The Xbox 360 elite is an amazing console. It has all the features of the original Xbox plus some more that can give you bragging rights plus a bit faster load time.
Some of the cool new features of the Xbox 360 elite is that the console is black, the controllers are black, 120GB Hard drive, and it's packaged with everything. Meaning it comes with the headset, an Ethernet chord, standard/hd outputs, hdmi cable, silver membership and supports both original and new xbox games.
I have had mine for over a year now and I have never gotten the RROD. Now it is possible for the Elite to get it, but you just have to take care of it like any other xbox, that's for another time. The elite's hardware made at the end of 2008 and 2009 is made with a triple core cpu making the xbox 360 double the speed of the original xbox.
Now that the introduction of the 360 elite is finished. Let me tell you about the experiences I've personally had with it. Over the year I've had it I love it every minute.
The 120GB Hard drive is really good if your a big gamer and want to buy games off of the marketplace as well as videos and game demos. It also provides plenty of space if you have multiple Xbox Live accounts so you can save your games to the console.
Everything that the xbox 360 elite comes with helps if I want to play on an hd tv and use my mic online to talk to my friends and other players in the games I'm in. The Ethernet chord was a big saver because I needed an extra Ethernet chord so I could hook my xbox and my computer up to my modem at the same time. The black color just gave me bragging rights :P
Overall the xbox 360 elite is an insane console nothing too different about it from it's brothers but it's great for gaming enthusiasts with the 120gb hard drive. I give the console a 5/5 stars for the outstanding performance, long game play, and all the accessories that came with it
