Xbox 360 Pro and Xbox 360 Elite are two versions of Microsoft’s Xbox gaming console. If you are enamored by Xbox 360 after playing games in it at your friend’s place and have decided to buy one for you, congratulations. Xbox 360 is indeed a wonderful gaming device from Microsoft that has been dominating the gaming scene for quite some time now. All Xbox 360 consoles can play games developed by Microsoft, play DVD’s and CD’s and you can even share your media between your PC and your 360. But one thing that will puzzle you is availability of so many versions with different versions. Out of the many models that have so far been launched by Microsoft, Xbox 360 Pro and Xbox 360 Elite are most popular and it is better to go with either of them. But there are differences even in these two models. Here is a description of their features to let you make a better and informed choice.
Though both Pro and Elite are advanced and better versions of the standard model, there is a considerable price difference between the two. Elite is costlier at $449.99, while you can get Pro at $349.99. Of course this price difference has got to do with the storage capacity, as there is only 20GB hard drive with Pro, while you get 120GB hard drive with Elite. If you are a real gaming freak, you would require additional storage space for your games and then Elite is a better choice for you.
With Pro you get the facility of HD cable of up to 1080p whereas Elite makes available both HD and HDMI cables of up to 1080p. Depending upon what your requirements are, this difference in video capabilities might be important.
The motherboards of the two gaming consoles are also different. While Pro comes with Falcon with a 65nm CPU, Elite is fitted with Zephyr motherboard with 65nm CPU.
For those who just love blacks, Elite could be a preferred choice as it is available in black whereas Pro is only available in white. With both Pro and Elite, you get two Xbox games, wireless headset and an Ethernet cable.
