Going Elite

[HawkMan]

So after considering etting a pro to replace my premium for a while since I've been wanting to use HDMI but kept deciding I didn't really need it, VGA works just fine, no need to throw away money.

Then after E3 I figured it was time to grab a disk, with Burnout (xbox1) on the disk and wanting to buy more gaes, and the ability to copy the disk images of games to the HDD in the next update, I needed a 120GB. Heck aybe in 5 years MS will launch the movie arketplace here in Norway too.. you never know :p

but of course the Elite is just twice the price of the 120GB HDD, and it's got HDMI as wel as the proper dongle for optical out and all. So I ordered one, along with the chatpad, and a spartan gamepad (well they didn't have the red and black one yet :p).

I still think I prefer the console in white, but I'll adapt :)

Nice :) If I had the money I'd get an Elite, but I'll eventually just get the 120 HDD instead.

I'm thinking about buying another one too, I sold my premium to a friend in need recently :)

I'm just waiting for some games (and time to play) to get a new one. With yesterdays announcement I'm considering the Elite so I can put my games on to the hard drive. But I'll still wait a few months for the good stuff.

I actually prefer the console in Black. Matches my media center all together much more nicely anyway. Plus most faceplates look ten times better on black. :)

My stuff arrived today :)

heh I didn't even know the psartan controller came with a figure, nice :)

Anyway can I move my savegames from a HDD to a memory card ? if so I think I'll grab a memory card when I go to trondheim for the Iron Maiden concert on Tuesday ( :devil: ) so I can move y savegames over while I order the transfer kit.

meh, laptop with some bad keys combined with a not particularly good typing position and me being somewhat distracted with other thigns atm :p

Congrats on the purchase dude (Y)

And yes you can copy game saves to the memory card from the HDD. You can then transfer them to the new Elite HDD without the cable, but if you have a lot of DLC you are best ordering the cable from MS anyways.

And you're a lucky S.O.B going to see Iron Maiden :p

Also considering getting an Elite in the coming weeks, but I'm not sure if I should just wait for the 60GB model to come out instead. Does the Elite have built-in wireless, or do you still need the addon for that?

You still need the addon for that, but you don't need the overpriced $100 official addon. Many third-party adapters work just fine (Linksys Gaming Adapter for example) or the old Xbox adapter (MN-740), you can usually get those on eBay for cheap.

Ah, thanks for the tip!

[LightIdea]

I just got myself an Elite the other day :D

Now I'm just downloading all my arcade games, haha.
