Rumor: Xbox Elite getting axed

[semiautomatix]

@IAP

Instead of continually derailing the thread with how much better the ps3 is because of X, Y and X, stick to the topic. All you've spoken about is:

PS3>Xbox
Droids have KZ2 and xbots don't
Ps3 is more value than an Elite
Xboxs are for poor people who play illegal games
Killzone2
Ps3 has HD so its better
Mentioning the ps2 in relation to the Xbox <comment to this line removed due to blatant swearing>
Ps3 > Xbox again

I don't speak afrikaans but judging by maestro's post it looks like you think the 360 is inferior.

The underlined statement was the only reference you made to the topic: and you dragged the ps3 into it.

The biggest problem isn't his undying belief that the PS3 is better than the XBox 360 (well all have our opinions, and are entitled to them) but that he keeps pushing these opinions in each and every single thread.

@IAP: keep the banter in the XBox vs PS3 thread and refrain from derailing other threads, please. Simply put: stay on topic or don't post.

You honestly need to grow up and get a clue. Your posts smack of immaturity.

Lets see the value you trolled! Pot callingthe kettle black! Bwahahaha!

Is IAP talking to himself again? Okay everyone, back to ignore.

And I know people who have both and a certain darker console sits unplugged as a heavy paperweight. Each to his own, and I sincerely don't give a **** (see what I did?) about what your opinion is because you own both.

Just put "George Foreman" on the front?

Nice going KID!

OMW they are now going all EMO on me! poor man! I must have touched some nerve!

@IAP

Instead of continually derailing the thread with how much better the ps3 is because of X, Y and X, stick to the topic. All you've spoken about is: Check YOUR derailing facts again my man!
PS3>Xbox FACT
Droids have KZ2 and xbots don't FACT
[-]Ps3 is more value than an Elite[/-] FACT
Xboxs are for poor people who play illegal games DID I say that ?
Killzone2 ?????? FACT
Ps3 has HD so its better Another FACT, thanks

Mentioning the ps2 in relation to the Xbox <comment to this line removed due to blatant swearing> Sensitive fact ????? All EMO! LOL
Ps3 > Xbox again FACT

[-]I don't speak afrikaans but judging by maestro's post it looks like you think the 360 is inferior.[/-] to what? FACT anyway
Oh, that was Defunts comment not yours... All EMO! Bwahahahaha! Defunct is right then not?

please show where you stuck to the topic in this thread Tim claimed its the price and economic era, I dispute the claim because the PS3 and WII still sells thus must be offering more value, NOT?

+100 Timgaul

Now lets SEE again!

The topic says: Rumor: Xbox Elite getting axed

Mr Timgaul foolishly claims this:

Well its the price, no one (especially in current economic climes) is willing to pay that much for a games and entertainment console.

I posted a response with the intent to make it clear that Yeah! nobody wants the elite for that price as it offers little/no value. Yet people are buying PS3's and WII's at that elevated prices and even more IN this same economic climate.

You mean a games console only. Some ARE willing to pay for a games and ENTERTAINMENT console (read my lips. PS3). If you look at the WII sales the comment is even more bizzare!

Then Mr clever Xbox Fanboi retorted with this "ON TOPIC" attack:

You continue to be an absolute waste of space. The XBox 360 is both a games and entertainment console, that is why I clarified it above for gimps like you. But honestly some people are too stupid to learn or listen.

FActs. The PS3 offers much more as an entertainment console therefore it sells. The WII offers a bvroader "funfare" experience for all agaes therfore it selss. What does the Elite have to offer in adddition to the Arcade/Pro?

A harddrive and some extra interface. AT WHAT PRICE!


Then followed this "ON TOPIC" comment

Its funny how PS3 nutcases always barge in on Xbox news. Its like they are waiting for threads that allow them to bash the Xbox. When push comes to shove, the PS3 still looks like a snackwich maker...

Then Timgual followed up with this fanboi tripe! "ON TOPIC" I guess.

And the PS3 has a cheap ass graphics adapter. Well done, more for less! You'd think with all Sony put into the cell processor that would have put more thought into the supporting components.

So how much did your 52" LCD screen cost, by the way?

And Mr Xbox Fanboi 2 added this OUT OF CONTEXT, ALL cropped up emotions over 100's of posts/threads. All facts but Mr sensitive hate these facts. All "ON TOPIC I guess!

@IAP
PS3>Xbox FACT
Droids have KZ2 and xbots don't FACT
[-]Ps3 is more value than an Elite[/-] FACT
Xboxs are for poor people who play illegal games Your emotion
Killzone2 FACT Its a great game, The best ever FPS!
Ps3 has HD so its better FACT
Mentioning the ps2 in relation to the Xbox <comment to this line removed due to blatant swearing> Your emotion Many still buy the PS2 even today!
Ps3 > Xbox again

FACT again

So eat your heart out because of the above facts Mr fanboi! It' really sucks to be on the losing side! Hmmmmmm. Sorry I made you and your console feel totally sub standard or inferior but unfortunately facts are just facts.

Then open your eyes, read, comprehend and use your brain for a change!

What I find very strange is that some idiots do not even realise they did the derailing. Must be some dilapidated mental state!

I responded to your absolute rubbish claim by indicating that the WII and more expensive PS3 is still selling so then explain why the ELITE is failing? Hmmm. Nothing about the economy as you claim just the fact that the ELITE offers no value as compared to the consoles I mentioned.

If Microsoft are indeed axing the Elite, it could mean they are planning to release something nice.

Xbox slim?

Wii/PS3 devouring deathstar?

Maybe.

 

[maestro_za]

Seeing as I own an Elite, I don't see where the it adds no value aspect of the argument. The name choice was a misnomer as the hard drive capacity was the main aspect to differentiate it from the other models.

It offers an alternative black finish for number one, it has all the HD peripherals you need in the box (official MS HDMI cable and audio breakout box) and it has the 120GB HDD which is the biggest capacity on offer as we speak.

My feeling is that it will be replaced with a bigger capacity HDD in the near future in another Xbox 360 model, maybe the last quarter of this year.

The Resident Evil 360 is merely to coincide with the release, and if you're a fanboi you get a bundled copy of the game saving you some dosh.

As for the other "facts", going on and on about the PS3 'is better' and Wii 'outsells all other consoles', of which only the latter is true ... is a derailment of the thread IAP.

The thread should be of the merits of the possible extinction of the Elite, not more fanboi flaming of the respective consoles. It's not a console war thread for goodness sakes.

Hence the fact that I get really 'moeg en siek en sat' of the constant trolling of all the threads. Be it Xbox 360, PS3, NDS, PSP or Wii related.

It is immature to constantly get a fight going. Hence the reason for my valid response in Afrikaans to Defunct's post earlier.

And to add to that, despite the PS3 fans constant blase attitude towards the Xbox 360 ... it still has the overall lead over the Sony console.

There are people actually interested in the large game library it (360) has.

So spec-wise it (360) might miss a Blu-Ray player and full HD in terms of audio, it has a great Live experience (you get what you pay for) and in the US the Netflix service is proving to be a great success.
Streaming 720p over a broadband connection is a great initiative. I assume Europe will get the service once all the licensing and other issues are sorted out.

South Africans of course with the pathetic excuse of broadband over here, must just look enviously at true broadband services and the great entertainment it provides.

The future is not bleak, so the sooner PS3 fanbois realise that ... the better ...

I do not know the real reason why M$ is axing the Elite. The claim that it is due to the economy is just lidicrous when looking at the sales of the PS3 and WII. That was my point. I did not derail the thread or start the insulting or argument. Go read the start again. I cannot help when certain fanbois have so many gripes and insecurities that they attack me for mentioning that the PS3 still sells and the reason why people buy it is that it has more to offer than the Elite for the price, the same with the WII.

Let see who started the issue as usual and I get hammered

You mean a games console only. Some ARE willing to pay for a games and ENTERTAINMENT console (read my lips. PS3). If you look at the WII sales the comment is even more bizzare!

You continue to be an absolute waste of space. The XBox 360 is both a games and entertainment console, that is why I clarified it above for gimps like you. But honestly some people are too stupid to learn or listen
