Xbox 360 or Xbox 360 Elite?

Post by little_shadow »

Well I am about to start working next week hopefully,
And I would like to know what you think is better and know some advantages and disadvantages between them.
I also heard that Xbox 360 Elite has a slower processor than the original?
And what does each System come with?

You can get 1080p without HDMI, I do it on my TV. 20GB is plenty of space. Go normal and get an Elite controler when you decide to get a second one. The Elite controlers rock!

No hd? then its probably best getting the normal one...
If you had a large HD tv with HDMI then I'd say get mr blaq.

But you can still get the blaq one, its blaq for one, and has the 120gbhdd, you just gotta figure out if those two factors are worth spending an extra hundred or so on, while you could be spending that money on games to vs me in on xbl :D

I'd recommend Phantasy Star Universe if you're into MMORPGs, Rainbow Six: Vegas and FEAR for FPS, Dead or Alive 4 if you like fighting games, and Forza 2 if you're into racing (note that I haven't played it, just going by other people's word).

Remember that most, if not all, popular games have a demo you can download for free on the Xbox Live Marketplace.

I disagree...Gears of war can be fun...But I find it soooo repetitive..You could argue that I suck at the game or that Im not getting into it enough...well thats fair enough, (I do usually come out on top), I just find that type of multplayer to be horrible...Its shorter than cs, its lets awesome than halo, it has few weapons and the levels are small...Sure its tactical and its pretty but I lost my love for tactical games long ago.

For xbl, I don't play too many games on it other than halo3 (GONE =( maybe halo2 ! o_O) and the command and conquer demo (Everyone, SUCKS, I have 10 mammoth tanks to their 1 predator within 10minutes).

I want a new xbl game also =(

GTAF: I agree with your statement about Gears Scotty, as for the C&C3 demo...that's because all of the good players play it on PC...the way it should be played.
Thats the thing too :P Im good on pc. So my orsm strategic plans completley bombard the newbs on a concsole who have never played an RTS before...Pure bliss :D

Whatever you do, don't get the core model. You will hate yourself. Rainbow Six: Vegas is awesome. Get it. Now. Try some demos before you buy any games, though. Its the best way to try a game before you buy it.
