Before everyone goes crazy, I want to announce that the Xbox 360 is built for gaming. The multimedia side is just extra. But, remember, that's through HDMI. You get another cable with the 360 Elite that allows you to use optical and other hooplah.
I'd agree. If you want to watch a movie, and want HD DVD, get the Toshiba A2.
That's not the point though. They are making an "Elite" product but are not including everything that they feasibly could.
Sure, the multimedia side might just be extra, but then why make a new SKU? Why not just release the bigger hard drive?
If you're gonna make a completely new system, make it worthwhile. They could have just made the cooler-running 65nm chips standard across the line and optional black color scheme.
This just adds unnecessary confusion without any real payoff.
