Once the Wii's gone...

My Wii will be on ebay shortly, and I've come to another decision. My Xbox 360's 20GB HDD is now full, having played host to four years worth of game saves, demos, videos, DLC etc...My 360 was one of the launch systems, and as a result, has no HDMI connectivity either, something which is a little annoying as my 1080p HDTV can only go up to 720p via component cables, and my amplifier cannot produce 5.1 / or 7.1 surround sound via component either, only 2.1.

So, the 120GB HDD costs £120 on it's own, and as a result, I'm leaning towards something I considered a few months ago, and buying a 360 Elite, complete with HDMI connectivity and 120GB HDD as standard, and Gamestation are currently offering the Elite with two free games for £220. That's kind of no-brainer as far as I'm concerned.

So, don't tell Chrona, but soon I'll have two 360's. Well, at least until I sell the older one.

Too many terms I don't understand.

Have you ever considered to stop spending that much money on games?
Broaden your horizons Simi boy.

I'm not really spending anything, as it's only money from the sale of the Wii. Whatever's left will go towards reducing my credit card debts.

Point out the relevant ones, and I'll try to explain. I'm a bit of a tech geek, I know. Smile

Get the money and go for shopping.
But don't buy games, buy clothes.

Clothes don't interest me at all.

Just hope you don't get burned. My friend did the same thing and his elite died after about 8 months. Razz

Well, I've got the Elite. What is annyoing is that it doesn't come with the necessary cable to transfer data from my 20GB HDD to my 120GB HDD. You can get it for free, by sending off to Microsoft, but surely that's a pretty large omission?

That aside, I'm very happy. 1080p may not be much sharper than 720p, but the difference is noticeable, and I finally have my 5.1 surround sound. Oh, and the Elite runs much quieter than it's older sibling. Luvverly.
