after all the hype i.e the elite doesnt get the red ring, the elite is more silent, the elite has more space on the hdd etc. it finally dies on me. i have had it for exactly one year now.
and today just as i turned it on, baaaaaaaam. red ring of death. from the 1st month i got it, i could tell there was no big difference betqeen the elite and arcade except for the space on the HDD. it still made lots of noise etc.
the only reason i got the elite was coz of no red ring. but now that it is dead, all i can do is laugh at myself for how stupid i was for buying something just coz microsoft said it was the be all and end all of xbox consoles.
but i was only sad for 1 minute. why? coz i have a ps3. though i dont have many games on it, i have something that doesnt have red rings, and though it cost me more, i am satisfied with it from day 1. and i have also had it for exactly one year now. during that time, it has never frozen,never made noise like an 18 wheeler, never crashed etc.
when i send in my elite to microsoft, and i get it back, am giving it away. it has done more harm than good. even my cat is afraid of it. the noise it makes is unbearable and scary.
to those that have elite 360 consoles, have you ever got the red ring?

If you're willing to spend the time to gripe on this forum, then why weren't you willing to do 5 minutes of research before buying an elite? It's not difficult to figure out that the only difference between an elite and a standard model is the finish and the hdd size. Send me an email, I'll buy your elite for $50
