The 360 wasn't that cool when I played it... but the PS3 kicked ass! Lets hope the elite works beter than the premium somehow.

Work better? The premium works fine. I haven't had my 360 freeze or lock up, only when I was trying to access my Media Center PC when my PC wasnt on or something...

I might buy it from the looks of it because they may sell the HDD seperate but for $140.

If it's a Chipset, it's intergrated. And intergrated = Crap.

@Beefking

OMFG, ROFL
you just made my day :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

if you say that your nvidia chip integrated gfx own x360/ps3 and the like, you obviously have NO idea what you are talking about

and like stated by S2000_Skyline12; intergrated = Crap
it always has been, and will always be

Yeah because it actually needed good specs to run it smoothly and even if you had that (from what I heard) it ran kinda choppy at times. But your "Max" settings depend on the game. Flex F.E.A.R. out in High or Ultra High (Since your bigshot "setup" can supposedly handle your games at high settings) and tell me about your gaming experience.

It looks like promotional materials for the new "rumored" Xbox 360 120GB hard drive are surfacing. We received this picture from fanboy reader Ralph, who says it's a shot of Gamestop's promotional poster for the much rumored 120GB hard drive. Yes, we know it's a tiny picture, but Ralph says it's so small because it was sent to him via his trendy little Blackberry. Stupid Blackberrys and their small screens. So, is this confirmation of a new 120GB hard drive and possibly the Elite 360? Not exactly, but it makes for great speculation goodness. And we all know how much we love our rumors and spec.
:P So Great!

They even have it on XBOX.com

if you can run such games on max, its no integrated chip
no way anything like that could even run oblivion properly

EDIT: wtf am i doing? im going offtopic :?

on topic: this "elite" version looks nothing more than a lame way to earn more money by making the x360 look "more special" than the original

Yeah. It's not possible.
When Oblivion was released I had a pretty good card for the time (7800GT) and even I couldn't play it on max.
The fps just dropped too low.

Edit: Haha. Yeah we're going off-topic big time.
Let's just end this by stating that beefking is most likely full of shiznit :).
lol wut

Microsoft is behind the HD DVD, but they dont want to push the idea of making people use only one format, let the people decide basically. If a 360 had BluRay, that there is something wrong,

Yea the PS3 is the cheapest BluRay Player, but also the loudest, power consuming and ugliest player out.

I am most likely going to get a Elite 360 but when? i dont know lol

Why don't you just get the HDD ($180) and get your case swapped out?

Blu Ray is gunna flop like everything else Sony has ever made. Even if I go a PS3 it wouldn't fit my TV...kinda dumb on Sonys part.

I dont think the PS1 or PS2 flopped... :roll:

the PS3 does have a problem upscaling to 1080p. Even some new Sony HD 1080p LCDs cant show the games in high HD quality

no, but Sony's Betamax was - at the time (in the 80s i think) it was competing with VHS... much like today Sony's BlueRay is competing with HD DVD, however a winner is yet to be confirmed.
