hello,
just brought a new 40" LCD and was considering buying an elite, i have got an arcade with all the add ons (hard drive, etc, etc)
was just wondering if there are any real benefits in getting one or not?

Didnt they release a GTA4 elite package thing? or was it Halo? I remember it was like greena nd orange looked mint...
I think the main advantage is the bigger HDD, I would get an elite myself but I have got 5 consoles already linked up and got no space what so ever

Owdo mate, Theres not much benefit in having the Elite if you havnt got a HD tv, and my understanding is that your new super duper Samsung is not HD You get a bigger hard drive but thats it - oh and its black instead of white. Still pisses on PS3 though

Defo worth buying it comes through much clearer, as its HDMI lead, but the 2nd version of premiums have HDMI on them now also, but elite is more reliable and alot quieter.

I would rather keep £250 than have something which is more reliable and quieter.

an excellent choice sir, get yourself a gamegear while your at it. Why anybody ever bought a gameboy is beyond me.

it is HD, its just not 1080 whats it running at then Ben? I was under the impression that if a TV doesn't run to 1080 (i or p) then its not HD. and as for the PS3 - I'm thinking of selling mine cuz its just so fucking shit!!!

it runs at HD, but 1080 is, or so i believe, is described as "full HD",
so my picture is much better then normal, but not as good as that,
but i dont own a blu-ray player or sky hd, so i dont really need it at the moment, maybe a few years down the line,
coming next thursday,
cant wait ;D

guys, 720p, 1080i are generally accepted as HD ready
1080p is "Full HD" - skyhd broadcasts in 1080i - interlaced - and always will do so as it uses half the bandwidth
xbox and ps3 are capable of 720, 1080i, 1080p, etc, etc
Unless you have a massive TV, its all bollox anyway....

Dee51, why is the PS3 shit? Fuck me Turtle - how long have you got. A few points (not all):- Online is shit and complicated to set up No achievements for games Horrible interface Same games as the 360 (apart from the ones that are...ahem...promised for the future) Demo disks don't play straight from the disk - you have to install them all first Finding what friends are playing mid game is a nightmare The Playstation Store (piss myself laughing at it) Controllers give you arthritis after 10 mins Sony continue to take the piss out of European customers Metal Gear online (hahahah) I could go on but really couldnt be arsed, suffice to say that in my opinion the PS3 is even worse than the Wii. 360 is proven and is here to stay, PS3 has still to deliver, whether it will or not is the ultimate question. I personally think the PS4 will be out before the PS3 even gets out of the blocks.

not impressed then my 360 has given up the ghost - RROD repairs unsuccesful Can't decide whether to buy another xbox or a ps3 - I'm edging towards getting a 360 arcade version so that I can transfer my hdd across to it and use my existing controllers - £150 and I'm back up and running with warranty I guess you'd advise 360 then
