Hey guys i'm pretty new to Xbox, i never owned one. I'm pretty interested in the Xbox 360 and i'm thinking of getting it for my birthday soon. So i have a few questions, Is it wise to buy a used Xbox 360, because of it getting a higher chance of the *ring of death*.? Is the internet free on it, if not do you have to pay every month for it? Whats the difference between the Xbox Live Gold and Xbox Live Silver? Is playing online free? I just want to be sure about everything, sorry if it sounds like dumb questions, i'm totally clueless...
Welcome, first let me start by saying that you're better getting a new one even if it is the 360 arcade that doesn't come with hdd, also there's the warranty thing, if you get the rrod and call microsoft sometimes they don't give you the warranty because you're not the original owner
xbox live is free (xbox live silver) you can download demos view videos or update, but can't play online
xbox live gold is $50 a year , you can do the same as silver but you can play online and download demos a week or two first
im sure the 60gig xbox will help lower the chances of red rings with the smaller chips. xbox live silver(free, but u get 1 month free trial) is basically just a gamercard, friends, chat and u can access the marketplace(including downloading). xbox live gold u can actually play online along with everything in silver. at stores Gold is 50 dollars for 13 months but amazon has em for like 45 or u can get 3 months or 1 month subscriptions.

What do you mean by *you're better getting a new one even if it is the 360 arcade that doesn't come with hdd*?
the reason I said that was because the arcade is cheaper and without a hard drive and still is better than a used or refurbished console
hrah
Ooh okay i see what you mean though i didnt know there was 3 versions lol, and thank you so much. Ooh and one more thing do you recommend the Xbox pro because it has HDD, or do you reccomend the Arcade version? Oh and with Xbox live Silver can you use the internet browser??
yes, I personally recommend the pro 60 gb $350 because it's the most complete system and not as expensive as the elite, the arcade lacks the hdd so you will endup going crazy using live with it, because you will be limited in what you can download with the small memory card that comes with the arcade
and sorry but the x360 doesn't have an internet browser

I would definatly get a new one, if the funds permit, that was you should have no problem with the Rings of Death, granted if you keep the thing well ventilated it shouldn't be a problem anyway.
And i'd also recommend one with a HDD, the Premium or the Elite, if you are going Live with it, that way space won't be too much of an issue, Also the HDD to buy on there own are silly money, so that kinda throws the Arcade version out of the window.
