Hey i just earned 600 bucks from a job, i already have the money separated for most of the good games that i want, but i was thinking maybe i buy a 360, i play a lot so i don't want a red ring, so which one of the many types of 360 should i buy?

[Xx-CHURCHY-xX]

you wont get RRoD from just playing it a lot. it was something that was over hyped for no reason. i did get RRoD but thats after i had my xbox for over a year and a half. i say for $350 just get the xbox pro 60gb. the 20gb is 300 bucks so for 50 more bucks you get the 40 gb extra. right now i have about 1 gb left on my hard drive and i have the 20gb (and i don't download any demos). and if you're THAT scared about the RRoD, get a warranty.. you'll just trade in the console and keep your harddrive.

30% fail rate isnt over hyped. the was a reason microsoft has spent millions to fix. and with the newer consoles the fail rate has come down. so ethier the elite or pro would be my choice.

 

i have the elite and havent had a problem as of yet

[CDBS14]

maybe i get elite, thanks. because it is either a shitty laptop or a 360

[Pathogen-]

girls will dig you more if you have a laptop. not much more, but hey...the line "So...play alot of xbox?" just doesn't seem like it'll work

[willywonka159]

You have a PS3 already, do you really need an XBOX? I'd go with the Notebook, but just save a little more to get one that's really nice.

it was over hyped because they made it seem like EVERY SINGLE CONSOLE in the world was dying at that moment, when it wasn't true. there was just a shit load of unfortunate people at once. all the people complained when you could simply get a warranty and switch for a new console.

I have both.. I'd choose a 360 over a "SHITTY" laptop (like he said).

 

And I'd choose the Pro over the Elite simply for the fact that I don't see MYSELF using 120 gb of DLC, arcade, and game save data. and being that the pro's are more recent, i think they're less likely to fail

[Chili327]

Look at all the fanboys in the xbox section. lol

Get the new Pro 60gig.. unless you REALLY like the black case, go Elite 120gig

YES, So he can experience games the way they we're meant to be played.. the first week.

Is that YOUR line...?

"So.. use a lap top much.?"

[CDBS14]

the thing is used to be a pc gamer back in the day, i wanted to get a good pc to run battlefield 2142 and some of the newer games that are coming out, the thing is the only laptops capable of running that are alienware and those things are expensive as hell.

[Chili327]

Yea dont buy a cheap laptop for gaming.

when i meant cheap laptop i meant like a bad gaming pc, lol, should have been more specific, i might go for the laptop, my dad is gonna give me some money anyways, if not i get a 360, thing is my cousin is coming back from vacation and he has a 360.

The other part about the RROD that people forget to mention is OVERHEATING. Don't cram the fucker in a tight space and you should be good.

 

For the record ps3 users that do the same dumb shit are having failures also. IMO, it is alot less because the average ps3 user is older and knows better than shoving it into a drawer full of laundry.

 

 

Also, if you aren't spending around 1000 for a laptop, then you aren't getting much.

i know that, my ps3 is on the open and getting some air.

[..NUBBYSHEEP..]

i have all three. ;D I'd say go with 360.over all its a lot better.

[-Rooster-]

I have all 3 as well and I agree 360 is a better gaming machine...however PS3 makes socom... But 360 is a real gaming machine....no worries at all. Also going from ps3 to 360...you will be stunned at the capabilities it allowes you to do.... Me on the other hand went from 360 to ps3 and couldnt live chat while playing games and listen to music and text friends while I played...it was bad.

[CDBS14]

made up my ind, im getting a laptop, probably 1200 dollar laptop, i got 740 bucks, and my mom said she will buy me the laptop if i do well in school(which i will), my cousin is almost back from vacation and he is always sleeping over my place so i might be able to play some forza with you guys.

[willywonka159]

Told You.

[Pathogen-]

good choice. now you can be mobile while watching redtube or youporn

[DK_MaluNYMets]

I had two regular xbox 360 well the premium and both of them had the red light on me. Then I bought the Elite and for a year ive had ZERO problems and its SILENT!

[Chili327]

Yea the Elite is the shit.!!

I would imagine the new PRO is the same. (just not black & is 60GB instead of 120GB)
