Just Bought An Elite Console...


Recommended Posts

I bought an Xbox Elite (console only) on eBay because my other xbox died.

Anyway, I picked it up for $142.54 USD. Is this a good price for just the console, no HDD or anything?

I'm just curious.

Well the only reason to get an elite without anything would be the hdmi port and the color correct? I guess if I was you I would have waited for one of Dell's daily deals where they have a new pro 60gb for $150-60 or one of their arcades for $140-$150. That way you would get a couple of free games, possibly a bigger hd (with the pro version), controllers, etc.

Yeah, I got mine quite cheap and came with two games. Only reason I bought the Elite was because I wanted the bigger HDD to install more games, and because I use HDMI. And besides...IMO black > white.

for the record, all 60 has had hdmi ports since the core changed name to arcade.

well some of the early arcade had no hdmi port, while some of the late core's had them.

Oh wow, I didn't even know that! So technically didn't he get ripped off quite a bit here then?

No, he got a good deal on a console only. All 360's have an hdmi port now. There is a good table on the differences between the console versions at this link.

It was the console only though, no HD, no controllers, just the black elite 360. He could have paid $140-$150 for a new arcade version (jasper) and get two free games, another controller, etc. for $30 cheaper.

I'll admit I wasn't aware that all 360s had HDMI now, but I don't regret buying the Elite :)

Why would you? Black electronics > * :p

I like buying new because I'm too much of a wuss to buy used electronics. Passwird.com keeps listing the X-Box console family from Dell.com for crazy discounts. Check out: http://www.passwird.com/a/news-archive-22-2-2009.shtml They go fast but I managed to get my Pro this way.

$319 shipped for the elite (new)

$239 shipped for the pro (new)

$159 shipped for the arcade (new)

I saw a place on Amazon that had refurbed Elites for $280, is that good? I would get the pro model but I want the black 360 to match my new big screen and black tv stand.

I also didn't know that they all had hdmi ports now either. Strange.
