Last Christmas i had both the PS and 360. I have been playing playstation for ever and love Sony. Never got into the first xbox but i loved halo. Now that the 360 came out i thought maybe i should get intothe Microsoft scene. I mean both consoles promised great games just xbox's were sooner to come while PS was more in the future. So i was enjoying my xbox 360 but was scared the whole time of the 3 red lights, i had no warranty and didn't want that problem so i sold it and i somewhat regret it because PS lets face it is doing poorly with the lack of games while 360 is soaring in great games.

So i was wondering should i get another 360, or do i still have to worry about those dreaded 3 red lights? Does the elite fix this problem?

Wait until MS fixes the heat sink issue. If halo is still the big thing going on at that time, go for it. And no, the elite doesnt fix the problem, neither does that halo edition. Still has issues

Yeah I want to get a 360, but the reliability is crap. I'll get me a PS3 first and then get a 360 when I am positive that they have fixed the problem.

This is the same reasonthat is keeping me from buying a 360. When I buy a console it shouldn't be a game of chance. I'll wait until MS brings out the 360's with more reliable hardware.

The new 360 with built-in HDMI seem to have much better parts and far better reliability to them. I think it's much safer to get one.
