has a release date been put on this yet? I really don't see why they are not selling the HDMI cables without the console and why they changed it to black(yuk).

I think I might get the 120GB HD though



April 29th will be the release.

Any off-the-shelf HDMI cable will work, whether it costs $29.99 or $129.99.

Black is Beautiful ;)

$180 for a 120 GB hard drive... good grief...Has MS not looked at the price of Hard Drives recently?

I have a real bad feeling that this unit will either be sitting right alongside the same colored Sony product or they will all be gobbled up by eBay'ers to sell to Canadian web surfers.

I still think including the HD-DVD drive in this new unit would have been a perfect opportunity for MS to push that platform.

Sorry so pesimistic, but this just isn't a wow factor for me at all.



I'm ok with the $179.99 for the Hard drive. Considering it is essentially a notebook or portable 120 GB drive (they retail about $100 for 120 GB) and it has a unique shape/design to hook to the 360, it is probably about the right cost.

The problem with incorporating the HD-DVD is that you would have to jack the price up another $100+ to offset the cost, or take a huge loss per console. Considering this format war may never have a clear winner, nor really "catch on", MS is being smart by not over extending themselves. Sony's inclusion of the Blu-Ray drive has done nothing but cause headaches from day one.

I don't think MS was trying to get a Wow factor out of this, otherwise all these so called "leaks" wouldn't have happened. This is simply MS listening to their customers and providing another option for people to choose if they want, as well as establishing the Elite as THE console to have when their long-range plans (IPTV, Expansion of Video Marketplace, etc) come to fruition.

By the way Z - What the heck is that EarthDefenseForce 2017 game like? I saw it sitting on the shelf at Wally World the other day, but couldn't look at it because of the Fort Knox Glass Case it was sealed in.

LOL Well I'm in the midst of reviewing it, but lets just say if two of my least favorite Xbox 360 games (Full Auto and Ninety-Nine Nights) were turned into a Futuristic Shooter with a shitty physics engine....you would be on to something.

I think I am the only one here that thinks this, but the black is ugly.

And I just got done listening to major nelsons podcast about the 360 elite and I really like how they are not forcing us to spend money on stuff we don't need, like the 120GB HD because I don't think I will need a bigger HD for a long time.

over all I think MS did awesome with the new system and HD.

Now I'm indifferent about this new Xbox. I think it looks pretty good and it's a nice plus for people who are thinking about buying a 360 soon. It's said to be special edition but does that mean the color or the whole new system? I don't get why they'd pull this one off the shelves if they built it to satisfy their customers wishes.

It isn't limited edition. In one of the interviews it was made clear it is a new model here for the long run. Also, they wouldn't launch a matching accessory line if it had a limited run.

That was how it was originally reported, with matching accessories. I was unaware that MS had disproved it.
