360 elite

Slippin Jimmy

Can someone please tell me everythin they know about this please? I heard that it has a 120gb hard drive and that the controlls on it have changed. Is there any truth in this? I haven't heard anything about it at all.

It has a 120gb HDD and is black with matching black controllers.

afaik, it uses the newer 65nm chip which should be cooler, but I am not 100% on that one.

It doesn't use the 65nm chip (at the moment), they aren't using that until later in the year, possibly when the elite ships in Europe. So there is a chance that we will get it.

Ah sorry, I looked up the 360 site and didn't find it. Never googled it either. The older consoles are dropping down in price, there is a really good bundle going at the moment for €249 or €349. I don't know which one it is really, but it has a lload of extras.

Try to remember!

was the offer better than the one in xtravision for €399
>> the premium console, PGR, GOW, Crackdown, play and charge kit.

or the Harvey Norman XBox 360 Core System + Game - €269

Does anybody know when the 120 GB harddrive (separate not with Elite 360) is coming out? I could have filled the 13 GB HD several times over if I had the space.

The American version is out now. I'd be surprised if that didn't work - though I'm not 100% certain.

Don't think there's any word on the Elite or related products for Europe as of yet.

I believe the 20GB versions worked on any version, can't see any
reason why the 120GB wouldn't.

I sold my 360 to get a PS3 and I am sort of sorry now that I did. I am thinking about getting a new 360. I just want to see which is better value for money, the elite or the normal 360. I haven't used my 360 online in ages, but as far as I know there is still membership there. Will I still be able to use that?

Im pretty sure you can Duff man, under "recover gamertag" id say you can get it back....

One guy on the OXM forum said a US 120gb hardrive doesnt work on a Pal system, because if you want to put your files from the 20g model to the 120g ,you have to insert a Disc do the transfer. The guy said he got a wrong region message . hearing this im not going to get a US model.

TheDoc

heres a qeuestion probably asked a million times

would a plug and play external HD work on the 360 through the usb port?

thegoth

No

I've just done a spot of trawling online to see what info is around on
whether the US or JAP 120 GB drives will work on an EMEA 360.

Bad news I'm afraid, it looks like that whilst the hardware will work fine
and is not region locked, the disc that comes with the drive and you use
for transferring your content from the 20GB drive. Poxy MS gits!
People have had success using a memory card to transfer their saved games
and just redownloaded their downloadable content.

As someone who doesnt have a 360 mem key the need for one would remove
any potential saving importing. Cojones... back to the drawing board.
