So today i was thinking about getting a 360 (even though im worried about the 3RROD) and i came across this one on play.com http://www.play.com/Games/Xbox360/4-/659411/XBox-360-Premium-Console/Product.html now im thinkin, what the hell is wrong with these for play to let them go so cheap, do you think these dont have the HDMI ports and the old chip sets which are susceptible to the 3RROD, what are everyones thoughts on this deal, do you think its worth it or should i shell out the extra £80 for a new model with the HDMI ports and the newer chipsets or should i wait even longer for the falcon???

P.S how can i be sure i get a newer model with the newer 65nm chipset or one that wont kick the bucket on me, thanks

The offer is only for the UK and delivery is free, im thinking of getting halo 3 and GOW which would bring the total to around £280 which is the R.R.P of the console:D bargain or what

The price wont be lower because they have old chipsets or anything, the new ones arent even out yet. Also its not a sort of cheap pricecut to get rid of the old ones before they get new ones in because they will soft launch them at the same price. Although I must admit im unsure as to why they have this good deal but if I was you I would go for it.

Think of it like this, you will spend years with this console so what does it matter that in the next 5 years, or 260 weeks, its in repair for 3 weeks. And thats IF it does break at all.
