Console Opinions...

I haven't played my xbox 360 for at least a week, so today i turned it on and got the RROD. I'm on my first release with this 360. I know most of you will say read reviews on the internet, of which I was just browsing some sites. I still need everyones opinion, please. What would be the best deal, money aside. The new xbox 360 premium or the 360 elite. Which has the least amount of problems so far, that you know of. I'm ready to spend some money on a new console.

You have a 3 year warranty, so send it off to get a new one

The RROD is 3 years yes. No reason not to send this one in to get it replaced, you can always sell it off later if you want to buy something new (if your replacement doesn't have HDMI).

Re: Console Opinions...

Money is not the problem. I understand what you are saying but I'm going out tonight with my wife to buy a new one. So which one, premium or elite should i buy.

Also, I can't even get into my dead 360 to recover my saves. Dang.

Re: Console Opinions...

If you need the extra hard drive space and HDMI cable, go with the elite. Otherwise, I think the new HDMI 360 Pro's are the same machine. I have the HDMI Pro and so far so good. Except for the lound disk drive but I think that is an issue with all 360's.

Snap the hard drive on the new one.

I got the Arcade 360...has HDMI and is the same as the premium except for the stuff in the box (no HD, no games, no headset)...I just put my old HD on the new 360 and it's worked great (and I've tested it with Mass Effect...i've played for hours straight and no issues).

Obviously if you're buying new you'd want a premium, but if you're just replacing the 360 itself I'd go Arcade.
