    Hey guys i need some help on this one

    My son wants Xbox 360 Elite Console - Black for graduation (he made the honor roll) :up: that was the deal. My question is whats the difference between the Elite Console black and
    Xbox 360 Console System?

    the elite is 449.99 and the other one is 349.99. I know he wants to play XBOX LIVE
    Best buy is giving a 50.00 gift card on any xbox 360

    some family members are going in on the gift so i want have to pay it on my own

    Thanks for the help...

    it just has a bigger HD and is unmoddable. and it's black. No major difference really.

    They also seem pretty reliable. I have had one for over a year now no issues, runs great. The big HD is nice, but aside from that its more bragging rights than anything ;)
    Think maybe it comes with a few more accessories (headset and such) but not 100% sure on that. Been awhile since I got mine.

    Yea the price difference is mainly the Hard drive space- regular one is( 20 gig) elite is (120 gigs) so the Elite gives you 100 more gigs to work with. I myself get bye on 20 gigs and I play all the time. Just depends if he will be downloading movies and original xbox games off of xbox live (which I don't do)

    Elite has HDMI hookup as well. Not sure if the new standard 360's have that yet or not.

    I'm furious that my old Xbox360 doesn't have HDMI input. It makes a huge difference. Because of this, I buy games for my PS3 now. To hell with Xbox. Until Gears 2 anyway...

    Aw crap...

    I saw this thread a day late :sad:

    Anyway bro...I wish you could've seen this first to make sure you got a good one:


    http://forums.xbox.com/1/15804553/ShowPost.aspx#15804553



    So yeah, I am pretty sure that at this point you picked up one with a Falcon MB given that its been out for a few months now...

    Easiest way to tell is if your power supply is 175W your good...

    I hope you got the package deal that comes with Forza & Marvel Alliance (as thats the newest models right now of the ELITE)...

    Good job brother...:up:

    Looks like you've got the best type of 360 console out there right now.

    If you want to check out certain tech specs (like what kind of DVD-Rom or whatnot) check that XBOX Live thread as it has alot of answers.

    I'm still having trouble with XBOX LIVE. I bought the xbox wireless adapter but the router doesn't see it. I have a netgear router m/n wnr3500.

    Well, I see your last post on the subject is 2 days ago; so did you get the issue resolved? I was going to suggest maybe you needed to download a driver???

    man this could be a bunch of things...

    I guess to start off...is the router set to 'enable' wireless SSID broadcasts?

    YES... is it possible that the router is broadcasting wireless N? is there a way to broadcast in wireless G?

    OK...

    I dont really think that makes a difference as an N router should be advanced enough that it can work with older networks.

    How about your security? Are you using any (WEP or WPA)? Try disabling your routers security and try conecting then and see if without security it works.

    Also, can your 360 see your networks SSID? How far down the line does it get when you try and set up your network connection? Where does it fail?

    not sure how it works for the 360 but on computers if you are using security you will need to input the key........
