Here is the opening of the Xbox 360 Elite box. The Xbox 360 Elite was released on April 29, 2007 at a starting price of 479.99 which has now dropped to 449.99. It is the third Xbox 360 variation and is considered to be the high end version of the Xbox 360.
UPDATE
------------------
THE XBOX 360 ELITE WILL BE GETTING A 50 DOLLAR PRICE DROP AS OF SEPTEMBER 5TH 2008, THE NEW PRICE WILL BE 399.99
--------------------
Stuff that is in the box.
-------------------------
1. Xbox 360 Elite Console (Black)
2. Xbox 360 Wireless Controller (Black)
3. Xbox 360 Wired Headset (Black)
4. Xbox 360 120 GB hard drive (Black)
5. Xbox 360 Component/Composite Cables
6. HDMI cable (6 feet)
7. Xbox 360 Optical RCA Adapter (For connecting the audio to a stereo system if you are using HDMI)
8. Xbox 360 Power Brick and power cable
9. 2 AA Batteries (Usually Energizer)
10. Ethernet cable
11. Manuals and 1 year Warranty
So basically there is a lot in the box. The only differences between the Elite and the original Xbox 360 consoles is that it is black, few of the accessories are black, it has a 120 GB drive instead of 20, and it is bundled with a HDMI cable which usually costs a lot if you were to buy it separately.
** Note, with the HDMI, the Xbox 360 only supports HDMI 1.2a which excludes the features of HD audio and higher video bandwidth which is found on HDMI 1.3. Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround sound is on HDMI 1.2 which is not that bad.
There are not many black accessories for the Xbox 360 Elite. I believe there is only a black controller, battery pack, and black play and charge kit. There is a black headset but it is only found within the Xbox 360 Elite's packaging. Not every accessory is made black because more people own the white Xbox 360 and it would simply be a waste of money on Microsoft's part to make every accessory black.
Overall the Xbox 360 Elite is a great console. I personally got mine on release date and had no problems with it overheating despite playing it for hours everyday. I would highly recommend this console for anyone who has just entered gaming or just wants to get a 360.
Tips on how to avoid getting RROD***
---------------------------------------------
**** This only applies for consoles that were manufactured before summer of 07.
1. Do not block the vents on the 360. Less heat will be released and poor ventilation will occur.
2. Keep your console horizontal. I heard that 360's have a higher failure rate when kept vertical.
3. Do not keep it in an enclosed location such as a shelf or in an entertainment set.
Better ventilation occurs when you keep it outside.
4. Try to play in a cool area with a fan, preferably an AC.
5. Do not keep your Xbox 360 on a carpet. Carpets tend to insulate heat within the 360. You want to keep you Xbox 360 on a smooth flat surface.
*** RROD stands for "Red Ring of Death". It was a common hardware failure error with earlier models of the Xbox 360 which displayed 3 red rings on the controller light layout around the power button. Most of the problems have occurred due to overheating and poor ventilation. Consoles that were manufactured before mid 07 had this problem and the problem is now been resolved with the replacement of older processors with the cooler running 65nm processors with larger heatsinks on the newer 360's and those that have been repaired. The motherboard layout has also been updated to properly distribute heat. As of now 99.99% of the Xbox 360 consoles that are being sold in retail stores have the new processor/motherboard configurations. You can tell whether or not your console has the new processor or not if it has an HDMI port or not. WHITE Xbox 360 consoles that do not have the HDMI port are the older versions with the overheating problems, those that have the HDMI port are the newer ones. Note that this only applies to WHITE Xbox 360 consoles. I would not recommend getting the console used from a game store such as gamestop since there is a possibility it is an Xbox 360 with the older processor that overheats.
If your console does have the RROD and you would like to have it working again, contact Microsoft and call them up for a repair. The warranty for all RROD problems is 3 years and Microsoft will fix your console free of charge and will send it back to you. Shipping is also covered by Microsoft as well as the box and packaging to send the console to them. As an added bonus Microsoft usually sends back the fully repaired console with a 1 month Xbox Live Gold card. Failure rates are minimal these days and the RROD has hardly appeared on any of the newly manufactured Xbox 360 consoles.

ps3 has nearly all xbox 360 games (gears of war / halo excluded.) and ps3 has over 250 exclusive games that xbox cant get there hands on.

250 exclusives? bs. anyways while they do have the same games the xbox 360 will actually cost less in total.

Wifi is not that essential. bluetooth i agree, blu ray still has a lot of work to do before it becomes the standard. theres always the great xbox live

research it. ps3 does have 250 exclusives. its just half of them suck. but 360 doesnt even have that amount of exclusives.

then how can you ... ( 4 days ago by BurningInWater033)

then how can you even consider them if half of them suck? and the amount of exclusives 360 has is not the deciding factor. it is the quality of exclusives. Which, it seems, that SONY has yet to realize this..

Then show us the ... ( 4 days ago by ApFaqTech)

Then show us the exact list. That guy could be running his mouth on how many games are listed for the PS3 on a website, lol. Last I saw, the 360 had more exclusives than the PS3 considering that GTA, Final Fantasy, DMC, and tekken have been lost.

Exactly. Sony is ... ( 4 days ago by ApFaqTech)

Exactly. Sony is too busy focusing on the console so much that it has neglected games and online service completely. Every developer will tell you, it takes more time and more money to produce a PS3 game than a 360 game. So what happens??? Most end up making 360 exclusives. "Left for Dead" is a good example since valve publicly stated that developing games for the PS3 quite difficult and that game ended up becoming a 360 exclusive. Same thing with "Orange Box" which was pushed back.

Okay then. I admit ... ( 4 days ago by OnlineSkill)

Okay then. I admit these ``Exclusives'' Are not only availible for PS3, but for the PC. but XBOX 360 does not have access to them. And about 200 of these exclusives would suck. But all that is beside the point, PS3 has 250+ exclusive games. (Depends on how you say it - If PC Has them, they may not all be exclusive) But they are exclusive from xbox.

Agreed. But sony ... ( 4 days ago by OnlineSkill)

Agreed. But sony wins the battle. with the most exclusives. Xbox may win with the best exclusives. But we still have MGS4 Motorstorm and loads more. then sony gives us shit like LBP And Haze?

ahahahaha thats what i thought pussyhole

I believe that ... ( 4 days ago by ApFaqTech)

I believe that statement is quite farfetched, stating that the PS3 has 250+ exclusives. Almost every single online website which sells games does not show more than 20-30 exclusives for the PS3. About 300-400 games have been released for the PS3 ever since its launch, and the fact that it has 250 exclusives does not make sense.

I will admit, you ... ( 4 days ago by OnlineSkill)

I will admit, you prob no more then me. But some one told me about the 250 exclusives. i researched it, found a website that listed them all. Could have been fake. if so. You win, im sorry. Didnt mean to make an argument, just an opinion.
