no HD DVD? noo... not worth the 480..IMO theres not much elite about it cept the hdmi. If this is elite to microsoft then sony's PS3 is Ultimate.

New version of the 360 will compete more directly with Sony's PlayStation 3. Hard drive is twice as big as that on the $599 PS3 and comes with an HDMI output, like the PS3.

Only remaining difference will be the PS3's Blu-ray drive; Xbox 360 owners who want to watch high-def discs have to purchase an HD DVD add-on drive for $199.

While Sony has Blu-ray drives built into the PS 3, Microsoft chose not to include the $199 optional HD-DVD movie player in the new Xbox 360 Elite. That’s a good move as it looks like there isn’t a great deal of demand for the next-generation movie disks yet. Blu-ray is starting to pull away in sales because of the PS 3, but there is enough confusion out there so that consumers aren’t buying yet. There are combo players available from LG, and Warner Bros. is promising combo disks with both Blu-ray and HD-DVD on them. You can bet if the demand for HD-DVD was huge, Microsoft would have built it into the Elite.

I fail to see what exactly is new with this Xbox release. So it has some spiffy black coating, a DRM pandering HDMI port, and a cooler CPU. To pay a premium for just that, though, is ludicrous, made worse by the fact that you must buy a separate hard dive for the oh-so-affordable price of 180 bucks, especially when decent drives of that capacity can be had for around a third of the price.

Can anyone say ripoff? Oh wait, this is Microsoft, everyone already knew that.

I see the Sony fanbois are busy. You'd think they'd be enjoying their very in-stock platform, but then there aren't many games for it and those that do exist are pretty lame and expensive. So they are here dissin' the nextgen winner. MSFT in 1st, Nintendo a strong second and Sony getting murdered. Who would have though this a year ago? Sorry 'bois, you spent $1K on the wrong platform. Get over it.
