What's with the new Xbox360?

Question

Lets clear things up, I owned an xb360, so not to sound like an xb360 hater, but what's up with the new "Elite"? I saw on Gamespot the unvailing of the new console. People are all hyped up about it and almost everyone wanted to buy one, and those are the ones that already own a 360. Imagine this, the new features are the color black, the HDMI port, 120GB hard drive, and the price = 479. To me it's the exact same xb360 with a new color, a larger hard drive and an HDMI port that really won't be necessary since the majority of the games display 720p-1080i anway. Ok, here is where it gets confusing; the poeple on the forums complained about the PS3 price that it cost too much and yet they are willing to spend basically another 500 on top of already owning a 360 to buy an "Elite". Put it this way, they are willing to spend roughly 900 on two 360s than on one super computer in the PS3 that already has everything built-in. A wise choice, you tell or victims of M$ making money off ignorance?

There are rumors that M$ will have the larger hard drive as an accessory. Also rumors has it that the premium xb360 might be build with an HDMI port built-in. So why waste so much money buying what is considered to be the same xb360 basically when you can just waste money upgrading? You know, a lot of people on Gamespot said that the color black for the new xb360 Elite looks conspicuously like the PS3 and were desinged to compete with the PS3. I read that some even went as far as calling it beautiful. Of course it is, it's the exact same xb360 that has been spray painted black. Come on now. Lets don't get carry away. I already like the original designed, so adding a few things and changing the color won't "WOW" me. I actually like the original white color better to tell you the truth.

Keep in mind that I've read a few people did said they were deciding to own both.

Answer 2

a lot of people prefer the 360 to the PS3. Better games, graphics, etc. And I highly doubt those who buy an "elite" are going to keep their original 360... with trade in value they certainly won't be spending $900.
