Xbox 360 Classic vs. Elite

As we said before, these are using the old round of 90nm chips, not the 65nm variety. So it goes without saying that using the same chips as before, these things are going to produce the same amount of heat. We didn’t run an 18 hour stress test or anything (obviously), but both units did feel about the same after an hour of playing games and movies, and they both felt like they were outputting about the same amount of heat.

After reading this, it’s difficult to feel excited about the Elite version. In their comparison tests, they had to try hard to see minor differences between component and HDMI. I think it’s safe to say that I’m sticking with my Premium console.
