DO NOT BUY THE 360 ELITE!!!65nm 360 is coming this fall (that's Sep-Nov to you and me) and from what i've read so far, this could be the 360 we have all been waiting for.
This is like the biggest untold secret yet when u put things in perspective.
Why the heck would Microsoft release Elite now? If it was sooo Elite why didn't it come equipped with the 65nm chip?
Answer 1 : Elite was there simply to deter potential PS3 buyers because they are competitively priced and not to mention the 120gb hdisk that put PS3 's own premium package at 60gb to shame.
Answer 2 : Elite was there with the black finish so as to trick potential PS3 buyers into buying 360s accidentally?
And if u need proof go here
Microsoft being DodgyThis guy can actually deny the 65nm 360!
It seems to me that Microsoft is so rich that they can afford to put a crappy(still has 3ROD) clone of their original crappy(3ROD) product just so that they can make life hell for PS3. That's how determined these people are. And who has to suffer? (I'm not going to answer that coz it's a rhetorical question)
So, what's the secret? Look at this.
With the 65nm being cooler, i truly believe this 360 will be 3ROD-proof! Cooling. That's the only thing that matters n i don't feel like spending MYR2k just to spend more money to repair it later.
And who gives a shite bout Elite or not, black or not? The way i see it, a brand new line of 360 will be on sale in fall. And since the PCB will be re-designed for the cooling system, they'll be mad not to include the HDMI ports on all three.
Come September, we could be seeing a brand new line of Core, Premium and Elite
all equipped with HDMIs and 3ROD free! Talk bout wet dreams coming true
So, the rest of you people who've followed this thread and haven't bought a 360 or planning to "upgrade" to the "Elite",
DESTROY that thought!
Keep that money and wait for the truest of the 360, come this Sep.
