Tips on Buying a 360

[odin0425]

Well that is where you got it wrong. Right now you don't need it. But say 1 or 2 years down the road. You do get a HD tv and also you do start filling up your 20 gig harddrive.

Now you will either have to A.) Just upgrade harddrive. now you spent $580 on a system because you need it. Or more so say B.) You start watchin / download there stuff on Live which now requires a HDMI output port.. you gotta try to sell your old one and buy the new $480 .. maybe you get $200 outta your old one you just spent $680 on the whole thing. So any route it still cheaper to just fork over the 80 more for the larger harddrive. I mean hell just get 1 less game when you purchase it and you pretty much covered it.

So IMHO it really stupid now to not get the elite version because they pretty much fucked over every early adopter of an Xbox 360.

i seriously dought that MS will require HDMI for their videos, they already kinda screwed us early adopters whith the elite...i seriously dought they want to make all consoles before the elite obsolite. but ya, spend the extra 80 now and get the elite...the hard drive price wont go down any time in the next 2 years, so you would be over paying by 100 if you get the premium system now and upgrade later
