most places like circuit city, best buy, walmart and costco got a price match thing. so if it does go on sale to a lower price within like 30 or 90 days they will give you the difference you paid for the item at the time then the price of it now. so if you buy it tomorrow for 400 bucks and 5 days later microsoft lowers the price to 350. walk back in with your receipt and get that 50 bucks from them. but there is no guarentee for price drop either.
08 will be a great game. it runs at a full 60 fps, and has all the features that were on ps2 and xbox1 versions of madden 06. madden 06 and 07 on the 360 were missing lots of these features.
plus all the new animations in madden 08 will be tight. mid air collisons, gang tackling, 1 handed catches and sideline catches. its going to be a great game.
and dont waste your money on madden 06 or 07. they will make you want to go out and buy madden 08.
I think the elite is probably a lot more reliable then the premium right now. but in a matter of weeks to months they will both be made flawlessly. Microsoft gave every xbox that was sold already or yet to be sold a 3 year warrenty. So you can now expect the console to last well past the 3 year warrenty. The elite is good if you got the money. you get the extra 100 gig's, and hdmi output which is good only for 1080p resolution HDTV's. even if you dont have a 1080p tv as of now within2 years 1080p will be standard resolution for all high def tv's. so the elite is good for the future too. I have a lot of demos and arcade games and got about 5 gigs left. hopefully that is enough for both expansion packs that are going to come out for grand theft auto 4 early next year.
anyways, every day and every week you wait longer the better odds that your console doesnt have flaws. but if you buy it from bestbuy or walamrt and it messes up within return policy i think you can walk in and exchange for a new model. but after that time runs out then you have to go thru microsoft for hardware fixes. i really think they are tryin to have this stuff fixed a couple of weeks before halo 3. cus that game is going to sell lots of systems and attract new customers to MS, so they dont want to let them down. early adopters always get way less reliable products.
