I'd imagine any retailer that offers Xbox will have them.

The only difference is HDMI (overblown, as the regular one does 1080p just fine) and the 120GB drive, which is available separately. Oh, and it's black.

By fall all of them will likely have HDMI, not to mention being smaller, cooler, and quieter due to the 65nm chips.

hdmi is digital, component is analog.

hdmi is also electrically identical to dvi. Which is better? Depends on bitrate, but the difference isn't really that much. The 360 also does VGA (aka RGB)

You're not going to really see the difference playing video games. However if you plan on using your 360elite to view HD-DVD movies, it may have a small (positive) impact.

Don't forget that it comes standard with the wireless controller only.

I was going to until I heard it won't have the new 65nm chip.. I'll wait until MS starts using them later this year before I buy one.
