You do know you can put the updates on a CD/USB drive and update that way?

You do know you can put the updates on a CD/USB drive and update that way?
i'd get the new one.
for the same price as the elite it's a sweet deal.
you don't have to spend like £50 on an adapter.
you get a 250gb hd.
there already winners for me.
sure, there's factors like it's new, so rrod is gunna happen a lot,
and so will general faults. but they always do something like extend warranties & you end up saving money in the long run.
the other features aren't brilliant, but it is supposedly quieter, it's smaller etc.
and, hopefully they'll last longer than the premium or elite.
Well if you spent another £50 for a ps3 you'd save even more money in the long run.Quote:

Plus the games could raise that a little. Only problem is it might be the 4gb 360 in that deal. But you could probs spend the money from kinect to get a new harddrive and still make a profit so in the end you only win.
Don't be stupid, the only reason it ate the disc in that video is because the guy shook the xbox around, while the disc was running. If you do that then you deserve to have your disc chewed up.Quote:

If you've already got an xbox then what's the point?
250GB big wow, i've got a 120GB and i've got like 90GB left, your never going to use up 250GB, plus you can buy the clip on hard drives that are 250GB anyway.
Built in wi-fi doesn't effect me because i use ethernet cables, only good thing i can see is it's supposed to be quieter.
I'm just going to buy kinect when it come's out instead, and lol at MS's 4GB xbox.
I'd rather have my older elite so i can carry on modding etc.
If you do that to any machine that reads disc the outcome will be similar. You shouldn't be owning something like that if that's how you're going to treat it.Quote:

I can ******* whack my ps2 and it still wont scratch my disc. If the ps2 can protect against it then surely ms could with the 360. They're either lazy or ******ed.
What the **** I never hit my xbox. If your xbox is running slow, perhaps you need to get it fixed instead of resorting to bashing it about. Yeah, perhaps it could be easily fixed, but in all honesty, what idiot (bar the guy in the video) lifts up the xbox when a disc is running? Hell I get paranoid if I move it when the xbox is switched off.Quote:

but as proved by bbc watchdog it can happen during rockband/guitar hero or the drop of a large book (say the yellow pages) which means it probably still will.
