The latest version of the XBOX 360 console is the Elite Edition which boasts a HDMI port, 120GB hard drive and a slick black and chrome finish, compared to the original white and chrome finish. The Elite Edition is aimed at replacing the Premium version as the top end package available to XBOX 360 gamers. The console however does not include any hardware upgrades, it is the same technology inside as the Arcade and Premium XBOX versions, just with extra toys! The console can stand upright or be placed on its side and it looks fantastic either way!

Another note is the gamepads require two AA batteries to operate, their are rechargeable accessories available at extra cost.

XBOX 360 Elite Trusted Reviews

CNET UK Review of XBOX 360 Elite Edition

"Here's the question for current and prospective gamers: is the Elite worth the extra cash? For anyone who owns the existing Xbox 360, the answer is probably no -- the HDMI connector is more a convenience than a necessity, and the larger snap-on hard drive will be available to existing 360 users as an accessory."

Trusted Reviews article on the XBOX 360 Elite Edition

"The lack of an integrated HD DVD drive could well be a missed opportunity though, especially considering that there are no plans for a black external HD DVD drive to match the Elite. That said, the sub £300 price point makes the Elite a very attractive prospect for anyone looking to move up to high definition gaming, while the very strong catalogue of titles keeps Microsoft well ahead of Sony in the next gen console race."
