The Elite is a good price for someone that has not got a 360 for what you get its great I paid £280 for my Premium plus I had to buy a game. Most good shop are doing a free game with the Elite.

The main letdown with the Elite is they still haven't done anything to address to the Red Ring of Death issues. I think they put a drop of hot glue over the corners of the mobo, GPU, CPU, but it isn't a total fix to the connectors on the motherboard coming loose from the heat. It would cost MS next to nothing to rig up something similar to the X Clamp replacement and implement it, but they'd rather just add HDMI, change the color, and up the HD size as a quick fix.
