I already had to send in my 360 once for repairs and had to go nearly a month without a 360 and I HATED IT! Infact I actually bought a used Core console for like $200.00 at gamestop and just put my HDD on that one until mine came back from repairs, as stupid as that may sound i just couldnt go a whole month without playing my 360. When my 360 did finally come back from the repair shop I just sold the core 360 I bought to hold me over and just took my losses. If My 360 broke on the day Halo 3 came out, I would definatly just buy a core 360 model and send mine in for repairs!!

Fortunatly I work full time and have a alright paying job where I could just afford to buy a core model and have a back up 360 incase mine broke again, I know that might sound really stupid but I adore my 360 way to much to go a month without playing it lol. And man if it broke a day before Halo 3 came out I would just buy another console that day, i would have to! Would you do the same?

Funny thing is the same people who complain about PS3's price do exactly that kind of crap and lose hundreds of dollars from it.

True but i also own a PS3 and even though Warhawk is ok im still playing Gears a few hours a day on a daily basis among a lot of demos i dl from xbox live and COD 4 beta. I know its stupid to own 2 360 consoles but on the other hand its actually kind of smart if you can afford. Just buy a core 360 model for 250 dollars incase your main one breaks, if your main one breaks just send it in for repairs, slap your HDD on your back up Core model and play it until your other one returns.

HAHA oh snap! Thats exactly what i did, I swore I would never sell my PS3 and when my 360 broke I traded in my PS3 for a core 360 model and got some games also and when mine came back i just traded the core back in, bought the PS3 back after the price drop. But I think im going to buy another core 360 for a back up because i couldnt go a month without my 360, i just couldnt do it

If you can't last a month without a 360 then you seriously need to get out more and get a life.

mine broke a few weeks ago but there is no way i would buy a new one for Halo3. Sure i would love to play Halo 3 on release day, but why the hell would i reward microsoft of shoddy craftsmanship? Plus, unlike sum people here, i have a life. I can just go chill at the beach or watnot till my X360 comes back. It should be here soon though...while their systems are broken, MS customet service is great.
