Lacks integrated high-def disc player
Netflix and a handful of music streaming websites are the only internet content that this server offers.
Noisy fan remains from previous versions
Nothing to tempt existing owners
Like the original Xbox 360
The Elite generates a considerable amount of noise and heat. Console still lacks internal Wi-Fi. Power supply is way too bulky. No internal high-definition optical drive.

The Xbox 360 Elite is a solid system worth owning, but only if you can take advantage of its features – and if you do not currently own an Xbox 360 system. If you currently have an Xbox 360, then you will want to pass on the upgrade as there are onl...

The Elite fails to correct most of the annoyances of the original 360 version: the noisy DVD drive and cooling fan; a gigantic, oversize power supply; no built-in wireless networking; only three USB ports; a substandard DVD player; support for next-gen...
While its neither a must-have upgrade for existing 360 owners nor as feature-packed as the PS3, the Xbox 360 Elites combination of top-notch gaming and digital media features make it the current game console of choice.
If youre buying a new 360, get an Elite - simple as that. If youve already got one, this is pretty much a cosmetic upgrade – but you might want to look into getting the separate 120GB hard drive when it comes out... ...

Improved storage, HDMI support and included cable, Small price premium over standard 360
No Wi-Fi as standard, HD DVD drive still an add-on extra
After nearly two years on sale in the UK, Microsoft today launched the first major update of the Xbox 360. The Elite is slicker, its snazzier, and its a little more expensive at £299. But is it any better? Of course, we could forgive Microsoft for no...
Abstract: enhanced xbox 360 console, but not enhanced enough: The enhanced version of Microsofts successful gaming console has to realistically be marked down as a missed opportunity. On one hand its undoubtedly a powerful beast, and better equipped to go toe-to-to...
Better value than Premium. Big hard drive. New HDMI connection. Smart paint job
