Sony got arrogant, however, I feel they've recently changed their attitude. It's MS I worry about now, they just seem to be going the completely wrong direction on their 360 model.
For christ's sake, no "Elite" just don't! Until you have an Elite option don't try to fool the market. What we've got is a "Premium Plus..." A Rubbish name, but in my eyes, an HD upgrade and an HDMI port is a rubbish reason to add a new SKU to the market.
Until MS releases a console based on a new revision CPU and with a built in Wireless module then they are going the wrong way. HDMI is pretty much a must to compete with the PS3, purely for marketing reasons imo, but as of now they should just stick with the cheaper Premium.
I do not agree that the HD DVD drive should be built in, MS would have done it with the "Elite" if they had any faith in the format, they clearly don't. They've said they could release a Blu-Ray drive, there we go, they would go whatever way... Since I buy my consoles to play games and not movies I really do not care.
A 120gb HD, yep... No thanks. HDMI port? Nah. The same hardware that has definite reliability issues, for a higher price? You've got to be smacked out your face MS... Pull the other one.
BTW, I'm a 360 owner and I would love MS to win this generation.
