LYCOS RETRIEVER 
Xbox 360: Xbox 360 Elite
built 185 days ago
The Xbox 360 Elite is the fourth and most expensive variation of the console. It is priced at US$449.99 and includes a 120GB hard drive and a matte black finish. The Elite retail package ... includes an HDMI 1.2 cable and a controller and headset that match the system's black finish.[22] The initial release price was US$479.99,[23] C$549.99,[23] £299.99, and AU$729.95. The Elite was released in Europe on August 24, 2007, and Australia on August 30, 2007. Holiday 2007 consoles, with packaging labeled "Go Big", were bundled with Ultimate Alliance and Forza Motorsport 2.[21] This bundle has since then been discontinued.[9] Early Elite models shipped using the Zephyr motherboard, though newer models now use the Falcon 65nm chipset instead. These Elites (and other Xbox 360 models using the Falcon) can be identified from earlier versions by a re-designed power connector and a power supply that runs at 175w.

The Xbox 360 Elite has a larger hard drive, a prettier package and an HDMI-out option. Enough to justify upgrading? No. But if you're in the market for a new console, this is a no-brainer.

The Xbox 360 Elite is probably not the most sensible purchase for someone who already owns an Xbox 360. Unless you are into blinged-out consoles — and truth be told, it's not that blinged out — or you just have to have an HDMI-out, most current owners should probably steer clear.

In a recent discussion, a friend wondered why Microsoft had opted not to include an HD-DVD drive in the recent update to the XBOX 360 console (the XBOX 360 Elite). The logic would seem obvious. In the US, 94% of Blu-Ray players sold are included as part of the PS3 game console. This has led to a situation where more Blu-Ray players are sold each month than HD-DVD players. By including an HD-DVD player in the XBOX 360, wouldn't that help to provide the same push behind the HD-DVD format that Blu-Ray is currently experiencing from PS3 sales?
