    I might just do that to get another WMC extender. Tough call between new with $100 gift card and used with higher RRoD possibilities. #xbox360

    @Xeno: So....last weekend I went to get my first 360, and being cheap, I went and got a used unit from Gamestop. First unit froze every couple of minutes and wouldn't read my Forza 3 discs (the whole reason I got a 360), and the second one didn't have HDMI. So after returning 2, I just got a full refund.

    My lesson here, don't buy used. I'm either doing this or getting one of the Elite units. I have a 20GB HD, but boy would a 120GB be nice. #xbox360

    @szrimaging:

    seriously. i made the mistake of buying a refurbished 360 elite. turns out it wasn't refurbished by MS, and the warranty seal was broken, so when it E74'd on me i was shit out of luck. #xbox360

    I can buy a 4gb usb drive for $5.


    Why do they insist on using such tiny storage?

    @Wrathernaut: Because $5 x 1 million = $5 million in savings. ANd they still charge you the $5 more...

    So, what you're saying is the 256 meg chips have been discontinued and they can now get the 512 meg chips for either the same price as the 256 meg chips, or perhaps a little cheaper now that the contracted price has run out.

    That bundle sounds like a good deal. I don't know about that particular tennis game, but it and the other games included with the Xbox 360 Arcade set are certainly more appealing to me than that Lego and Kung Fu Panda kid stuff that is being shoveled in with the so-called "pro" system. Why Microsoft included two games that make their main set unappealing to gamers over about ten seems very odd to me. It would have made sense in the context of multiple bundles offered for different demographics, but kiddie games for everyone? Blah.

    @Brian Sexton: They are appealing to prospective customers who would be buying the 360 for their herd of water-headed chit'lins. I.e. when MS panders to PARENTS wallets we see bundles with kids games attached.


    I would prefer that they bundle sports games in these instances, but it is hard to argue with names like Disney and LEGO when it comes to kid appeal.

    I thought arcade had a wired controller while the Pro has wireless? I've been spoiled w/ the wireless controllers now.

    @WaffleTeamStrike:


    Same here i got a ps3 instead, its far better for me. Mostly i watch movies, so think of it as a movie player that also plays games. Plus i can stream videos (avi movies) from my computer through the ps3.


    The biggest reason i switched was the ps3 has FREE online game play, since i am busy and can't always play online free is nice! , the xbox you always have to pay to play

    @Digitallysick: "Plus i can stream videos (avi movies) from my computer through the ps3."


    FYI, you can do this on a 360. May take a little extra SW for extended codec compatibility but still not hard.


    Can't argue with the PS3 as a blu-ray player though, that's probably the only reason I'll even get one (PS3 exclusive games don't "tickle my fancy" so will only be a marginal benefit to me).

    wouldn't the best Xbox 360 deal, entail Bill Gates giving you a free console and then having the Wii Girl come over to set it up?
