I don't know whether to get the new Xbox

[Robbie]

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

[louder]

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.

I'd like to add if you get a new one and want kinect, you might aswell wait. Well tbh you might aswell wait anyway, you spend an extra £50 and you could sell for £100. 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.

got an xbox already? no
not got an xbox? no
itll still eat your disc like no tomorrow and the rrod could still be really bad for all we know.

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.

Yes but put it in to context, alot of people will not read that warning. And what do alot of people do when their machine is slow? Hit it. It's not even the fact that it's there that bothers me much now, it's the fact ms could have easily fixed it.

[Swastika]

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.

[dbgtz]

Sorry I didn't realised thats a law? It's what people do! I do it to my pc and it doesn't destroy my disc and it stops this annoying vibrating sound it makes against my desk. I imagine vibrations from say rockband still move it enough to kill the disc.
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.

[dbgtz]

yes but people do it, never said you did, never said i did (to an xbox).
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.
