Think mine is giving up the ghost and freezing quite alot. Had it a few years now and wouldnt mind upgrading to the Elite version, unless theres anything better at the mo or a great deal on another version?

The price drop for the Elite seems to be over now. Does it have to be an Elite that you get?

Gamestation have this for £229 delivered - Xbox 360 Elite Console with Resident Evil 5, Extra Black Wireless Controller and PGR 4 (Xbox 360)

Doesnt have to be an elite but would like HDMI output and a big HDD. Would like the latest chipset if possible too. Not bothered about games, extras, just the console really.

Have found a Jasper elite in town for £219. No extras, just the console.

They all have the HDMI output now, but only the Elite comes with the cable.

At least if you buy it in town, you can check to whether it's a Jasper or not.

Seems mine is overheating which is causing it to freeze. Ive stuck and desktop fan at the back of it and its been ok for about 3hrs, as opposed to freezing every 20mins.
