Look, the Halo 3 edition is $50 bucks more and a different puke greeen color. PASS

What you should do is just get the regular xbox 360 just make sure its a newer one so it has an hdmi port.

The only difference on the elite is that it has a bigger harddrive that you wont need unless you want to store movies or music, if you want music you can just attach a external harddrive into usb and it will work just as good for cheaper. Oh and the Elite is black. Thats really the only difference. Microsoft just wanted a ploy to sell and markey more xbox's but they are all the same. Just get a normal one and be happy. plus spring the 20 bucks for one of those newer intercoolers. They will run your 360 so much cooler and it wont overheat like a lot of them do.
