Anyone here got an Elite?

You've been had then mate. The retail 120 GB is supposed to come with the cable.

Microsoft are only supplying the transfer cable (currently for free) by request if you've bought an Elite as they do not ship with the cable.

not really as i got it for cheap;) i'll just get a transger cab;e for cheap at a later date, i'm not too bothered about my viva pinata save at the moment, i'm just wondering what else i won't be able to transfer:(:mad:
 
Trick is to put it under your desk or something.

Last night I was playing Bioshock. I had the volume up loud and window shut and boy was it hot! Elites run HOT!
 
Can't see why an Elite would run any hotter than any other 360 - they're exactly the same, just with an HDMI port and an extra heatsink (which are appearing in Premiums anyway) :confused: I guess maybe the extra heatsink could result in more hot air coming out the back due to the more efficient cooling system.
 
What size fans are in the xbox 360? I've been considering getting some quiet fans for it...

This is all exactly what I didn't want to hear with the Elite. Same old noisy/red hot machine as before, various different parts from various different manufacturers, so it's still a lottery getting a decent maching. No doubt the dvd drives are still the same models as before too, ranging from disc scratchers to unreadable disc errors all over the place. I had hoped with new revisions the 360 would have matured into a really nice, quiet and cool, must have machine. I can't ever see myself bothering with them now, even after all this time. Here's hoping the ps3 gets some decent titles and drops in price in the new year. If not I think i'll be sticking with my modded xbox1 forever lol :(

its a great console thats why. the games are amazing, its worth the risk and annoyance.
 
Out of interest, do all UK Elites have the new GPU heatsink and daughter heatsink?
I've noticed my 360 does get slightly warmer on its left side, and air is warmer out the back (placebo perhaps? ;))
It's black so it attracts more heat! ;)

All new production units be they Core, Premium or Elite, should have the new heatsink and motherboard changes.

Replacements may still be old stock though as I had a replacement unit on 10th August (manufacture date of Nov 2006) which didn't have the new heat sink.
