maybe you should wait for the 65 nm if you don't want it to break the second you start up bioshock lol

brawndolicious · « **Reply #3 on:** August 14, 2007, 09:55:26 AM »

we already went over quality and there's a 3 year warranty so what's the big deal?

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #4 on:** August 14, 2007, 10:42:18 AM »

its not enough! all 360s break! cant play afraid will break!

lol wtf, its a fuckin console with the warantee of a washing machine. My first X360 was a champ, I used the hell out of it. Felt bad about using the replacement plan I had on it? No, cause it had already been worth it. Cant say the same for any other console out there. QQ more kids

Robo · « **Reply #12 on:** August 14, 2007, 11:27:00 AM »

I was thinking of getting a 360 tomorrow also! We can race to see whose dies first! BIOSHOCK

I guess I would also like to know when the 65nm models will be out. If it's just a month or so, I would prefer to wait.

y2kev · « **Reply #13 on:** August 14, 2007, 11:30:52 AM »

you can prolly find a falcon now if you dig hard enough

Robo · « **Reply #14 on:** August 14, 2007, 11:34:31 AM »

How can I tell which model I'm buying?

Himu · « **Reply #15 on:** August 14, 2007, 11:36:23 AM »

They'll say it on the box

I did some research (on GAF lol) and the ZEPHYR models are the ones that can be found currently with HDMI and the dual heat sinks. Supposedly there's a QC issue with the 65nm FALCON models and when we'll actually see them is anyone's guess. They can be identified by the code name written on the multiple barcode sticker:

and the new packages will list "HDMI Port" under "Contents" on the box.

Cajole, do you have an HDTV?

...Another reason why I've been apprehensive. $:-\$

hyp · « **Reply #20 on:** August 14, 2007, 05:26:07 PM »

you could always get the VGA adapter and hook it up to your monitor since it's HD ready.

Most PCs are 16:10 though and 360 still doesn't have a 16:10 resolution. Also, most PC monitors can't scale 16:9 resolutions properly either, but there's not too much distortion when you stretch 16:9 to 16:10.

hyp · « **Reply #22 on:** August 14, 2007, 05:32:03 PM »

true, but at least it retains the aspect ratio. all it does is add black bars to the side... much better than playing it on a shit 480i tv.

No

I'm pretty much in the same boat as you. I've also wanted to build a new PC for a while. So much money. $:-\$

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #24 on:** August 14, 2007, 08:24:29 PM »

You can just use a computer LCD. It would be cheaper

CajoleJuice · « **Reply #25 on:** August 14, 2007, 08:25:53 PM »

It's definitely been a thought. It'd serve as the screen for my new desktop PC and 360.

If your in a dorm and they give you a wired connection for your laptop then you can just connect to the internet with a ethernet cable. if they use a wireless router then you need to buy a wireless adapter for the 360.

Ichirou · « **Reply #27 on:** August 14, 2007, 11:42:19 PM »

I've decided I'm going to buy a 360 as soon as I move back home. Along with an HDTV.

hyp · « **Reply #28 on:** August 15, 2007, 01:06:05 PM »

fry's has the HDMI version in:

Robo · « **Reply #29 on:** August 15, 2007, 01:09:34 PM »

That doesn't do east coasters any good, unfortunately.

I'm gonna hit up Best Buy later this week possibly and root through their stock until I find a zephyr model.

Mupepe · « **Reply #30 on:** August 15, 2007, 05:21:59 PM »

I bought from the Amazon sale. so I got my premium for 320. said I was going to pay with a check, so Im going to wait about 25 days and then I'm sending the check in. By the time everything is processed, I should have my 360 and the old premium stock should be cleared. Nice.
