Going Elite


Recommended Posts

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 :)

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.

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.

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.

    • Classic themes are just the colors on the bar like the olden days, if you use the image themes, it does fancy transparent backgrounds and it makes the elements of the app look like they are transparent bubbles. This sample image shows what it looks like.  
    • Good point, unfortunately. NextDNS has far more filters and workarounds than uBlock, and it's easy to implement.
    • Windows 10 KB5094127 Patch Tuesday improves File Explorer search and more by Taras Buria The June 2026 Patch Tuesday updates are here, bringing mandatory patches to users with PCs enrolled in the Extended Security Update program for Windows 10. Microsoft is rolling out KB5094127, with build numbers 19045.7417 and 19044.7417. Changelog includes the following: [File Explorer] This update improves File Explorer search, including support for Chinese text, and UTF 8–encoded files without a byte order mark (BOM). Text now displays more clearly and consistently across search results, Content view, and tooltips. [Secure Boot] This update enables dynamic status reporting for Secure Boot states in Windows Security App. This update adds a new policy setting, LimitSecureBootRequiredServiceData, under Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Secure Boot. When this setting is enabled, Windows limits the Secure Boot service data it sends by suppressing the event normally sent to Microsoft. This policy is also included in the Windows Restricted Traffic Limited Functionality Baseline package. For information about the policy, see Manage connections from Windows 10 and Windows 11 operating system components to Microsoft services. With this update, Windows quality updates include additional high confidence device targeting data, increasing coverage of devices eligible to automatically receive new Secure Boot certificates. Devices receive the new certificates only after demonstrating sufficient successful update signals, maintaining a controlled and phased rollout. As for known bugs, Microsoft has the following to say: A workaround is available in the official documentation. Today's updates are available for PCs enrolled in the Extended Security Updates program only. If your PC is eligible, you can download the update from Settings > Windows Update or from the Microsoft Update Catalog here.
    • Then the solution is to not let children have easy access to smart phones or internet until they are older, not mass surveillance. Only this would require parents to do actual parenting, most likely, as with any good solution to the problem.
