Have the new modles yet to take over fully? I mean like is there a chance that I can still get an old one with most of the problems?
Also with the newer models which I think have the Falcon, are they actually better? Do they RRoD as often?

go and get the 360 youll have a 3 year warrenty when u buy it through microsoft and also i havent seen the differnce with the falcon chip but all electronics have a failure rate of some sortbrowniemixExactly...but nowadays i think the RROD is pretty much eliminated.
Yeah it's definately worth it. I have a lot of friends with the 360 but only 2 of them have had this problem and both got it shortly after it was released. Even if you do get a lemon, the warranty will cover it as long as you aren't dumb enough to open it
I wanna help this guy out so click on the link if u want http://www.ihatemisty.com?id=q5fape0p4rv2bkdus9xughtvz7hk2y
Get the Elite. Havent heard of any problems with that. Mine is great.RyanShazamNot true, the Elites have just as many problems. Get a brand new Xbox 360 60gb Pro since they are a brand new model and basically should have the falcon. The falcon chip lowers the chance of rrod by 23% from 33% to %10. They also run a lot cooler, and the new benq/liteon drives don't scratch discs randomly anymore.
The old 360 model had a 35-40% failure rate.
The new falcon model have a 10-13% failure rate.
So the chance for RR is still there, but its a drastically reduced chance of getting it. Like someone else said, there's still the 3 year warrenty that come standard with each new 360 incase your system does RR.
I'm also going to get a 360, but I'm not sure whether I should get the holiday bundle now (2 games which I could sell for a good one + €40 discount here in Belgium until the end of the year) or wait for the Jaspers?migulic
what games come with it. i know some stores will do a 60gb premium for £170 in the uk and the bundles are £180 and you can get 2 games. at the moment it is fable 2 and halo 3 i think
The Xbox 360 is a quality console to own, definately worth your investment, and while the RROD is still a possibility, you should not base your decision solely on statistics and failure rates, any piece of electrical kit, be it a console/TV/amplifier etc has a certain chance of failure, and Microsoft are being more than reasonable with their repairs.Handsome-Dead
So I would be alright with one of the holiday bundles?
