Really? I didn't know that about the green. Maybe I should take my oxbox outside some time.
Nah.

New Details on Migrating to the Elite

I don't think it really gets much clearer than this:
Well thats good news.
You can fit yours through a door? I had to build my house around it.
As for the free transfer cable - I thinks I'll just order me one of those anyway. I get the feeling Microsoft might be regretting that statement roughly ten million times
$0.01
And the oxbox has nothing on the behemoth known as the PS3. I remember sticking it into my entertainment center and realizing that the only thing that would share space with it was the PS2. :lol:
Back on topic, I'm waiting until this hits and hopefully doesn't share the (perceived?) instability of the Premium. Then I'll get one. That $179 HD is still a rip-off though.

Sixkiller mad a good point in that they should practically be giving them away or subsidizing the cost, considering the bulk of what you will be storing on it is paid marketplace content.
Looks like he's going to get my hand me down 360 also.
It's going to be nice putting my as of yet unused HDMI port to use, along with freeing up the component for continuous use for the Wii. Plus the bigger HD drive is very nice.

They probably just didn't show it, but it would be pretty sweet if it really doesn't have the external brick.

That was debunked earlier. Doesn't make sense.

Otherwise the Premium is still the best value for the dollar.

In terms of pure economic value the elite is the better value. In terms of marginal value it's a premium/elite toss up.
muh.

It doesn't support DD+, TrueHD or 5.1 PCM lossless sound. That kinda cripples it if you're a movie buff. Or like awesome sound in games.
OH NOES! MY BRAIN CANDY!

Yea, that's disappointing. I wonder why? The 1.3 spec is set already. Are they planning on releasing another one with HDMI 1.3? It makes no sense.
Edit: Ok, I just read a little deeper into that thread, and he mentions that they'd started work on this one before the 1.3 HDMI was finalized...but the PS3 has it, so something doesn't mesh with that. It was finalized in June 2006.

Also, for those who don't know, this is what HDMI 1.3 does:
For the majority of folks who pick up an HDTV later in the year, it will probably have this. It's not a deal-breaker, but would've been nice.

... what's wrong with optical, exactly?
I guess I'll never understand.
HD-DVD spec does not support losseless PCM audio like Blu-Ray. The same probably goes for some of the rest. I dunno if no spec support means no player support on alternate streams, but I doubt it.
Umm, a lot. For one, not many switchers switch optical and DVI together. HDMI fixes that.
Other than Deep Color, the audio and sync features are really more of a feature for your HDMI receiver than your display. All that other crap is just saying that they tightened up the signal tolerances for the spec to guarantee that level of performance (IOW, "only well-made cables meeting these specs may apply"). Obviously, many HDMI1.1 cables exceed the 1.3 signal specifications, but they can't "prove it" to the device without being HDMI 1.3.
All HDMI specifications support 1080p. 1.3 only added DeepColor and some more signaling crap (audio sync with a video processor's delay by informing the 1.3 compliant device of the video latency over the HDMI cable).
The step didn't go from 1.2 to 1.3/ There's a 1.2a in there too.
