Q: have you guys heard thats great since i was gona get one already but the price drop came at the right time The Elite wil be 400 the Pro 300 and arcade 200! what do u guys think? and wich one should i get the pro or elite? btw how muhc space does the pro have? http://www.xbox.com/en-US/hardware/compare101.htm
A: I would suggest the Pro. The 100$ you pay for elite gives you three things... 1) The black case - I saw the Elite for the first time recently, and was highly disappointed. The matte finish ends up making it look more like a darker grey in any regular amount of light. If you're expecting a true black, forget about it. 2) 120gb hard drive - I personally only fill my 360's space with save files and demos. I have yet to exceed even 20gb. The 60gb Pro will handle everything just fine. 3) An HDMI cable - These cables are are a funny thing, you see them from BestBuy or Circuit City whatever for ridiculous amounts... 80$ for a 4' cable from BestBuy.com. 6$ from NewEgg... I have three of these cables, for my DVR, PS3 and 360... exact same signal as a Monster Cable. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812270003 The guts of the newly produced Elites and Pros are identical to my understanding. So, a lack luster black color scheme, excessive hard drive space, and a 6$ cable. If you consider this worth the extra 100$, go for it. Stick with the pro and get yourself some custom vinyl skins if you want something different aesthetically.
