Necessity dictates that if you're an Xbox lover and fan of HD downloads, then the Xbox 360 Elite is the only way forward. But it seems that all is not well with the most expensive of Microsoft's hub, with reports emerging that the console is about to get a dose of the Red Rings of Death.
According to Electronista, the top end console is going to be killed off in its everyday incarnation, with only limited edition, game themed models coming with 120GB of on board storage.
Word is that the recession, coupled with knockdown prices for the Arcade and Pro versions, is causing the console to pile up in stores the world over. Microsoft is planning an official announcement in the next fortnight, with those after more storage for XBLA and movie extras being offered bigger upgrade drives instead.
Either way, it's a blow for Microsoft's plans to lead the HD download revolution with their newest Xbox.
What do you think? Is the Xbox 360 Elite still worth it? Or is the 60GB Pro enough for you? Tell us in the comments section.
