The Elite comes packaged with an HDMI cable and the standard composite/component hybrid cable, you're fine by buying the Elite Aaron. $50 more than the Premium bundle in Canada. Good deal. I love my 360. It's the main reason for me selling off most of my stuff a few months ago. And the dislike I have grown for Nintendo in general lately. Oh, Lost Planet is the worst game I've played on the 360 so far, and I have played a lot of games. I didn't even finish the story mode for the achievements...

Maybe the Older model 360+120 GIG Hard Drive could be cheaper then the Elite? If it turns out to be the same price I will just grab the Elite. The pricing on the 360 bundles works sort-of like this... Core + hard drive = price of bundle. But the bundles come with heaps of other things. So the Elite is the best deal going, especially in Canada. I'll be buying one when they switch 'em over to the 65nm CPU process. Largely for the HDMI, I was really excited about that, because the VGA on the 360 was more clean, but the colours weren't great. That has since been fixed, and the VGA output is incredible. :)

I was wondering, is the backwards compatability with original xbox games any good?

Depends on the game. From my experience: Mercenaries - Broken. Game freezes like every 5 minutes. And when it doesn't, the map on the HUD goes all glitchy. It's too bad cause it's flawless otherwise, and better looking than the PS2 version. Red Dead Revolver - Broken. Too many graphical glitches. GTA 3/Vice City - Works? At least I think so, but the controls seemed off to me the last time I played them. Black - Works. Flawlessly from what I remember. GTA San Andreas - Works. Very few, small graphical glitches during cutscenes, otherwise great. I hear several of the games on the "working list" do not work at all past the title screen. My guess is to search for any game on the list that interests you to see if you can find any concerns.

While that is an issue, it's not near as big as it's made out to be.
You still feel that way, Nibbert?
