That is a pretty good deal. You save upwards to 40 bucks with the package.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I said this when the 360 came out, and I'll say it again, they should have waited and spent the extra time making sure that the console was ready to go out the door before releasing it. Instead we got a system that had a 16% launch failure rate, noisy as hell fans, crappy cooling system, and who knows what other corners they cut just to get it out the door... and they didn't even have all that great of games for launch that you couldn't just get on the PC or original X-box. Where as Sony & Nintendo might have taken longer, but their systems are much better designed.

The PS3 is not better designed at all. My PS3 experienced the red light of doom in the second week of owning it. The PS3 is bigger then the original xbox for gods sake. Luckily, i didn't have to go through much hassle in returing it and getting my cash back as i didn't want another PS3 as their is no exclusive games worth getting in the near future. let's not forget that the PS3 has the worst batch of launch-titles ever seen for any console launch.

I've had my 360 since launch and i've yet to have any over-heating problems and the fan isn't that loud unless your television is on mute. I'm a little dismayed by the recent rumours about a better, sleeker, 360. Although, it isn't enough to piss me off as the main reason for owning a console is the videogames and so far i've gotten plenty of fun outta of the 360; more then any other console this year.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I'm the same. Bioshock and Mass Effect look 100x better then H3 and are my most anticipated games of 07 along with GTAIV.

I don't know why you would contemplate buying a PS3 as neither Bioshock or Mass Effect will ever see the light of day on the PS3. They're 360 exclusive.

How ya doing, buddy?

Skills, you fail to mention that their are also a shitload of people who still have launch 360's that still work like a charm, myself included and i think Plarom and Russ fall into the same boat.

i think it balances it out quite evenly. Consoles break, it is a fact of life; but you shouldn't let it deter you from getting one. My Wii broke down on me within my second week of owning it , but that is life and their is a reason a thing like warrantys exist.

Most amazing jew boots

I really want to buy a Xbox 360 but I don't see a reason to buy the "old" one if there's the elite out there with 1080p support and all that. Can anyone shed some light on this situation?

Thanks a lot.

It is a simple thing called demand parred on top of the fact that microsoft didn't ship out many elites in the first place. Most stores only got 1 or 2 elite SKUs as well as the pre-ordered ones.

I was speaking idiomatically.
