So im thinking of getting an xbox 360 but i heard it can scratch the game disks and also has the ring of death. So is it worth getting it? or will it break down like lots of 360's have.

My 360 has never broken down on me, and its almost been 2 years.

But if you feel insecure then wait for the 65nm chip to be placed in 360s by the end of the year.

Otherwise I would seriously recommend you buying one, especially with the huge list of great games this year and early next next year.

YES god i hate these threads, the reason the red light happens is due to overheating, so if u take care of ur 360 it wont break down, and it rarley ever scratches

the only time your 360 will scratch the games is if you MOVE THE 360 WHILE PLAYING A GAME.Ill say it again WHILE PLAYINGA GAME from one position to another other wise the 360 will not scratch the games enjoy your new system

The discs only get scratched if you move the 360 when its on. (because its spinning) And if you keep it upright, and dont have it on for a day then you'll be fine.

If it was a major problem the system would not be in stores. Is it a problem?.. Yes but not as major as some make it seem.

dude. if you take care fo your 360 you will most likely not have a problem.  i've had mine since launch and have not had a problem.    plus the line up of games for it is amazing and only getting better
