I said good quality not high quality. I also I didn't say that it would also constantly spin @ 7,200 RPM but when you need it you will get those speeds. Also another difference is that these are purpose built and pre-installed HDD built to work with the Xbox 360 only. You can still utilize a bigger HDD in the Xbox 360 w/o 1st party but it can only store music/pictures/videos and not game files or DLC.

"Developers cant even use the 360 hard drive ...
HDD will stay at a near constant 7,200 RPM the entire time I use it? Thats where the price comes from and thats purpose built and good quality equipment.
Will be getting IPTV through an update and I didn't expect it on the Elite because IPTV isn't apposed to be out until Christmas time.
To compare the HDD in the Xbox 360 to a HDD you pick up for a couple dollars is dumb. This is because the one in the Xbox 360 must reach speed requirements and must maintain these speeds for long periods of time. The other problem is that the Xbox 360 HDD has all the security and so on software thats needed to work with it and allow it to save games and so on.
In short, The HDD in your Xbox 360 isn't the same kind you can pick up from CompUSA now please stop with the dumb c...
"because were talkin from a hardwear stand point and it seems like the ps3 is slower and to say its not fair is wrong because theres a reason ps3 didnt have a core ps3 is because blu-ray wouldnt make up for its speed, its obvious why sony didnt use a removeable HDD because of blu-ray."
How is it not fair? Your comparing different types of disk drives and different CPU architecture that are only similar by the end result. The point of having a removable HDD isn't to ...
This is one point but I think your going to see the disk drive limit it before the CPU.
By making it look to good?
Blu-Ray takes longer to read the disc and you can install games on the PS3 and you will have faster load times.
Xbox 360 has a faster reading capability and the better compression allows more information to be moved at once. You cannot install games onto the Xbox 360 to make the load times faster.
They are unfair comparisons because of the way you can separately setup each of them and they use a different type of disk drives and both reads the information differ...
Treat it as one. Lamborghini names their cars after bulls that doesn't mean they are bulls by definition.
You must atleast come with HD cables which neither PS3 package comes with.
"Microsoft shoots for the moon we shoot for the Sun"?
GaMr its all about choice just like the HD-DVD drive you don't have to get it and not getting it won't affect your gaming experience. Same with Xbox 360 Pre vs Elite since getting the Elite won't in anyway affect your gaming or online gaming experience. You can still do everything you can on each other system. But if you want the convenience of the extra HDD space or HDMI(Although not needed to do anything component cables won't) then its an awesome package for you. I can tell you right n...
Things needed for gaming
PS3: 600$
1/2 the HDD space
Doesn't come with any cables except for Composite(not HD-Ready)
Xbox 360 Elite: 480$
120 GB HDD
HDMI cables, Component Cables, Composite Cables, Optical Cable, and Ethernet Cable.
Atleast Microsoft is supplying two kinds of HD cables with it and 3 kinds of audio cable. Sony the PS3 won't display HD in composite meaning their system is not HD-Ready out of the box no you have to spend another 50+$ to do that.
@ DAverage
You for forgot to mention that if you only have on HDMI port and its already in use for your Tivo or so on not only do you have to buy a cable and a splitter. If you want surround sound well thats an entirely different sto...
If this were the case wouldn't Sony want us more since its so cheap to live here we must have tons of money to blow. BTW in a little while i'm going to be paying even more just because our Governor wants to widen an entire highway that I might never use.(BTW its a democrat)
Sony stop making excuses.
Didn't make a region wait almost a year to get it.
the Wii was in short supply and the Xbox 360 even shorter in supply. So if the PS3 beats its launch record I don't really care because if it didn't that would've been very sad. There is one thing the PS3 can't say over the Xbox 360 or Wii and thats that it didn't have a total sell out like the Wii and Xbox 360 did.
and buy one everyday?
I didn't say all I just said most.
If your TV component inputs are used up and you have an extra unused HDMI port. This has nothing to do with the change of quality or anything.
