If I had a dollar for every person I've seen reply with that comment on this story in the last few days...

The redness is sexiness, I'd jump on it if I didn't already have my boring old beige 360. I dunno about the contrast with the red vs green with the lights though, seems a bit rabbitohsish and that's never a good thing.

did anyone read the article or did everyone just read the title? from reading some comments i think some just read the title.
the article clearly says its part of a limited edition resident evil package, so I'm sure alot of people who don't currently own but are interested in buying a 360 would be interested in this red limited edition 360.
i think it would look pretty cool sure beats a plain old white/black/grey machine.
I would of loved one of those simpsons 360's all yellow, would have been a sweet collectors item.

Yeah, I wonder why Nintendo and Sony sell their consoles in multiple colours too...? No, wait, no, I don't.

Lots of people would buy for colour - I even vaguely remember someone on the game exchange forum on this site wanting to sell off one DS Lite because he wanted to get another one in a different colour (could have been a different site).

And red is pretty funky. I just bought a red controller and even my daughter thinks it rocks. icon_smile.gif

The Red Elite is an EB exclusive. I'm seriously considering trading my old Elite for it because for 569 u get RE5 AND Halo Wars Ltd ed, both of which i'd be getting anyways, so with my trade-in it'll only cost me about $130, and then I've got a more reliable 360 with all the new hardware + a new 3 year warranty! Not to mention a fugly red Xbox, but u can hardly see it where I keep it so it doesn't really matter.

Are you sure eb will give you heaps for your old elite in trade in? best to check with them as they were only offering $30 trade in for a premium 360, so I can't see them giving a few hundred extra for an elite.

I *think* he works for EB so he gets his own special trade values.

I do work at EB but Elites trade in for 240 (that's the standard value too)

how much do you get for a standard X360 trade in??

Any mention of what chipsets these 360s will be using?

It's going to depend on what it means by "exclusive RE 5 Theme" if i get it or not,
If it like the halo one the i will get it if it just a picture theme on the screen then i won't bother, as i am already getting the uber editions for ps3 & 360.

The real question is; Is it three times faster? Or does it crash three times as much?

Char Azanable demands answers.

That Red one looks nice, I wouldn't mind picking one up. Looks perfect to do some custom work on.
