 Buy this and relax November 19, 2009
Jason (NC, USA)
I bought the 360 when it came out (stood in a long line and waited and waited to get it).
I'm likely one of the few who never had a problem with his 360 (doesn't mean I wasn't paranoid), but I never had a problem. I sold my launch console to grab the HDMI version (the falcon) and still wasn't that happy with it.
It was hot, made lots of sound, and I was always paranoid thinking (this might be the last game I ever get to play, better rush it).
It got so bad I started buying multi platform games for the ps3 (even though back then the ps3 version was inferior to the 360). Only using the 360 for netflix and forza.
That all changed when M$ came out with this model. It fixes everything.
No sound, (with this large harddrive, be sure to install all your games just to be "extra safe" my cousin's dvd drive has died twice (2 different consoles), and because of this I always recommend getting the bigger harddrive and installing (now that I have this elite, it's not a problem).
This guy is quite, does not make the temperature rise in the house, and most important, I can just sit back and play xbox now without the worry and fear that previous consumed me.
I will discuss xbox vs ps3 at the end before my final recommendation.
Pros:
Xbox 360 Elite Holiday - Comes with 2 games (both can be throwaways I did not buy this for those games and never played them, but hey, they are 2 games you get for free).
Black Console (looks better in my room, black tv, black ps3, black tv stand, black speakers, black controller, may as well have a black console (got rid of my wii)).
Big Harddrive (you can go crazy on the marketplace, downloading demos, getting xbl games, and installing the games you get from amazon to HD and ensure they don't get scratched or spin like crazy making your room hotter (and the box get loud).
Quite (is this thing on?!) No sound, no loud as all fan, just quite, not even near as hot fun 360 gaming.
Cons:
My heat bill may go up this year. Usually I just turn on my 360 and play call of duty, 30 minutes later you can take off your eskimo gear and put on your swimming trunks (even in 0 degree temperature) and still be hot. NOT SO with the new elite ;( Now when I play the temperature doesn't change! So if you use this instead of buying a heater for your house, buy an older model off the amazon marketplace.
Still no built in wifi (really?)
Comes with stand AV cables (you know, the ones that come with the ARCADE!)
Comes with 2 games you could care less about (last year's bundle wasn't much better either).
Xbox 360 VS PS3 (if you can choose only 1)
Xbox 360 PROs
Better Multi Platform Games
Most of the time better graphics (except for first part ps3 exclusives)
Better live interface (the xbox dashboard being far superior to the ps3 dashboard)
Better Remote (Half True) It's IR (which stinks as you have to be in line of sight) but the lights glow in the dark (you win some you loose some).
360 charge and play kit beats the free usb cable you get with the ps3 (it's just so small!)
Xbox 360 Cons
Not as good of an exclusive lineup of games (let's be honest)
Hardware failure rate (that I'm about 90% sure this model fixes)
You have to pay to go online.
You have to pay for everything with the 360 (they pull you in with the "low" price, and then make you pay pay pay. Want to play online? 50 a year, want wifi? 100, want HDMI cable, gimmie 60 and so on and so on (I would bring up the HD-DVD player, but that would be cruel, and yes I did buy that the day it came out!)
PS3 Pros
Better exclusive games (to be honest, the 360 has far more games, but the ps3 exclusives are generally very good and anyone who enjoys games should play them).
Cheaper (you may say they cost the same, but when you factor in what I wrote above (wifi, charge kit, xbox live service, and more) it does get up there (making it the most expensive).
Blu-ray
Built in wifi, no need in buying a battery kit or a plug n play kit
Online is free
Netflix works without having to pay anything (other than your netflix fee) opposed to having to be a "gold" member like you do on xbox.
PS3 Cons
Lackluster multi platform support (on older games, not really the case now)
Not as many games
Bottomline? A 360 you can actually play, buy it and use and be safe in knowing that (it could!) last you a good 5 years or more. Something unheard of previously ;)
New Xbox 360 and no problems yet November 18, 2009
Cary Anderson (Albion,WA USA)
I'm not a hardcore gamer. I do own an Xbox which I gave to my grandchildren as I saw the newly released Xbox 360's with the new chipset in them which is supposed to fix the PROD problem and they are supposed to run cooler as well so bought one. So far so good. I only played the game Pure of the two games that came with this Elite edition and it was fun...but I was more interested in playing the newly released game Modern Warfare 2. I bought MW2 when it arrived in our local stores and have been playing it since. It's graphics are excellent. The game playing is unreal and the missions have you so involved time just fly's by and you have no idea you've just spent several hours playing the game.
I copy the games to the hard drive and run them from there and so far I have had no problems with over heating or the failure that many of the older Xbox 360's have experienced. I have spent full day's playing games and no problems as of yet. Here is to hoping for a trouble free Xbox 360 experience. :)
I did find on eBay rechargeable battery packs that fit directly into the battery compartment on the wireless controller and plug into the USB port on the 360 so now instead of using alkaline batteries I use two of these battery packs and keep them charged so there is no $$$ spent on throw away batteries. For $10.00 it's been worth it. They come from Hong Kong so the delivery takes a week or so.
Would I buy another (NEWER) Xbox 360? Yes I would. Unless there is a set amount of time before problems bgin to appear with the newer Xbox's I'd say they are problem free and should offer a better overall experience than the older Xbox's that were prone to problems that many have dealt with.
As usual my purchasing experience using Amazon has been a good one and I continue to use them when shopping online.
PS3 and XBOX 360 Owner November 16, 2009
vertical_horizon02 (Texas)
I currently own two different consoles for two different reasons due to XBOX 360 releases such as Halo, Gears of War, Left for Dead, and Mass Effect; however, my primary console is the PS3 for the much more needed effect of graphics, features, HDMI 1.3a, and Blu Ray. I had an XBOX 360 from the first generations and I can pretty much say it lasted 4 years until I decided to sell it and buy the XBOX 360 Elite. I'm not sure of the current status of the XBOX 360 I sold, but as far as I know the RROD has not affected me. *knocks on wood*
Overall, I trust Amazon and their strive for customer satisfaction so I went ahead and placed my confidence in this purchase so I can purchase the upcoming games of Left for Dead 2 and Halo Reach. This product is pretty good, but the reason I gave it four stars is because the games aren't all that great, but hey at least it's something. The HDMI cable was not included as the previous versions of the XBOX 360 Elite, but it's not so bad to go out and by a longer one versus the small one, in my opinion, Microsoft gives to you. I recommend this product only because I saved almost 40 dollars buying this product on Amazon versus going out to a retail store and paying $332 dollars.
Xbox 360 Elite Holiday Bundle November 15, 2009
Robert George
I have owned about 3-4 xboxs in the past 3 years. I decided recently to sell my xbox 360 with the 60 gig hard drive to get the elite.
I was very happy to see the price drop to 299.99 with 2 bundled games. Although I was upset that they no longer included the HDMI cable. Its nice knowing that this system is the much looked for "jasper" chipset. I have been playing call of duty modern warfare ALOT! I played for about 8 hours the first day and my elite didn't even get warm.
I will say when playing a game, or watching a dvd the xbox runs very loud. It sounds like the system is working really hard, like a cheap dvd player from walmart. Which came as a surprise since my old 60 gig bundled system didn't have this problem
Overall If you are looking into making the switch, or have been wanting a 360 this is the best deal. You don't have to worry about "RROD" You get a 120gig which is plenty for downloading games, demos, movies, saving and so on. You also get 2 games. I haven't played legos batman, but I have played pure. Pure has amazing graphics and really shows the 360 graphics.
The only reasons its not 5 stars.
-Loud system when playing or watching movies
-No HDMI cable-regular AV cables are included
-No wifi Must by 99$ adapter-ripoff from MS
So I recommend making the switch.
 No Data Migration Kit; No WiFi - What is this, 2002? November 14, 2009

If you buy this to replace an old unit, note this: a Data Migration Kit is not included. Instead, you must call Microsoft and order it for $12.90 (not including tax). The Data Migration Kit is required to move everything off the old unit's drive onto the new unit's drive.
Unlike the PS3, this does not play Blu-Ray AND does not include a wireless network adapter (which costs an extra $80).
That said, you can play Halo 3.
