The impressive thing about this (for the price) is that it includes the sound card crap inside that you need to use headphone monitors. Most beginner setups make you purchase an external sound card with multiple inputs so you can map one to your headphones. Very impressed.

This came at a perfect time for me. I already bought a Torq Mixlab off Woot for $65, but it requires a sound card to use headphone monitors. I have been tempted by the $350 Hercules and Numark OmniControl while waiting for delivery of the Mixlab, but I'll just throw it on eBay and go for this instead.

Can't really remember... not too afraid of the dark really.

Do want.

On one of the promotional things for the 360 Elite Rebate which pimped the update as benefits, November was listed as the release month in the fine print.

Yep, it's the equivalent of a manufacturer's rebate. The only catch is that you must purchase the white-box Elite (newest version).

Haha, well at least you managed to spell both their names wrong.

Seems to be dead already. I added it to the cart and applied the coupon and it said it's not valid on any items in the cart.

I sure do hope this thing identifies your computer as one that came out after Leopard was released so that you can just do a fresh install from the Snow Leopard disc instead of an install-and-immediate-upgrade. That would suck.

Needless to say, I ordered my Up-To-Date back in July and I'm looking forward to playing with it on Friday.

i could use this.

I think they should start with a $50 price cut. Let's not forget how much of a loss Sony took recently.
