Editorial: Xbox 360 Elite- Is It Worth It ???

Many would wonder what the deal is with the 360 Elite. Is it even worth the money? Well, it's really up to the consumer. The main features of the Elite are an HDMI output and 120 gig hard drive. As well, the Elite has a matte black finish. What's missing though is a built in HD drive, meaning you still have to buy it separately. As well, the 120 GB hard drive can be bought separately. Also, the HDMI output can only be used on HDTVs with the HDMI input, and TVs such as this can be quite pricey. There is no real reason to trade in a regular 360 even if you have a TV with a HDMI input, the picture may not be that different from a component connection which also gives you a HD picture. And as I said, the 120 GB hard drive can be bought separately. The only real reason to get the Elite is if you don't have a 360 AND if you have the extra cash. Basically, the Elite plays the same games, MAY look a bit better through the HDMI output, and is matte black. This is just another 360 in my opinion...
