What are you playing at the moment?

Or component cable last i read, it'll be composite only.

If i'm honest i think MS have made a poor decision, they should have just dropped the elite from the lineup. What has made the 360 so popular in the past is that you could pick up a console with all the parts you needed to play games for just over half what a PS3 cost. Now they've dropped what i would say was by far the most appealing model, the pro, in favour of a unit that lacks a key component (the hard drive) and a unit that is only £30 less than a PS3 yet lacks features in comparison to its now only marginally more expensive competitor.

Consumers love buzz words, like wireless and bluray, they're new, they're 'modern', simple and easy to use. But they like money more, when the 360 was half the price they would obviously opt for that, but now, for a measly £30 more they could have some extra buzz words in their console. It will be interesting to see how the sales of the elite fare against the PS3 slim.

I've been reading a little about it and i'm pleased to say it doesn't involve the single player campaign from the 360 release; i want to experience that as it was meant, not with potentially game breaking co-op. What they've done is design 30 co-op challenges from the ground up with enemy AI geared towards being able to deal with two players at once. On top of this there's two more playable characters in the single player storyline, but like the original Sigma you won't use these guys in the original levels, but in new levels put in to pad out the storyline a bit. It really sounds like they've added really solid elements to the game, built from the ground up. I was just expecting a few more challenges and a couple of extra playable characters but they seem to be going the whole hog.

Fingers crossed for the framerate though!
