whatever Xbox you get, id personally get a brand spanking new one (no second hand) and purchse the 3 year warranty that comes with it in the box.
Id also get the Elite simply because "why not?" the newer model will more than likely be better and have less problems. Matts had the white 60GB one since 2007 and it only suffered its first problem at the beginning of the year. No ring of death but the games kept freezing. However microsoft themselves were brilliant and promplty sorted it out and sent a new HDD and its had no problems since (touch wood!). I think the Fable game killed it TBH. Oh, and online play is a million times better than the PS3. Maria |

my son has the black 360 (didnt know if was any better than the white) but it had 3 red lights on it. It was out of warranty but contacted microsoft, they sent us a packing label and contact number for ups. they came and collected from the house, emailed from germany to say it had arrived and got it back yesterday (1 week later) all working with a new motherboard. Great service.

I've got the Elite. Simply because when I went to get one that's all they had.
I think they ironed out some of the problems they had with the earlier ones with the Elite. I'd buy new. You never know what's happened to them if you buy second hand. |

IMO, it ultimately comes down to time; is your time constantly deleting/redownloading things because you're low on disk space and waiting for games to load worth £40? If you only play games a couple of hours a week, probably not. If you play it a couple of hours a night, definately. |

i had ring of death about 2 years ago, rang microsoft, they collected it, repaired it and returned it in around 4 weeks completely free of charge, no messing around looking for receipts etc... was quite impressed.
You can download movies, game demos (lots of them) and other content onto your xbox - I've got 20gb and it's seems adequete for what I do. Currently got about 8 game demos and loads of game save data and it's still got about 3gb left... ![]()

Well I went and got it today. Decided to get a new one as they only offered a £10 saving if I got a second hand one
![]() Ended up getting the 60gb version with the entertainment pack (includes extra controller, burnout paradice, trivial pursuit and connect 4) Gears of War 2, GTA4, Fable 2 and Oblivion game of the year edition and the 2 year suport/warenty thingy. I managed to get £40 of discounts as well as the £30 discount for the bundle. Worked out cheeper than if I had bought it all second hand and not hussled a discount ![]() Happy with it ![]() Oh and did I mention I finished my degree today!!! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
