04/02/07 - Episode 23: Going Elite

Published: April 1, 2007, 2:54 p.m.

b'This week all four regulars are back, and just in time too for a rousing discussion of the pros and cons of the newly announced Xbox 360 Elite. With its 120GB hard drive, HDMI port (plus included cable--take that, Sony!) and sleek black curves, you\'d think it\'d be everything you\'d ever want in a 360. Only, it\'s not. Let the complaining commence.

Our other big discussion in this episode is about Sega\'s NiGHTS sequel and the screenshots/info that were revealed via several European sources last week. Is it going to be a Sega fan\'s wet dream or do Sonic Team\'s recent weak efforts hint at it being utterly underwhelming? The majority consensus here is that Sega and Sonic Team have an uphill battle.
