Does anyone have like a spec chart or comparison chart for all the Xbox 360 consoles? I hear the new 60 gig Xbox has a new chip and stuff inside it. Does the Elite have the same stuff? I'm asking because I need to buy a new 360 and I want a good one.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xbox_360

About a quarter of the way down the page is a good chart, although it does not have any information pertaining to the new chip. I suppose that the chip doesn't make much of a difference anyway.

I would get the 60 gb model, it is guaranteed to have the newest chip set and an adequate HDD

It does, a significant one.

and what would that be?

much reduced chance of overheating and having parts bend onto other parts and rendering your 360 fairly useless

The newer chipsets use less energy, and thus produce less heat, which then reduces chances, greatly, of the console failing, as Scotty said. I think having a significantly increased chance of my console failing would be a noteworthy detriment.

So the 60 gig is better than the Elite?

The Elite has always been the first console to receive a new chip set. I don't know which set the 60gb models have. When the 60gb models came out, Ben Heck showed that they had the normal GPU and the 65nm CPU, which is the same as the current Elite models.

Also the RAM overheat problem was solved by removing ram chips from underneath the board, only the 60gb models have these

Ah. So then it would appear the 60gb has a better core system than the Elites, at the current time. I was unaware of that, thanks for the info.

as off systems made in july it looks like the arcade systems have the new chipset as well.
i had to take my old xbox back to the shop and got given one with a manu date of 23/07/2008 and it seems to have all the newest chips in it.
Unopned of course but by looking through the holes and such.

That doesn't apply to his situation. He's asking specifically about the 60gig consoles and the Elites, neither of which are applicable in your post.

in a non-direct way i feel it does.
if the arcade systems have the new chipset im almost certain the 60GB and elite versions have the new chipsets.

But the question was already answered, so why would you repost the answer in a way you call indirect?
