Xbox 360 Elite hits the market early, Target to thank

Waiting around another week or so for Microsoft's Xbox 360 Elite to hit the market didn't seem all that painful from here, but to those looking to get their sweaty palms around the sleek, HDMI-enabled rig on the double, you can apparently fulfill your fantasy right now. Unsurprisingly surfacing on none other than eBay, the world's first Xbox 360 Elite bundle to leave Target's doors in a customer's hands has arrived, and if the small bevy of photos and actual receipt aren't enough to arraign some careless bullseye-sporting employee, we don't know what is. Of course, if you're still unwilling to shell out the above-MSRP asking price, you can always patiently place a pre-order, enjoy the hands-on photos, and envision yourself in the place of those Microsoft drones playing with it on video.

What are they smokin' cause I want me some!!! $800 was the last bid.

Yeah But, IS IT QUIETER???

Never saw a clear answer to this question. I doubt it since the are not using the smaller processor, etc. I just want to hear it from the horses mouth rather than a bunch of opinion.

Target always seems to have games or consoles in early.

I'm going to wait for the 60nm CPU version, thank you very much (these things still run too hot and loud)

[Mike D @ Apr 19th 2007 3:00PM]

msrp means manufacturer suggested retail price so .. manufacturer suggested retail price asking price? kinda like atm machine don't you think?

... and then you've gotta spend $20 on the Charge& Play Kit, $100 on the Wifi Adapter, $60 on the Wireless Headset, $60 on your first game...

I've had my 360 a month and already I've spent well over $800 on it.

doesn't the 360 come with a headset though?

[Andy @ Apr 19th 2007 4:32PM]

Yeah, the Premium and Elite come with the headset already.

Who cares about the 60-5nm processor? I mean, it doesn't run any faster, only a bit cooler. If you are having problems with it over heating, then get your 360 out of the oven.

I have mine right next to me on my desktop (I play on my PC monitor [High Definition]) and I never have problems with any "loudness".

Here we go with the "is it quiet??" LOL... does it matter??? when I'm playing, I dont hear nothing but the game. What?? You got a newborn baby and just GOTTA play on mute while the baby's sleeping?? STOP.

[REP96st @ Apr 19th 2007 10:32PM]

Heres a good question me being anti-Sony....

Does te PS3 have any games??? I'd rather have a deep libray of great games and a loud as hell system than one that runs ninja quiet with barely any games... average games at that!
