whats up 360 owners? .. ok this is my first time ever posting on the 360 fourms and the reason im posting on here is cuz i'v got a question .. my question is ..do you guys think its worth it to get a 360 now ? or should i wait till a new xbox gets released or soemthing? ( and please dont say ya your on 360 so everyone will say yes) ... i just want to know like cuz i have never had an xbox before .. i only got the sony's consoles and since all my friends have xbox's too im starting to think about getting one myself but is this a good time to buy one? which xbox model should i get? i want something good so i wont be haveing that ROD thingy .... the only game im intersted in the tales game (im an RPG fan) .. are there any good models because i heard that xbox got so many diffrent models and stuf.

thanks for all the help in advance and maybe will join the 360 club soon lol

IMO the Xbox 360 is the best console on the market. New versions don't get the RROD that often, the problems with the console are mainly in the earlier versions. If you buy one today, you should be fine.

Also, it will be several years before we see the next generation of consoles.

 Well, lets put it this way... The console was released in November 2005, I bought mine in June 2006 and I haven't had ANY problems what-so-ever. Newer versions have had several system/technical updates since my version was made. So yes, I'd say the ones on the market now are definitely stable.

ok thanks again for the reply , and ya i hope the new ones wont have any problems .. might be thinknign about it more .. and by the way .. i know this might sound strange but .. is it true that u need to pay for online?? just makeing sure .. and do you like pay each month or something?

The newer models don't have a lot of problems with the RRoD now and MS does have a 3 year warranty against it. So if you do get it you just send it in and you have a fixed 360 coming back to you.

Also with Xbox Live you do have to pay, you can get 3 or 12 months cards. Some of the 12 month cards you get an extra free month with it. They usually cost around 40 dollars some places so that's about 3 dollars PER MONTH, that really isn't that much for how much you'll have.

They all come with a free month of Xbox Live ( I do think the arcade does, someone correct me if I'm wrong) 

Also on what console to get they have an arcade version which comes with no hard drive ( you will need one if your gonna go online). Price is $199

The 60GB pro model which comes with 2 free games right now (kung fu panda and indiana jones), a headset also. Price is $299

Or the elite that comes with a 120 hard drive and an HDMI cable. Price $399

I believe that you should get the xbox 360 elite. I only had a RROD once and it was from a launch which was 2005 and it did not happen till late 2007. And when you always read the .vs. forums there is always people talking about it like it happens all of the time. Which is untrue. Out of all of my friends who got a 360, im the only one who had it. Plus i own all of the systems but im always on the 360 more then any other because all of my friends own them and not the other systems because they say its just a waste of money. Which im thinking they were right about its a waste of money. Which has a giant libary of really awesome games like Left 4 dead and GOW2.MasterCS

thanks for the reply and i live in canada too . well i thouht all consoles were free (online i mean) lol the reason why i have no info about this is cuz i never thought about buying an xbox ..but now im pretty sure i want one ..lol i wasnt sure if i should buy it since almost all my friends got the PROD . yep all of them and each one of them had to buy it again .. but now since almost everyone r saying the new version are much better . i think i will get it .. but just to make sure again (sorry for asking too much) so 360 will be haveing a HDD inside of it .like you dont have to buy one for it right? i mean like the ps3? and is it gona have the WIFI in it .. or do you have to buy it also?

thanks

The HDD is not inside the console but on top, it's just like a huge memory card you just clip it on top. They also have a 120 HDD you can buy if you need bigger space. It doesn't have WIFI, you can get a  Wireless Network Adapter but that is only to get on Xbox Live without hooking up the ethernet cord from your computer.

o man .. this sucks .. i always use a wireless internet .. thats why i asked...i guess im gona have to pay even more than i thought ....guess i need to think about ti again ..and thanks for the reply.

I know that the hdd can come out but i think its kinda of a waste because it costs $200 which is half of the cost for a premuim 360. Thats how I look at it.MasterCS

The new 60gb HDD bundle (has a 3 month Live subscription and a brand new headset) is only $99.99, so you could get an Arcade system for $199.99 and get the HDD later if you wanted, or just get the Pro bundle, which comes with a 60gb HDD for $299.99 maybe even less somewhere online, now is probably the best time to get a 360, especially if you're into RPG's, you could go out and get Lost Odyssey, Mass Effect, Eternal Sonata and Blue Dragon for cheap, and once you're through all of those The Last Remnant and Infinite Undiscovery will be cheap, AND FFXIII will be coming out, God it would rock to be you.

I am on my 4th xbox 360 system. Yes. FOURTH.

1st: RRoD

2nd: RRoD

3rd: Some crap with the graphics engine/whatever completely busted the system.

 I got fed up with everything and dropped the money for an Elite system. I have heard that elites do not have the same issues, and so far so good. 

If anything, my posted expirience should tell you that I am either 1. a complete tool to M$ or 2. enjoy the 360 so much that I am actually putting up with this utter bull$. 

And I DO also own a PS3 and Wii. I just seriously love 360. 

Even if you happen to get RRoD Microsoft provides you with 3 years warranty against RRoD and 1 Year on everything else and dealing with Microsoft is a breeze. From my only RRoD experience took me a week to get my console back and it's been working fine ever since.

And if your realy scared you can get the extended warranty but i dont realy think it's necessary.

And as for the experience it self... well.... it rocks. Buy with confidence.
