HDMI possible eventually on a premium?

Mr_White · 23 Apr 2007 at 09:55

Haven't MS already said the premium will eventually get all the stuff the Elite has?

Since the Elite is a limited edition product, the Premium is going to be sold with the same specs once the Elite isn't being sold anymore.

It's not limited. It's there to stay along with the current packages.

I'm pretty sure I read an article that said eventually they'll stop selling them and it'll be back to the normal white premium with the same specs.

Sure I read the core was being dropped and the premium would be the new base model

Really? I'm sure I read somewhere that they were going to sell it along side Core and Premium, permanently.
Hmm I dunno then? Maybe they will bring HDMI etc to the Premium pack? I hope they do TBH because I don't actually like the Black Elite.

That article seems to back up what I read about it being limited edition and being the new premium when the black ones are sold out.

That article is based on speculation that was around the internet, prior to the the official announcement by MS. In the Microsoft announcement they state it is a third package and not a limited edition.

MS said:
"The Elite is not a limited edition. It's permanent. And we will not replace any sku," Penello explained when referring to the flurry of rumors preceeding the official announcement. "We now have three SKUs and we predict the primary seller will continue to be the Pro system."

Am I the only one that does not like the 360 in black?

It looks a lot cheaper, imo.
Say that, white consoles always go a bit yellow over the years.

Not at all, i am not slating it, just saying i feel it will be. As soon as the Elite was announced i thought that it was their HDMI answer tbh.

I was joking!

mcmad said:
Only possible way would be a component to HDMI external box (would also have to convert the audio to HDMI as well), current 360 hardware cant support HDMI, thats why the scalar chip had to be changed.

And how do you know this? I've read a lot of the hear-say on the net about it but seen no facts.

I'd have sold you my premium.

A lot of people seem to find it hard to tell whether I'm being serious or not but I blame that on the general OcUK mentality
