QUOTE(stringfellow @ Feb 8 2007, 11:44 PM) It should be worldwide, the Americans will be pissed a console borned out of an American company gets launched in Australia first. That is, if the rumors were true. Stringfellow made a grammatical mistake A nice complement of Yin and Yang for the Black Zephyr and my chrome Zenon.   |

QUOTE(|Keantan| @ Mar 17 2007, 11:18 PM) First things first, I am not getting such a console if it were released since I have no HDTV to play the console on anyways so that would be pretty pointless, secondly, my 360 that I am currently using will not be replaced any time in the near future so .... Ask your daddy to buy you an HDTV too DREAM ON   |

QUOTE(|Keantan| @ Mar 19 2007, 07:12 PM) well the details about version 2 are sketchy, unless you have an absolutely awesomeness TV that requires HDMI for full 1080p output and does not support 1080p through component then it is wise to wait for the version 2, if not just go buy the version 1 and then get the extra HDD later one when the version 2 comes out because for sure they will release it as an add-on as well. Then you can join the community chainsawing I thought touch wood for chinese people only? With all that said, if you do go for the version 1, make sure you either put in an aircon place or/and keep the area very well ventilated so that you keep your 360 from overheating, im sure that this is the same as the version 2 but moreso with version 1. Mine has not had 1 3ROD incident (touch wood) since i bought it and i use it everyday (well almost).  keantan beats up his 360 and wears his power ranger suit everytime he gets 3ROD so the 360 too afraid to show it  |

Something Interesting:
With the revelation that the black Xbox 360, also known as "Zephyr" is in fact real (the image above is a dev kit, by the way), Engadget has gathered some concrete details from a trusted source. Some of these details were uncovered earlier this morning, but some questions -- particularly the notion of built in WiFi -- are brand new. See the fresh details below. * First of all, the black Xbox 360 will be officially known as the Xbox 360 Elite. * The Elite will be manufactured in limited quantities, possibly a few hundred thousand. * Everything included with the unit will be black, including the case, controller, and Live headset. The packaging will be new as well. * The Elite will cost $479 and will be sold alongside Premium and Core packs. * Eventually, a white version of the Elite will replace Xbox 360 Premium packs. Presumably, this will happen shortly after the Elite is sold out. Once this happens, Premiums will include the 120 GB HDD and HDMI. * There is no solid date for the Elite-to-Premium transition, though it is estimated to happen late summer or early fall. * The Elite runs cooler than the current Premium, but it is unknown if it takes advantage of 65nm chips. * Prices could remain the same when Premiums convert to 120GB/HDMI, but a price cut may still occur once the 65nm chips are implemented. * The HD-DVD player will definitely not be bundled with the Elite and Microsoft stands by its claim that it has no plans to ever integrate an HD-DVD drive into the Xbox 360. * There are no plans to integrate WiFi into the Elite or future Premium packs. So there you have it, everything we know about the Elite until Microsoft decides to send out an official press release. Now that you know all the details (especially the bit about the Elite running cooler), do you plan on picking up an Xbox 360 Elite?  The Picture ISN'T Photoshopped Sorry if it's old news. |

QUOTE(colorwolf @ Mar 22 2007, 09:22 AM) Does it worth to buy the Elite with 120GB HD, better cooler, black package or should I wait untill summer to get a white version? I plan to get 1 Xbox 360 also as I already save the money for it. I think the important thing is the 120 GB HD for most people... DecalGirl offers a black packaging that you can replace yourself(get to know DjiNn before doing this cause you'll void warranty) BTW, when is US summer? By month... |

More Media Trickles In
 Earlier this morning Microsoft officially announced the Xbox 360 Elite system and from what we can tell, it's getting a mixed response. Some of you feel that it's an unnecessary slap in the face to early adopters while others are pumped to welcome the new black hardware into their homes. So, we felt it was our duty to gather more information, pictures, and videos of the 360 Elite and further educate everyone. Then, we can all make an informed opinion and decision. Thank us later. Click through the links below to experience complete Xbox 360 Elite learnification. * Channel 10 has an interview and Q&A with the Elite's main man Albert Penello. * Major Nelson's special mid-week Elite podcast. * Take a look at up close and hands on photos. * Official press photos of all the black happiness. * Read about all the Elite details over at Xbox.com. * 120GB HDD info (it includes a migration cable).

QUOTE(hairyLGS @ Mar 29 2007, 01:34 PM) After all the hoo-ha about Xbox 360 Elite... I found out that it will be Exclusive to North American owners only. Japan don't intend to have a Xbox 360 Elite for it... so will there be an Asian version remains to be seen... - 120GB Hard Drive is also sold separately.- DecalGirl Offers Black Replacement Case The only thing missing is a black controller. That's the main reason I'd buy Elite 360  |
