I have a launch 360. It's been good to me and hasn't had any major problems. Lately though, it has made some weird noises and sometiems the disk tray won't open. This is starting to worry me, especially when Halo 3 is in there for long periods of time.

Should I play it safe and buy an Elite or should I wait until this console goes kaput?

Also, is there an easy way to transfer saves from one harddrive to another?

I think you should wait. No reason to rush out and spend that money now when your console might be able to last until the next price drop

man there sure are alot of people considering jumping to the elite.

I am a fan of NOT rebuying something that I already own.......no matter what Apple tries to tell me.

I pulled the trigger and bought an Elite today as a matter of fact.

My HD space was used up on my launch Xbxo360. I like to download and try out demos and the the launch system just wasn't cutting it for me. I think the black console looks way better than the white one. I will save and tuck away the launch Xbox360 in my spare room and will use it as a backup system for now, since 360's are notorious for failures.

Later will use the Elite for my HDTV ( when I get one ) and will use the launch 360 with my comnputer station ( which is in the another room )

there are rumors of 360 bundles for this christmas.  i'd wait to see about those, because they don't cost any more than the system is now.

The Elite is nice but if you currently have a 360 you should hold off. I would only find it reasonable to buy it if you diddnt already have one.
