How elite is the xbox elite?

So It's like this I've an 360 pro that's eating up disks and cos I'm past my 3 years it's cost me 60e to get it fixed till the next time it ****s up so I'm thinking I could trade it in for the elite; I've been reading on some places the net that the elite is just a bigger drive and a black finish with a hd out put and in…

I love my XBox though, I play more games on it then anything else. But its not as technically powerful as the PS3, its just not. I have both here and a 42", 1080p High Def Bravia from Sony. The PS3 seems to really enjoy drawing stuff like Paradise City (and moving it around at high speed!) and Prologue looks all kinds of awesome. the PS3 is the better technical platform imho. But I'm still much more likely to be found playing the XBox... currently.

Yeah weirdly I love the 360 too. The achievements, the games... I think Dead Rising sold the 360 to me originally tbh. I don't think that MS are up to scratch with their manufacturing process though, and it would put me off buying their hardware. They seem unable to fix the issues through hardware revisions - even simple issues like the xclamps.

Oh the irony..... our Elite RROD'ed last night. I cursed myself, didn't I!?

Anyway, we bought a pro as a second backup (and because we are addicts!). I'll check its power later when I am home but its actually quieter then the old elite and its not even close!

Sorry to hear that, but it seems to be a matter of when not if! This new fall update is supposed to help with the noise situation by allowing games to install onto the hard drive, so that's something of a bonus I guess! Gonna wait until the 65nm gfx chip before buying another 360 myself.
