Xbox 360 Elite enjoys fast sales in Amazon |
Listed in: Xbox 360 Tags: Amazon, HDMI, Microsoft, North America
Ó
Microsoft's new Xbox 360 Elite package was sold out within hours of release in online retail site Amazon.com due to tremendous pre-order response from videogame fans across North America.
Microsoft's revamped console package created significant anticipation levels when it was announced that it would carry HDMI and a 120GB hard drive with it to put it on a more equal hardware footing with Sony's PlayStation 3 game console. An HD-DVD drive is also available for the machine, though users would have to purchase it separately to enjoy high-definition visuals from videos written in the format.
The Xbox 360 Elite carries a US$ 479 price tag, which is still cheaper than the standard PlayStation 3 bundle. The Xbox 360 console is still the overall market leader in console sales, but has trailed Nintendo's Wii in monthly figures since January.

LOL - what standard PS3 bundle? You mean the now defunct 20GB model. Now there's only the 60GB and the price difference is $120 - ouch! That's enough for two first rate games for the 360, or 4 platinum titles.
I have both 360 and PS3 and like them both. But this new ELite is really putting the hurt on Sony.

Oh wait yes but in 100 years this or that is coming out, by the time any decent games are out on PS3 everyone will have enjoyed all the next gen genre of games and will almost be ready for the release of the next round of consoles..

Um, you're a darn fool. Tyuty hit it right on - there are simply no GAMES for the PS3. Anything except Motorstorm thats out for PS3 was already out for other systems months or years ago. Boooring.
I like my PS3 - makes a great Bluray player, however, the only other thing to do with it is "folding". Kinda boring really =/

4. Sony hired a company in Scotland to make a cgi video for killzone 2 and LIED that it was actual GAMEPLAY running on a dev kit.

It's not all bad new though, i can now justify to the wife, buying a 360 and a Wii for less than a PS3 :)
