That is because either:<br>#1 It was sold out during launch and we couldn't get it or  #2 We didn't have the money at the time to spend on it.<br><br>I got mine and I love it. Despite the ridiculous cost of the peripherals (wireless adapter, wireless headset,etc) its still a solid gaming/entertainment device.<br><br>The Xbox 360 Elite is a dissapointment to me (and others) due to the fact that it DOESN'T HAVE a better, coooler running CPU, it doesn't have built in wifi, and its HDMI output is not very impressive unless you have eyes sharp enough to discern the difference between 1080p and 720p at distances lower than 10 feet (from the screen).<br><br>If I was buying my 360 for the first time tommorrow, Of course I'd front the $79 more so I could get at the larger HDD and the HDMI but besides that, it isn't worth the extra cash.<br><br>Had the ELITE come with built in WiFi, the $20 remote, and the black play&charge kit I'd gladly drop $500.<br><br>For now though, my PS3 was worth every dime I spent on it - if for nothing more than the WiFi enabled web browser and the Blu Ray disc player. I love the way it looks on my 50". ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Big]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 27th 2007 3:10PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Xbox 360 Elite coverage roundup -- are you getting one?]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/27/xbox-360-elite-coverage-roundup-are-you-getting-one/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/27/xbox-360-elite-coverage-roundup-are-you-getting-one/</guid><description><![CDATA[the poll has no option for, "i would, but no money for gaming consoles with 50k/year school debt piling up for a public interest job." if there's anyone upgrading to the elite and has a classic console they need to get off their hands...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Brian]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 27th 2007 3:25PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Xbox 360 Elite coverage roundup -- are you getting one?]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/27/xbox-360-elite-coverage-roundup-are-you-getting-one/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/27/xbox-360-elite-coverage-roundup-are-you-getting-one/</guid><description><![CDATA[Where's the option for: I have no sense of humor and hate fun polls.

The thing is, is that the Xbox 360 Elite is mainly for people who haven't bought a Xbox 360 yet. It's mainly for newcomers. I'm sure that Microsoft does know that there weren't that many upgrades to the Elite, but that's how they're going to sell it as. All of these ideas we hear (built-in HD-DVD, cooler fan, etc.) will probaly come in the next gen. Xbox. The Elite is like a service pack to the Xbox 360. It's slightly improved, and just adds on to a great gaming experience. Sure, it may be pretty expensive, but I'm sure that many newcomers, like me, will be ok with shelling out some cash for this new Xbox 360. Until then, just wait for the next gen Xbox to fulfill your wants. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[michael]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 27th 2007 5:06PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Xbox 360 Elite coverage roundup -- are you getting one?]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/27/xbox-360-elite-coverage-roundup-are-you-getting-one/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/27/xbox-360-elite-coverage-roundup-are-you-getting-one/</guid><description><![CDATA[I was gonna go with the option of "I'll buy a non-1337 360" but choose the Wii instead.

Hell, I have it right beside me when I play (I use my computer desk and PC monitor without the need of VGA cables : D), and I don't even notice it. Jeez, you guys are picky with all this bitching about noise. Again, the new chipsets aren't a big deal, and really wouldn't make any difference if they were released. Heat is NOT an issue unless you have little airflow or have many heat absorbing materials around it (i.e. carpet [don't put it on the floor], clothing, etc).]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Zeus the God]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 27th 2007 7:29PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Xbox 360 Elite coverage roundup -- are you getting one?]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/27/xbox-360-elite-coverage-roundup-are-you-getting-one/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/27/xbox-360-elite-coverage-roundup-are-you-getting-one/</guid><description><![CDATA[Waiting for the Halo 3 LE 360.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[OGHowie]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 27th 2007 8:40PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Xbox 360 Elite coverage roundup -- are you getting one?]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/27/xbox-360-elite-coverage-roundup-are-you-getting-one/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/27/xbox-360-elite-coverage-roundup-are-you-getting-one/</guid><description><![CDATA[No PC gaming choice? ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Nimajus Bagdonavicius]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 28th 2007 2:23PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Xbox 360 Elite coverage roundup -- are you getting one?]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/27/xbox-360-elite-coverage-roundup-are-you-getting-one/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/27/xbox-360-elite-coverage-roundup-are-you-getting-one/</guid><description><![CDATA[Buying an Elite:  NO<br>Buying the HDD upgrade:  NO<br>Upgrading HDD on my own:  Heck yea!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Rboyett]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 28th 2007 10:21AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Xbox 360 Elite coverage roundup -- are you getting one?]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/27/xbox-360-elite-coverage-roundup-are-you-getting-one/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/27/xbox-360-elite-coverage-roundup-are-you-getting-one/</guid><description><![CDATA[How about Yes, No, or Will be getting one?
