hello,im thinking about getting a xbox 360 for my birthday,my birthday is in 2 weeks,and i was wondering i heard that 1 of every 3 xbox 360s fail and u have to return them,is this true? but yea i basically really want to get a xbox 360 and play halo 3 and gears of war and stuff like that. cause i like shooter games
i have a 360 never had any problems but there are lots of 360s that have problems just make shure you get a warrenty lol btw gears and halo 3 are awesome games
Get a 360 elite, then you're guaranteed not to get any failures. But yeah, some do tend to get the red lights but it's still a good system nonetheless. And, you don't have to get a ps3 to play gta 4,lol.
I know someone who returned an elite. A friend of mine, actually. It stopped reading the discs. Never got three red lights, but every disc came up unreadable. I love mine though. I'm on #3 already.
I've got an elite and haven't had any problems. The only problem was when I moved the console, it scrached all the disc, but that happens with them all and it's my fault
Just get one. Theres always a chance something will go wrong. Just like a new car. You take chances on anything you purchase.
I don't see what the problem is with the red lights. They have a free fix of it so meh. Yeah the elites are awesome, a bit pricey but don't they look and feel cool? Totally go for 360. As well as gears of war and Halo 3 there is Bioshock... Bioshock = <3 ... but it sicks ass because it's one player... But look THREE game reasons to get a 360! Now the weights are overbalanced! =O
Just get a warrenty, and make sure you buy one of the new releases (not even talking 'bout Elite). But the older versions had a problem with the CD-Reading, or well, my grandfather (yes, he's weird) had a problem with it.
