Description The Xbox 360 Elite is the premier Xbox 360 console package coming with a massive 120GB hard drive, a HDMI port, and HDMI cable, all with a premium black finish. It also includes a black wireless controller and a black Xbox LIVE headset. Incredibably this Xbox 360 Elite has enough space for a whole library of Xbox LIVE Arcade games as well as downloadable high-definition TV shows, movies, music, and all the other content available from Xbox LIVE Marketplace.
Xbox 360 Elite console: The console is equipped with an HDMI port, HDMI cable, a black wireless controller and black Xbox LIVE headset. It also comes with three powerful core processors, 16:9 cinematic aspect ratio, anti-aliasing for smooth textures, full surround sound, and DVD playback with upscaling capabilities right outof the box. The huge 120GB detachable hard drive allows gamers to save their games and store television shows, movies, music, pictures, trailers, extra game levels, demos and other content available from Xbox LIVE Marketplace. You could buy this seprately if you wished. The hard drive is a major incentive to buy this product.
Xbox 360 Wireless Controller (black): The sleek black finish of this high-performance wireless controller matches the style of the Elite Console. It has a range of up to 30 feet and a battery life of 30 hours on two AA batteries. Neat in design and can be utilised in a large room with a large TV easily
Xbox 360 headset (black): This headset allows you to strategically manouvre while playing together online or trading taunts with your opponents. A useful competitive game advantage. Moreover, you can also send voice messages to your friends on Xbox LIVE.
Xbox 360 HDMI cable: The HDMI lets you get HD video (up to 1080p) and multichannel surround sound, all from one cable. This is what HDMI cables were designed for with their 'gas' technology' as long as you are able to produce 1080p full HD. With the Xbox 360 elite this is true.
Xbox LIVE Silver Membership and subscription to Xbox LIVE Gold are additional features which allow more virtual world scenarios and other further experiences, naturally with a small fee.
All in all this is as the name suggests 'elite' in the game console market, and certainly the best Microsoft has to offer. The games run smoothly and you really do have alot of storage space. So if you are after really good console with all the works and price is not an issue, then this would naturally be a good choice. Moreover, I would recommend the subscriptions to enjoy the true potential.
But remember, if you don't have 1080p full HD, NOT HD ready or 1080i TV, then you will not necessarily the best this machine can offer. However, you get a HDMI cable incuded which provides great value for money as a package.
All in all, this console is on the high end of the market. It looks good and presents itself well. Recommendation is based on the above points if the potential buyer prefers the qualities of the product. If large drives, smooth graphics and HD are your thing, then this is an ideal buy.
