The Halo 3 360 has the new 65nm chip in it meaning it runs quiter and cooler which means it shouldnt get the RROD as much. It does only come with a 20GB HDD though.

The Elite still has the old 90nm chip in it, but it does come with the 120GB HDD as you said. If you are going to use 120GB HDD i would say buy the Elite, but if your not going to take advantage of the extra space, then i'd say go for the Halo 3. If your going to use the Video Marketplace and IPTV when it comes out then you'll definately need the 120GB.

^ it really depends on the person, if they are the kind that downloads a lot of XBL titles or moives, ya if not, then there is really no point of getting an elite.

Its just an online store where you can download demos, movies, gamertags, themes, arcade games, map packs, etc. It is available on all the consoles BTW, not just the Elite.
