they really trying to be like Apple nowadays? Just look at Windows Vista....it's a ripoff of the MacOS X GUI if you ask me.
