I thought the Elite was meant to put the Xbox onto a par with a PS3, but no. You still need to buy an add-on HD-DVD drive to play hi-def movies. You also need to pay a monthly subscription to use online gaming which is free from Sony. The Xbox elite controllers are not even motion sensitive.

I was given one of these and i was hoping it was going to be better than my normal 360. But there is no difference, just hard drive space that is it. The picture quality is no better. So you might as well just buy the normal 360 instead of paying extra, because really they are just the same, but black.
