Well, the Elite is now 300 US Dollars, and so is the 'medium' level 360. Well, my friends keep telling me to buy one or the other, and from what I've been told, it falls on Memory/space, and the color. But is it really true that eventually games will be made only for the Elite? And what about the 720? Or is that too far off in the future. SO my question is:

When/What/Which one do I buy?

I would reccomend the PS3 way more than the 360s, but if you really want one or the other, just buy the Elite. I read an article, and the sound they sound the same.

PS3 is way better, it doesn't get Red Ring of Death, and free multiplayer, cause XBOX LIVE costs a lot of money with the economy and all.

I prefer the 360.And I wouldn't get the elite get the 60GB which is 250 cuz unless u plan on having 2,000 songs on it 60 GB is alot.And for ilovemoney249,the RROD has been fixed and multiplayer is 5 dollars a month,which is only like 15 cents a day.And the multiplayer experience is,well,better.It just is.I dont think people with ps3 can say it has better games.halo 3 halo 3 odst are top games,and gears 1 and 2 and it just is better.

PS3 is cheaper. Xbox is better though when it comes to actual gaming.

The 360 is far better than the PS3 for games and online. If you want hardcore gaming, then the 360 + Live will be your best bet.

The Elite is better due to the HDMI port. And also, the Elite can't have games made specifically for it, since it has the same drive formatting as the regular 360s. The Elites are just more reliable, have more space (much more) and they have HDMI.

Also, welcome back Mav.

Law. Funny how every topic is hi-jacked into a console war. He meant the elite vs. the pro. I'd recommend the elite, since it just seems overall better... BTW, the pro and the elite are both 360's, and use the same discs.

For the sake of arguement:

PS3=360 in all aspects, except for PS3 having higher stats. (aka. the multiplayer is the same and stuff)

@Alt

Thanks m8.

@Elitemagical

Thats not an option. My mom/stepdad are incharge of the PC, and its not in the budget to get new ones anythime soon. Cod 3 failed on the good one so...

I'd be buying the system with my own money, same with games.

@Deserteagle

Well, the PS3 is now 300 US Dollars, and as is the Pro and the Elite, but I've decided on the 360. All-in-all, its really down to weather or not I should buy the Elite or Pro, not any PS3.

@Some other people

Paying money a month isnt THAT much of an issue. My family isn't rich, but more of an upper middle-class. Plus, I can just guilt my dad into paying the money. (14 year old cute charm...). Nah, jking. But alot of things at my Moms are based on:

a) Attitude
b) Grades (A's)

@Every One else, including the afore mentioned...

Well, Talked to ANOTHER guy today at school and...

Modding?! Well, he said to buy the pro because apparently it was easier to mod. So, should I Pro over the Elite on this account? Is this Even true? And I'd rather beat a BattleFront-Style game with awesome finger powers, rather than just holding down some modded, extra button with perks and what not...

So the question now is...

Is Modding a deciding factor in buying a 360?

false.

the elite does not come with hdmi cable anymore.

HDMI ports exist on all xboxs.

the xbox pro is now 250 dollars 60 g harddrive with 2 games fable and halo 3 original i believe.

then spend 40 more dollars to get an hdmi cable. and then you are good to go. saving around 50 dollars.

this is also pre BS. modding is the same on all xboxs. only differences is the color outside. that is it. (remember black gamecube and purple game cube, one just looks cooler).

elite comes with 120G HDD
pro comes with 60 HDD.

The only thing you have to decide is whether or not you want to be banned from xbox live ^_^

HDMI cables just make your console High Definition (if you have a HD TV)
