Today while doing some hardware shopping at the local MediaMarkt I ran across the red RE5 Elites. For some reason I forgot to check the team/dates/voltages but I will go back tomorrow to do so. If the rumors of the discontinuation of the Elite are true I will have to buy it, although I would prefer the black one.
I will return with more info.
By the way, I live in Thessaloniki, Greece.
Why do you "have" to buy it? This is what I don't understand... You want the elite, but you'll take red anyway as long as it's an elite. So what exactly is it about the elite that you like?? Cause you could even save some money buying an arcade and the 120GB hard disk on the side, if the storage is what you're wanting... If it's the color I understand, (but if you're willing to take a red one, then that's not it), but if not, then this whole elite thing is junst pointless....
It seems that zvidde and me same opinion, so let me explain from my point of view:
I have an original XBox 360 (20Gb HD and no HDMI port), so what I want is:
- 120Gb
- HDMI
- Jasper
It cost the same (at least in the US) to get an Arcade + 120Gb + HDMI cable, or get an Elite.
I really like the black Elite, but if I can't get one, then the red Elite will give me Resident Evil instead of whatever the Arcade includes (which I don't really care about).
Plus, I'll have a limited edition console
This is just my logic behind my decision and how I feel about the whole arcade/black/red thing.
