sooo last one got deleted....and i still have more questions...

most likely going to get a 360 by this wednesday....so should i get an elite or premium? what would i do with the 120gig space? which one has less problems?

BUT i still might consider gettting a ps3...so if you have any more convincing arguments...please post

If your going to get a 360, im guessing you wanna play online? If your not planning on playing online go a PS3, but if you are definitely get a 360, btw as for Elite vs Premium, not much point in getting an Elite really. 120 GB HDD isn't necessary at all...

I think the biggest thing about the Elite is the HDMI port, correct? I have a premium with an HDTV and it looks fine and I've never even got close to using up my 20 gigs, so I don't know why you would need 120 gigs.

I'm gonna say go with Premium unless you really feel the need to have your 360 hooked up to your HDTV by HDMI cables instead of component.

the only real reason i want to get an elite is because i heard that there are less problems wit it....but from what i heard...is that if you keep your 360 horizontal and you keep it in a well ventilated area...it should be fine....am i correct? =S

Well, there probably were less problems with the Elite when it first came out, but now I think they've patched up the problems with the Premium as well, so you should be OK.

Well I personally love it, one of the best games i've played. If you've been following the series it shouldn't disappoint.

Yeah, but I bought mine like 2 months after launch on New Year's 2006. It had the red rings right out of the box, but I was able to turn it on if I messed with it enough (turning it on and off). There were times where I wouldn't get the rings for weeks, and then other times where I would just have to give up on trying to get it to work and try later.

After about a year and a half (like March '07 I think), I sent it in, and got sent a brand new 360 back in a week. I haven't had any problems with this one and it's been like a year and four months since Microsoft sent me it.

I really wouldn't worry too much since you're buying a 360 now. It's way different now compared to when it launched.
