I want to replace my premium and purchase an Elite. I have a few questions though...
1) I saw this on Wikipedia... (along with various rumors amongst forums across the net):
"Since these problems surfaced, design modifications have been made to the console to improve reliability. All consoles manufactured after June 2007 have extensive revisions from the earliest units. Modifications include a reduction in the number, size and placement of components, and the addition of dabs of epoxy on the corners and edges of the CPU and GPU, as glue to prevent movement relative to the board during heat expansion,
[119] and a second GPU heatsink to dissipate more heat."
The Elite was released in August 2007. So, this means the Elite is less prone to overheating (causing the Red Ring of Death, etc.), right? Anyone have an opinion on this, or have an Elite that broke down?
2) Besides having HDMI, I heard that the Elite is quieter in some circumstances than the typical xbox 360. I also saw a youtube video showing this fact. Can anyone confirm?
3) Are there other advantages to having an Elite other than what I mentioned?
Thanks to anyone who helps. Please, no comments about pricing or the size of the hard drive. I already know these things, and pricing/HD is NOT a factor in me purchasing this.
