Rodman talks about Xbox 360 Elite features

Yeah, we wish it was Dennis too, but no. The guy talking in this video is John Rodman. He didn't say a lot, really. He just bannered the new HDMI port and the bigger hard drive that comes along with the Xbox 360 Elite. A video presentation with some electronica in the background followed.



As mentioned in previous posts, the HDMI port gives HD TV users a slightly better feel of visuals, particularly with shadows. The new hard drive can store up to 120GB of data and comes loaded with a bunch of trailers and game demos. The Elite comes in a black casing and sells for US$ 479.

Comparisons have been drawn between preceding Xbox 360 models and the Elite, and the consensus seems to be that the system is best suited for the detail-oriented crowd. Nevertheless, the machine has seen rapid sales as most online and brick-and-mortar stores sold out their stock within hours.

With the color, the controllers were looking like ps3 controllers, I wonder if someone though about it, something like "mom, I want the black console, the blaaaaaack one" and then she buy the x360... lol!

» ELITE has sold out worldwide already

You miss ONE BIG POINT senjutsu, EVERYBODY wants the ELITE it has sold out worldwide already, but nobody is buying the PS3 they are available everywhere so why would you think MS would go anywhere near PS3 designed hardware?.

» Best Buy

Yesterday Montgomery, AL's Best Buy had 4 on the shelf. I drooled over it for a few mins, and realized I didn't need to blow that kind of money on a system that I already owned. If I want a black casing, I'll go to decalgirl.com and order one for 45 bucks.

» Other SKUs need HDMI

For $479US Elite is way over priced. And hardly anything new compared to their Premium set. Now the Premium set is priced at an okay price point. But if I bought that I'd feel so left out without the HDMI. Microsoft should really just add the HDMI to the other 2 SKUs and I'm pretty sure they'd sell a whole lot more.
