School me on Xbox 360
Thinking about picking one up. Newegg has a pretty good deal on them. No shipping and you get a $50 gift card with purchase. Is there anything else I should be looking for? All I plan to do with it is play games. No movie,video or music storing.
Thanks

hope you like it not working. one of my friends has sent theirs in for repair/replace about a 10 times. but a guy at work has the top of line model (elite or something like that) it was like 5 or 600 bucks, but he hasnt had a problem with his.

The newer ones are good to go. I had a old one that broke, I sent it in once, and then it broke again. I sold it on ebay and got a brand new one a couple months ago. No problems as of yet.
Today I got COD5 World at war and it is ******* awesome. I would definitely recommend it if your into FPS.

I don't own a 360 or ps3, but I have plenty of experience with both. I'd say the 360 does have a few more issues than the ps3, but way better games. Yes sony has gt5, but the prologue sucks. you don't have halo, or forza, two very good games. and then there's cod5

I'd like some school'in on this too.
Was interested in maybe picking one up now that they're advertised base system for $199.99. With proper cabling will this show 1080i picture on my tv or is that what the Elite is all about?
Bought an Original xbox a few years ago and used it a lot, but got pissed when it died on me after not using it for two weeks.. I still have a version 1.0 PS2 thats still kicking strong... So I'm a little angry about the Xboxs dvd drive crapping out..

So basically the Elite isn't anything I need? Cool.

The Jasper has the GPU smaller while keeping both heatsinks and runs much cooler.
You can recogonize the Jasper by the 150W power supply (look at the sticker). It also has a 256MB memory card built in.
The 256MB built-in memory is so it can have NXE (the New Xbox Experience) installed without the need to buy a memory card or a hard drive (what the Xenon and Falcon need for NXE).
Here is a screenshot of the PSU you should be looking for:

FWIW, I sold my four hacked XBox1s and bought four 360s. The graphics are better but the lack of co-op games that can be played across a network make me wish I still had my XBox1s here. They just don't make games to be played outside of XBox Live and you don't want to log on to there if you have hacked your box.
