They look mostly the same but not exactly. In the pictures above in the thread it looks like they're all one piece; in the pictures in the link it looks more like the keyboard is something seperate that attaches onto the controller.

Either way, I think it looks really stupid.

The first pictures that were displayed were CGI, you'd have to be blind not to notice.

Does anyone else feel that the Elite Xbox 360 is a bit pointless? Whats the point of having a HDMI connection if a HD-DVD drive isn't installed in the machine in the first place?!

Plus you'll probably be able to buy the bigger harddrive seperate anyway.

I agree... like I said earlier they are just pulling an APPLE move where all they are doing is changing the color and adding 2 or 3 things.

You are able to buy the harddrive seperately or at least you will be. You must live under a rock if you did not know that.

Inner, try to be polite.

Zen2nd, Microsoft isn't going to alienate those who've been supporting them for a while. You'll be able to buy the bigger HDD separately.

Just returning the favor.

Since when do two wrongs make a right?

As for the 360 thing...yes, the harddrive will be available separately. However, as far as I know, the HDMI cables will not.

About that keyboard/controller Xbox thing, wouldn't you accidentaly press the buttons while playing? Their right under the buttons and pad.

I doubt they do anything if they are pressed in a game. Plus you'd have to really all over the place to hit the keypad. That would be like muting your headset without knowing it.

Its not somehting I need to know since I'm not in need of space.

Regarding the Wii. I can see one of my online stores is getting 28 in on the 18th of this month. Such a small number.

28's a lot more than zero, in my opinion. ermm

in my opinion, the only good exclusives for the wii that are currently out are: ssx blur and......um...uhh....wait I....... oh right twilight princess.... and.... elebits is okay...I guess... 🤨

YOu don't seem sure about those answers.......................Thank God. 😐

Super Paper Mario, Mario Galaxy, Smash Bros Brawl, the new Zelda coming out, Prime 3, Duck Hunt 2.

That's just off the top of my head.

That's Wii itself, Virtual Console classics confirmed for 2007:

Super Metroid
Mario RPG:Legend Of The Seven Stars
Vectorman 1
Duckhunt
Metroid 1
Pilotwings
Street Fighter 2 Turbo

I'd say the Wii is easily considered possibly the best console of this generation. I think it's safe to say Nintendo and Microsoft are crushing Sony this generation, six exclusives made by Sony Computer Entertainment of America aren't enough for Playstation 3 to take over.

Final Fantasy 13 can easily be ported to 360, as well as MGS4 in due time. I'd say in the fall Sony may sell 2-3 million more in preparation for Ratchet & Clank, MGS4, FF13, and the few other exclusives made by SCEA.

That may be jumping the gun a bit. I'd say that the Nintendo Wii has had a good start, that's all. Microsoft isn't really beating Sony at all. Microsoft still has to break the Japanese market since it still has poor sales there.

PS3 did have the fastest selling launch in the UK with a large amount sold and yes even though after 2 days those sales dropped rapidily they still sold more than the Wii.

It isn't clear yet who will come out tops, but its certainly the best generation to be a console player.

PS3 only had better sttarting sales because it had twice as many to sell for the UK release.

Even so, though, the thrust of your statement is right- it's way too early to count Sony out. Despite all their troubles they have huge momentum behind them.

funny how the simple fact that "well....they're sony" is the only thing keeping them afloat, and possibly just the factor which could still make it into a dominant console. that apart from slightly better graphics than the 360

Its true though that a name can be more powerful than the product itself.

Sure look at Hoover. The company who came up with the vacuum cleaner yet no matter what vacuum cleaner you buy, for some reason you call it a hoover. To this effect Hoover can't actually copyright their name.

In a gaming sense 'Well, they are Sony' has an incredible amount of capital. They have been the driving force behind gaming for the last decade. No point ignoring that. It gives them a certain amount of leeway and loyalty.

i say nintendo has been the driving force for 20+ years with sony riding their curtails. 😗 *ducks*
