i would have gotten a 360 long ago. The problems you mentioned aren't as prevalent as 2 years ago. The new chips are supposed to reduce heat. Even if it did die on you, you have the 3 year warranty and plus you have a great selection of games for it

It's always a good time to get a new console, if it's something that you think is worth the price than by all means go out and get one.

when they first came out was the time to get them, at least that's what people thought but they got screwed. But your in luck now they just started shipping out the brand new jasper chips which basically have a very very slim chance of getting the dreaded RRoD. but make sure to check the lot number before buying to make sure your getting a jasper I think its 843x.

This world will never be
What I expected
And if I don't belong
Who would have guessed it
I will not leave alone
Everything that I own
To make you feel like it's not too late
It's never too late

Even if I say
It'll be alright
Still I hear you say
You want to end your life
Now and again we try
To just stay alive
Maybe we'll turn it all around
'Cause it's not too late
It's never too late

No one will ever see
This side reflected
And if there's something wrong
Who would have guessed it
And I have left alone
Everything that I own
To make you feel like
It's not too late
It's never too late

Even if I say
It'll be alright
Still I hear you say
You want to end your life
Now and again we try
To just stay alive
Maybe we'll turn it all around
'Cause it's not too late
It's never too late

The world we knew
Won't come back
The time we've lost
Can't get back
The life we had
Won't be ours again

This world will never be
What I expected
And if I don't belong

Even if I say
It'll be alright
Still I hear you say
You want to end your life
Now and again we try
To just stay alive
Maybe we'll turn it all around
'Cause it's not too late
It's never too late
Maybe we'll turn it all around
'Cause it's not too late
It's never too late (It's never too late)
It's not too late
It's never too late

Bah, I'll buy an x360 this month, the 60GB holiday for 299$. Why? Because I'll be able to install my games for faster loading speed, because I'll be able to download demos, like the RE5 demo one day, and it's the best way to test a game before buying it (so it saves money too to... pay more?), because the new 60GB have a different chipset where the upper RAM is doubled so the under RAM is remove, letting a better air flow, reducing heat problems, because the new chip is 65nm and produce less heat, so less ROD problems, because it come with HD cables (60GB version), a 60GB HD, a headset, 2 games, etc. I mean, all that for 100$ more than the arcade... And if you buy used, you could get an old model that had problems with ROD. 

I think it's a 100$ well invested for myself, lol. Sometimes it's better to pay 100$ more 1st instead of paying 1M$ after years... (exageration here).

 

For the topic: Yes, it's time. Well, next year the price will drop again by a lot, surely 199$ for the 60GB with 2 games, and surely a new model will pop around end 2k9 max, a slim version or something, and you'll want to kill yourself. But it's ALWAYS like that with videogame consoles, lol. So I'll buy mine this month, 60GB holiday with a free game (right now I saw gears of war 2, or 2 games I didn't want, I'll wait for something better, GoW2 isn't that bad also, but I'd prefer an RPG instead).

I knew it was time wheN i could get the xbox 360 for $200 and when I looked at used games on amazon and ebay I saw a plethora of games avaliable for under $30. Thats just amazing by the time i finish all of these games the games that are coming out the I currently want to play will be cheaper as well. I will buy some games at first launch of course but this saves me lots of money. RE5, and perhaps price of persia are going to be must haves though.
