Well, Im looking to buy an xbox 360 (already have a wii and a ps3), but there are a few things holding me from doing it, so I hope you can help me out.

1) Im moving (temporarly) to england, If I buy my 360 here in the USA will my warranty work on england? (just in case it RROD´s)

2)Will the 360 see a price cut/new SKU soon? (im thinking on getting either the elite or the halo 3 one).

3)How many years does the 360 has left?

4)Any game recommendations?(already bought gears and halo 3).

If your going to move to England, don't buy one here, because I think England is PAL and the US is NTSC. There are some rumours about a new 360 SKU, but don't go on rumours, and for the years the 360 has left, its probably around 'til 2011. For game recomendations would be Call of Duty 4 because I'm assuming you like shooters(from the purchases of Gears, and Halo 3) and Army of Two. Hope this is helpful!

According to a rumor article I just saw on gamespot today, the Pro will be getting an upgrade to a 60GB hard drive over the summer.. but it's just a rumor, so who knows when it will be.

But if you're going for an elite, I'd just get one now, since nothing will most likely change for them.

I don't think the warrenty will wrok in England.

I don't think there will be another big price drop anytime soon.

Great Games:

Dead Rising

Marvel Ultimate Alliance (if your a Marvel fan)

Mass Effect

Oblivion

Bioshock

Assassin's Creed (if you don't have it)

1.) Warranty won't cover your US 360 in Europe, but there have been dramatically fewer RROD's on the newer revisions of hardware- espcially the Elites. You'll have a few other little annoyances on account of being abroad, but if it's just a temporary gig you'll just have to grin and bear it.

2.) There's been some pretty strong rumours about price cuts and bigger hard drives, but not on the Elite version or the Halo version so just go for it.

3.) If you're worried about the 360 getting replaced as fast as the original Xbox, don't be. The 360 will be around for a while yet.

4.) Call of Duty 4, Rainbow Six Vegas, Mass Effect, Assassin's Creed, Bioshock... and the list goes on and on and on... ;)

You bought games before you bought the system...?
