Well I got myself a new XBox Elite today. Admittedly the black case is vastly better than the usual white one. However I’m begining to wonder what the extra £70 has got me. The HDMI cable is a nice extra, and the bigger hard disk is great. But £70 does seem like a lot, especially since John Lewis don’t bundle any games. John Lewis didn’t have any regular 60GB units left. Plus £200 worth John Lewis vouchers have been laying around for over a year so I thought what the hell, and just got the Elite. I know I could have ordered online, but I’m impatient what else can I say. Plus with the added downess of having to take my graphics card back today did not help, and I needed to buy something.
I just hooked it up, and ran the updater. Now I just have to renew my Live account, then migrate old Live profile over. Don’t want to screw up my acheivements and save game info.
I’m actually not going to keep this unit any way. Warranties being what they are Mati and me have decided to actually swap units, though I’m keeping the 120GB drive. Our main Xbox360 is like 2+ years old, so it has the hackable kernel and Hitachi DVD-ROM. I can then take that apart and modify the hell out of it.
