Can a bigger hard drive and HDMI bring new life to this console?...

If youre a gamer and you want to get into the Xbox 360, this is the way to do it. Skip the Core and Pro and stump up the extra £50. It will be worth it in the long run.

MS Xbox 360 Elite Were talking the Elite, the newest addition to the growing Xbox 360 console range. Its more or less the same as the existing Xbox 360 aside from three notable modifications. It features an HDMI port, a 120GB hard drive and, of co...

The price is something that sets this console aside from the competition and for most buyers, the sheer number of quality games available will make the real difference. The PS3 also offers an incredible gaming experience, but the majority of the games...

If you havent jumped on the Xbox bandwagon just yet, but had planned to (Halo 3, anyone?), the Xbox 360 Elite merits your consideration. The inclusion of the 120GB hard drive, HDMI, and full 1080p support may make this console pricey, but its also a...

The Xbox 360 Elite is an attractive new shell for an already impressive gaming console. We would have liked to see the new features handled a little better but overall, its still the same as the original Xbox 360.

The big difference between Microsofts Xbox 360 Elite and the previous incarnation of the Xbox 360, which is still on sale, at a lower price, is the colour - its gone from pristine white to dark black. Otherwise the case looks the same, but the inside...

It seems like a very long time since I reviewed the Xbox 360 . In fact Microsoft's second console has been with us for nearly two years - it launched in the UK on 2nd December 2005, and I can still remember sitting up all night making sure that I had the...

The Xbox 360 Elite may not address the noise pollution issue that has plagued Microsoft's console since launch, but it does bring some key new features to the platform. HDMI support is a welcome addition, while the increased hard disk capacity will defini...

With worldwide sales tallying over 10 million units since its release a year an a half ago, Microsofts Xbox 360 platform is poised to overtake its predecessor. Already, the adoption rate of Microsofts online gaming/media service, Xbox Live, has sur...

Elegant design looks stylish in most entertainment setups. Extensive digital media capabilities. Excellent games library. Robust online community. Powerful 3D graphics.
Like the original Xbox 360, the Elite generates a considerable amount of noise and heat. Console still lacks internal Wi-Fi. Power supply is way too bulky. No internal high-definition optical drive.
Even though the Xbox 360 Elite wont sway current owners to upgrade, its impressive feature set and strong online community make it the high-powered console to own...

The Xbox 360 Elite is a solid system worth owning, but only if you can take advantage of its features – and if you do not currently own an Xbox 360 system. If you currently have an Xbox 360, then you will want to pass on the upgrade as there are onl...
