Microsoft Xbox 360 Elite Release

Microsoft is scheduled to release the Xbox 360 Elite on Sunday April 29, 2007.

The Xbox 360 Elite will cost $479 compared to the regular Xbox 360 which is $399. The Elite will have a black exterior instead of white. The hard drive will be bumped up to 120GB instead of 20GB. Also, the Elite will make it easier for you to hook up your Xbox to any HDTV with an HDMI output.

However, is the Xbox 360 Elite so much better than the regular Xbox 360 that people will want to go out and get it? If the HDMI connector and the beefed up hard drive is worth it to you, then you should get the Elite. But for all the people that already have the regular Xbox 360 it isn't worth it. Now, if the Wi-Fi adapter and the HD-DVD drive were included it would be a different story, but those need to be bought separately. The Xbox 360 Elite falls short of reaching the level of the PS3, as far as features are concerned.

For now, the Xbox 360 can rely on the massive selection of games to attract customers, because the Elite won't be worth it to the majority.
