Couple Microsoft announcements

DS · 03-28-2007, 11:38 AM

They announced the new Xbox 360 Elite this morning (12:00 Eastern) which will be black, cost $479, have a 120GB HDD (compared to the 20GB one with the Premium 360), and HDMI port/cable. It was rumored to be limited edition but it appears it's going to be a permanent third addition.

There is also suppose to be another "big" announcement tonight at the same time which is rumored to be the date of the Halo 3 beta. Not sure though.

I was debating on getting a 360 soon, probably won't but still, and I may just spend the extra $80 and get the Elite. Sounds like a good enough deal. Looks nice too. If they announced MGS4 for the 360 I probably would have to pick one up. But until they do...

(Because this thread probably won't go far with just that) Sony said, in reply to the Elite, "We think every PlayStation 3 owner should have an 'elite' experience, which is why we include an internal hard drive and HDMI output in every PS3 we sell, along with the 50 GB of storage capacity on a high definition Blu-ray disc." Also, Sony also issued a series of talking points asserting that the release of the 360 Elite "further validates the PS3 business model, which [Microsoft] criticized at launch."
