Is there anything I need to know before buying an XBox 360 Elite?

I've heard rumors of a hardware refresh later in the year. Hold on while I try to find where that was...

EDIT: Nope, can't find it. Maybe I was imagining it.

There are rumors of them changing some hardware and slashing prices. So it might be a good idea to hold on. Also, there really aren't that many "bitchin" games announced in the near future for it. Especially if not into the fare Atlus has chosen for the 360.

The original ones have no HDMI for instance, which prevents me from displaying full 1080p on my bitchin new tv.

This thread was a good idea Saycke. I was wondering the same thing myself.

Hardware changes would be nice... Maybe I'll hold off for a little while. I don't want to wait too long though.

Slaughter and Raithgar need to get their asses in this thread posthaste.

^So it's a definite? I guess I can wait till August. Hopefully MS includes a built in wireless adapter with this model.

Thanks for the info DTR. Waiting until August isn't that big a deal.

Until the new hardware the fail rate is still 10%.

Unless you have a really nice computer, Mass Effect, KOTOR if you missed out on them, and Oblivion if you missed out on them as well.

Oh yeah! Gears of War if you have friends.

It would be best to wait till the new hardware gets into production (Re: Jasper Chipset)..

However one thing of note, there is another rumor going around about the possiblility of the next version of the 360 will sport a BR player. I've been looking for some documentation, but havn't found any as of yet. It's most likely false, But I would like to see something a little more solid than what I found recently.

(The BR enabled 360 is rumored to replace the Elite model)

Been doing a massive debug on the site, sorry for getting here late.

Thanks!

^ Lasts closer to maybe 12, one of the reasons I hit a pawnshop to get me a wired one (the others being that you can use the wired one with your pc, and that the dpad on the wired pad is actually usable).

Do sixaxxis/dualshock 3's need regular batteries?

I think they use USB ports to charge, if I remember correctly. Pretty convenient, I wish that Nintendo and Microsoft would have done something similar.

^ Which is sold separately Sad

I guess it beats Nintendo, which doesnt offer rechargeables at all.

You may want to wait for one of the Jasper units, which are supposed to be more reliable. However if you want one now just look for a Falcon, so far they seem to be pretty dependable, but time will tell. They aren't going to add wifi to any new units, it's jsut a way of lowering costs while also trying to fix the problems with it in one fell swoop.
