If you claim the 360 is seriously flawed and MS is milking gamers like cow teets - you get blasted by MS fanboys.

If you claim the 360 is all there is to life - and the PS3 sucks cause "Bluray isn't great" or "the controllers dont vibrate", you get attacked by PS fanboys.

I'm not a fanboy - I'm a consumer. I want the best bang for my buck. I got both of the systems and I love both of them. WHAT I DO NOT ENJOY is the feeling I'm paying $60 per game and top dollar for cheap chinese made accessories JUST BECAUSE...

$100 for a wireless G wifi adapter? IS MS INSANE? Its not even 802.11N - Its 802.11G CMON.]]>Mar 28th 2007 12:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/28/xbox-360-elite-now-official/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/28/xbox-360-elite-now-official/Mar 28th 2007 12:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/28/xbox-360-elite-now-official/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/28/xbox-360-elite-now-official/black spray paint 5 dollars

Why o' Why does this "ELITE" not include Wifi?
I have to spend $100 for a chinese made $10 wifi adapter?

WHY O' WHY does it not include the wireless headset? or perhaps...the play charge kit? Even better - throw in the DVD remote?

Why o' Why does it not include backlit buttons so I can know just what the hell I am pushing in the dark?

If I had been a MS employee, I would have made the ELITE a solid $500.

For $500 you'd get the system, the HDD, the remote, the wifi controller, the wifi adapter (built in) the wifi headset and the play&charge kit.

Though my PS3 doesn't have any spectacular killer apps (YET), at least I take pride knowing that my PS3 has way more connectability and advanced technology (bluetooth & BluRay, WIFI and internet browsing).]]>Mar 28th 2007 12:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/28/xbox-360-elite-now-official/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/28/xbox-360-elite-now-official/Mar 28th 2007 8:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/28/xbox-360-elite-now-official/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/28/xbox-360-elite-now-official/Mar 28th 2007 6:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/28/xbox-360-elite-now-official/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/28/xbox-360-elite-now-official/Apr 16th 2007 3:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/28/xbox-360-elite-now-official/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/28/xbox-360-elite-now-official/
Why the hell do you need to see what buttons you are pushing? Do you spend your time looking at the controller and not the screen? If you play in the dark why the hell would you want lights right up in your face? You turned out the lights to set a mood and now you want controllers that ruin your mood...

You might be proud of the way your ps3 connects to the internet but how about the content? In this respect the 360 trumps ps3 and in the end, no matter how you connect, content is most important...

I have a wireless router in my home and I want to add my 360 to it. I heard that you must either buy a wireless Ethernet bridge - or the 360 game adapter itself.

What is the best, cheapest solution?]]>Mar 28th 2007 12:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/28/xbox-360-elite-now-official/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/28/xbox-360-elite-now-official/Mar 28th 2007 12:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/28/xbox-360-elite-now-official/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/28/xbox-360-elite-now-official/Apr 6th 2007 12:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/28/xbox-360-elite-now-official/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/28/xbox-360-elite-now-official/Mar 28th 2007 12:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/28/xbox-360-elite-now-official/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/28/xbox-360-elite-now-official/Mar 28th 2007 9:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/28/xbox-360-elite-now-official/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/28/xbox-360-elite-now-official/Mar 28th 2007 11:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/28/xbox-360-elite-now-official/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/28/xbox-360-elite-now-official/Mar 28th 2007 12:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/28/xbox-360-elite-now-official/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/28/xbox-360-elite-now-official/Apr 4th 2007 6:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/28/xbox-360-elite-now-official/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/28/xbox-360-elite-now-official/
$679???

How is this cheaper than a 60gb PS3 w/BRD @ $599?

Why isn't everyone bitching about the even higher price of the Elite?]]>Mar 28th 2007 12:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/28/xbox-360-elite-now-official/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/28/xbox-360-elite-now-official/

System Requirements:
XBox360 Elite (recommended, you fools! it has HDMI! Your other wimpy system is no match! Microsoft is your master. Give us more money.)

Meanwhile... You get the PS3 with a high density optical drive (20G+ more per disk!), standards based communication protocol (bluetooth) and standard HD bay (SATA 2.5" drive) for only $20 more. And you won't have to pay the Microsoft tax to upgrade your accessories if you don't want to. (I'm looking at you proprietary wireless and disk drive!) Plus you can plug in an external hard drive to the PS3 and put whatever the hell sized hard drive on it to store more stuff seamlessly. Can you honestly say to yourselves that this is a good deal? It still has the crap-tastic processor that is known for it's heat and red rings of death. It's just packaged in a different color with a bigger hard drive. And Microsoft doesn't know what standard the HDMI is? I'm glad they know what they are selling. Ooh, it's black!

Ah, there is is 360 fanboys ...you see it over there on the right side, that big red minus button. Hit it! Do it now! You love the red minus...]]>Mar 28th 2007 12:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/28/xbox-360-elite-now-official/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/28/xbox-360-elite-now-official/
I like the 360 as a system, but I can't help but think that this is not the way to go.]]>Mar 28th 2007 12:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/28/xbox-360-elite-now-official/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/28/xbox-360-elite-now-official/Mar 28th 2007 8:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/28/xbox-360-elite-now-official/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/28/xbox-360-elite-now-official/Mar 28th 2007 12:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/28/xbox-360-elite-now-official/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/28/xbox-360-elite-now-official/Mar 28th 2007 12:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/28/xbox-360-elite-now-official/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/28/xbox-360-elite-now-official/Apr 3rd 2007 11:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/28/xbox-360-elite-now-official/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/28/xbox-360-elite-now-official/Mar 28th 2007 1:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/28/xbox-360-elite-now-official/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/28/xbox-360-elite-now-official/Apr 3rd 2007 11:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/28/xbox-360-elite-now-official/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/28/xbox-360-elite-now-official/
I've had PS since the first one and thought it natural that I would get a PS3 but have been contemplating the Xbox as it had the 'mo' and with sketchy backwards compatability I thought I might make the change.

With the pricing on this I see that the PS3 actually is a decent deal and you can get the 60GB at Sony Style (Sony's store) for $499. So for $20 and the cost of a HDMI cable ($10) I can get Blu ray and Wireless and upgrade my HDD later.

Still going to wait a bit longer but right now I'd have to say I'm swaying back to the PS3.

The original XBOX was released on 15th of november in black. I think this is going to be one more XBOX that is going to be dead.

Why Microsoft are you trying to piss me off I bought a 360 a month ago. ]]>Mar 28th 2007 12:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/28/xbox-360-elite-now-official/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/28/xbox-360-elite-now-official/
Right now I would say xbox 360 is a better deal because you get force feedback controllers and you can use double AA batteries and don't need to buy a usb extension cable to use your ps3 out of the box (unless you don't mind sitting 6 feet from your tv). Also currently the game selection for my style of games is better on the xbox 360 but I imagine some day they will be pretty even.

I tried to be as rational as I could in the comparison of the two systems trying to point out that both end up costing almost the exact same in the long run and even in the short run. so all the arguments on cost when comparing systems with high definition movie capabilities are a little unnecessary.]]>Mar 28th 2007 1:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/28/xbox-360-elite-now-official/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/28/xbox-360-elite-now-official/Mar 28th 2007 1:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/28/xbox-360-elite-now-official/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/28/xbox-360-elite-now-official/Mar 29th 2007 8:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/28/xbox-360-elite-now-official/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/28/xbox-360-elite-now-official/Mar 28th 2007 12:43AM
