Buying a 360. Questions.

Hey everyone I'm thinking about buying a Xbox 360 Elite within the next two weeks, I just like to know does the Elite model have built-in wireless connectivity like the Ps3? What are the chances of the Elite model getting the RROD? I heard the newer 360's come with this "falcon chip" which is suppose to reduce the chance of this, how do I know if I'm buying a 360 model with this chip? Also what are the accessories that I need for the Elite model? Thanks!

no built in wireless,red ring is rare in new systems,but can still happen.simple way to keep away from rrod,have it in an open area,stuff 3-6 inches away from it.should be good.lay it down.im not sure by the model of falcon chip but i think the elite started with it,you should be good.no accessories needed.buy a years live 50$,very worth it.hope to see you on live!oh almost forgot,wait a bit,20gb is gettin a price cut rumor,maybe the elite will also.

Sadly, there is no built in Wireless, you have to buy an adapter for about 99 dollars. I don't know the specifics, but I hear the Elite is supposed lowered RRoD chances. Falcon Chips use less power which help prevent RRoD and they are found in any console made after August 07, so check the manufacturing date on the back of your 360. A way to find out before purchase is by seeing 150W on the box so that makes it likely you might get a Falcon. 150W can also be seen on your powerblock. Accessories you need may be the Wireless Adapter since you might want wireless, Xbox LIVE definitely for multiplayer gaming, extra controllers are completely optional. Oh and Microsoft Points if you want DLC and Themes and Gamerpics.

Don't buy an intercooler however. Most feed off of the Xbox itself making it use more power and actually raise the chance of the RRoD.

Elite is the best model to get anyway........as for RROD it happened to me with my original premium but Elite is still running strong. Accesories get Wi fi adapter
