no HD DVD playback? :down:

so ... it has a 120gb HDD ... an HDMI output ... with an HDMI cable for an extra $80?

There's not much to that. I'm very surprised about the lack of HD DVD integration.




M$ is trying to make the elite look like a value by charging $179.99 for the 120GB HDD upgrade. MS effectively placed themselves in the PS3's price range. The difference between the $399 premium and $599 PS3 was enough to make the 360 look like a better deal.

Now the $479 elite vs the $499 PS3 20gb will draw more comparisons.

PS3
+ BluRay
- 20GB HDD

360 Elite
+ 120GB HDD
- HD DVD

so, what's worth more to the consumer? A bigger HDD or BluRay?
