This item will not have the demand the original had so do not even think about paying the outrageous prices some of these so-called sellers are asking. You will be able to get this item anywhere for retail on its release date so there is no reason to worry about not being able to pick one up from your local electronics/videogame dealer. Don't get fooled by these con artist, Amazon will only sell out because these thieves are buying them up thinking its the next huge thing when its just a new paint job with an hdmi port and a bigger hdd. It is not limited and it will not cause any lines to form! Now that i got all that out of my system, 360 is a great gaming device, if you own an hdmi capable television or need a bigger hdd for movies from the marketplace than the Elite is for you! don't forget if you don't need all the bells and whistles there are still two other 360's to chose from.
Good Value at Retail Price May 12, 2007

I just bought the XBox 360 Elite for $479.00. At this price it is a good value. I highly recommend it for potential new 360 owners. The Elite comes with a 120GB Hard Drive, 6' HDMI Cable, Component Video HD AV cable, Ethernet (Cat 5) cable, one black wireless controller with AA Battery Pack (Rechargeable Battery Pack Not Included), and one black headset. The Elite does not include a Data Migration Cable, which is included with the sold separately 120GB Hard Drive. However, you can request one from Microsoft free of charge. I got mine in three days. I had no problem transfering data from my previous 360's 20GB hard drive. If you already own a 360 and want to updgrade for more memory, you can just purchase the 120GB hard drive for $179.99 separately. No need to get the Elite, but if you want the HDMI capability, like I did, it is worth it. Through the HDMI connection the Elite is slightly sharper and looks unbelieveable on a 1080p HDTV (42'' Sony Bravia). Also, the Elite is much quieter than my previous 360, whisper quiet. The only time you hear it is when the disc drive is running, and that is also much quieter than my previous 360. The Elite also runs smoother. The Dashboard blades don't lag, and I have not had a single disc error to date. It seems to be much improved over the original 360, both core and pro. This is not to say that all newly manufactured 360's don't run smoother also. If you're going to buy a new 360 this is definitely the way to go, for only $80 more you get the larger Hard Drive and HDMI. If you are upgrading from a core or pro, it is still worth it if you have an HDMI connection on your HDTV, granted you can also sell or trade in your previous 360.

How can you review a product you do not have? Reviews are for people who own the product or have owned the product. If prospective buyers want REAL reviews wait until after April 29th, 2007. Don't junk up the reviews and rating systems with uneducated opinions on products you do not own

As the proud owner of a Xbox, and Xbox 360 (premium), I've got to say: What are you doing Microsoft? Or maybe better yet: Where are you going to go today? Do you know how this makes owners of the supposed "premium" edition feel? If I buy this version are you just going to release one with an HD-DVD player tomorrow, or in a few weeks/months?
I think the idea is to put out an incomplete product, reel in the masses, then release subsequent boxes with improvements that they know people will want, and force them to pay over-and-over again.
This really reminds me of what Sega did during the Saturn days, when they came out and said "Saturn is not what we are about" and many of us had just purchased the system, then they turned around and released the Dreamcast. I liked the Dreamcast, but it was a real slap in the face for Saturn owners.
The bottom line is MS is all about the money, they could care less about the gamer. Look at the original Xbox, all the hype of better graphics, more power. As soon as the 360 came out the machine was dead, no more game titles worthwhile coming out on it, no more support in general. Right now I'm using mine as a high priced beer holder.
This machine should have been the initial release of the 360, if the previous ones were not complete, MS shouldn't have released them. Kudos to Sony for releasing a complete product at launch, taking the time to ensure the product doesn't have a high failure rate, and not releasing a new version every few months.
Given all of the problems I've had with my 360, and this release, I'm really considering taking a hammer to my 360 and just playing my PS3 from now on.
Xbox 360 Elite, A GREAT MOVE FOR MICROSOFT!!! March 29, 2007

The video game industry's worst kept secret is finally out. Microsoft has today announced that it's adding the Xbox 360 Elite to its current console lineup. The $479 Xbox 360 Elite will join the $299 Xbox 360 Core and the $399 Xbox 360 Premium as Microsoft's high-end console offering. The Elite will be a permanent addition to the Xbox 360 lineup, not a limited-edition offering as rumors have speculated.
Microsoft has equipped the new Xbox with a 120GB hard drive and an HDMI port to make the 360 comparable to the PlayStation 3. The Xbox 360 Elite won't be replacing either of the current models, mostly because its advanced feature set is designed to appeal to enthusiasts and early adopters--the two consumer groups willing to spend more than $399 on a game console. The Xbox 360 Elite has a 120GB hard drive and a new HDMI port that supports 1080p movie playback. The larger hard drive lets console owners store more games and HD video content downloaded from Xbox Live Marketplace.The Xbox 360 Elite has a new black and chrome color scheme, and the package includes a matching black wireless controller and headset. Additional black, wireless controllers will retail for $49. Microsoft will also sell black Xbox 360 Play & Charge kits and Xbox 360 rechargeable accessories separately for $19 and $11,Microsoft will also offer the 120GB detachable hard drive as a stand-alone upgrade for existing Xbox 360 owners. The $179 drive will come with a data transfer cable to make it easy for console owners to move data from their old 20GB drive to the new 120GB drive. Expect 20GB hard drive prices to fall as people put their old drives up for sale. AWSOME!!! I CAN'T WAIT!!!
