True I also forgot to mention the 2 x original gameboys, 1 gameboy advance, 1 gameboy sp, and an Atari Lynx

General concensus is that wireless networking is pretty useless in a "media" oriented console, especially where streaming content is concerned. MS made a good decision making it optional. I for one would never use it.

 

I use it and it streams fine from my laptop to the 360 for both WMV files and music. Photo's stream across quickly too. Setting up wireless on the 360 is such a faff they really should have built it in for what it costs.

 

What sort of wmv are you streaming?

 

Well, they haven't included wireless and that's that. I know my feelings on the issue.

Still, makes no odds to me, no way am I buying an "elite" box to replace my Premium.

I presume at some point they are going to release the 120GB as an add on (at some extortionate price)

 

They have already announced it Pete (in the USA). It works out at about £95. A bit pricey, but not massively so (when you consider that a similar spec laptop HD is around £86).

It's a shame they didn't use a fiull size drive in the machine instead of the smaller one. Would have reduced the cost a fair amount...

 

Yup - I can understand it for aestetic reasons, it does fit quite nicely and is obviously a breeze to fit. But it would have been nice to be able to swap in any old 3.5" drive.

 

will they produce a white one i wonder, not keen on the black

 

Racist!

 

The back one is limited edition. Once they've sold MS has said they'll start producing them in the standard white colour.

 

..

 

Well the quote I read from MS said that the elite console as a whole isn't a limited edition, but the black version of it is. Once the batch has sold (rumoured to be around 200,000 units) they will start producing them in white instead.

I guess we'll find out soon enough

 

I'd read that they were going to be white eventually too. Hope so, I don't want a black one either, but would like HDMI.

 

You got the worst Amiga - should have gone for a 500 or 1200

 

I keep considering a Xbox 360 - but I would need white to match the Wii and the Mac Mini media center.

 

Very true, but the 500 was no longer made when I finally got around to getting one

 

I blew mine up a long time ago

In fact, I only fancy a 360 for the Sensi Soccer they have.

Might as well stick a real Amiga under the TV!!

 

Nah, you want one of these

Sensible Soccer 2 Player Plug 'n' Play

Also comes with Cannon Fodder loaded on it

 

2 really great games. But It just doesn't seem right without a real Zipstick!
