Re: Leads

The easiest way to check is to look at the back of the 360. Does it have an HDMI input by the AV socket?

Re: Leads

If when i check later it does not have the HDMI socket. would it really be worth investing in an elite 360?

Re: Leads

You don't need to get an elite for hdmi. The hdmi output comes as standard on the arcade, the 360 pro(v2 premium), the halo 3 360, and elite.

They only started releasing them with HDMI outputs in the last few months, how long ago did you get it?

Re: Leads

The Elite is good if you want a bigger HDD, apart from that you would be better off getting an Arcade or Pro.

Apart from the HDMI output and newer chipset they are the same console.

The game graphics are unchanged, the connection could slightly improve the quality but it really does depend on your screen, mine only gives a decent image through HDMI so it was a worthwhile upgrade for me.

What model though? which res will you be using, what connection?

All these things can effect the quality.

You said you've had it for 2 years which will make it a Premium. This was only recently renamed to Pro.
