No COD4/MASS ERECT for me.

[Himu]

fuck it.    just came home w/ a new unit.  see you on live, bitches.

gonna sell my repaired premium unit once i get it back.  no way in hell i'm gonna sit through the rest of the year without a 360. 

HDMI is pretty fucking nice too.

xbl arcade unit + 120 gig hd?

why the fuck would he buy that?

It has hdmi, the new insides you were talking about earlier in the thread, and buying an arcade pack + 120 gig hd would be cheaper than getting an premium + hd

[CajoleJuice]

I didn't know the arcade had HDMI. 

But who needs the 120 GB HD?

[bork]

I didn't know the arcade had HDMI. 

But who needs the 120 GB HD?

I'd like the 120gb HD; my 20gb is finally beginning to get filled up.  But M$'s price for it is fucking ridiculous.

[CajoleJuice]

What is it getting filled up with?

[Himu]

I didn't know the arcade had HDMI. 

But who needs the 120 GB HD?

I just think that like, if it's just 70 ro so bucks more than the premium, and you get 100 extra gigs for that money, it's totally worth it.

[bork]

What is it getting filled up with?

Downloadable content and XBLA games, I suppose.  I have a few demos that will get back to around 6-7 gigs of free space if I delete them, though.

But why? What the hell are you gonna put on that extra 100 GB? Demos you'll never play again?

[demi]

Yeah I never saw the appeal, videos you buy on Marketplace expire anyway

You just got your 360 recently, right?  After two years, 20gb is already pushing it a bit.  120gb is enough to last the 360's lifespan.

[CajoleJuice]

You just said if you delete the demos, that frees up 6-7 GB.

[Synbios459]

Depends what you buy.

[bork]

You just said if you delete the demos, that frees up 6-7 GB.

No, it leaves me with 6-7gb.  I have about 3gb available now.

[CajoleJuice]

oh

[demi]

Woahhhh 3GB,  be careful, you might fill it up with demos of Perfect Dark Zero!

[Synbios459]

The thing about the 360 though, is that it's been touted as being the all-encompassing game system and goes on about how you can download HD movies and stuff, so why not give us a big enough HD to do all that?

[bork]

Woahhhh 3GB,  be careful, you might fill it up with demos of Perfect Dark Zero!

Hey, some of that DLC can take up more than you think.  I have one game with over a GIG of DLC shit.

oh hype, you're the type of person that tells microsoft they need not fix their shit.

dude, it was a 11/06 unit... fuck all that noise.  the one i got today is a 10/07 unit.   so i'm assuming it's one of the updated versions.  if it breaks again, i'm going to the ward.

If you paid for it, it's yours forever

I deleted Shivering Isles from my box once I pitched Oblivion, if I ever need Shivering Isles, it's right there

[hyp]

xbl arcade unit + 120 gig hd?

nope.  i got an elite manufactured in 10/07 w/ forza 2 & marvel included.  wanted a 120gb with the optical audio adapter.  part of the draw was that since i don't subscribe to cable, i'm gonna need a bigger hdd when iptv comes out.  so the elite seemed like the best option for my setup. the other option was an arcade using my old hdd, but since i'm gonna sell my premium i wanted to make sure it had all the parts for it. 

[Mondain]

lyte, Microsoft includes some useless promotional HD trailers and whatnot on every 360 HDD, you can delete them and save lots of space this way

unless you're sure that you'll want to admire J. Allard shilling for the 360 in HD over and over again

[drohne]

i kind of want an hdmi 360. my 360 been dying a protracted death for weeks now, with these occasional staticy video glitches. i might do the same thing you did when it goes.

although both of my 360s are in perfect working condition I thought the same, but with some new calibration settings on my Bravia it seems like I'm satisfied enough of a 360 + Monster VGA cables combination in 1080p for now

some games look too washed out in certain portions like DW Gundam and Oblivion, but overall they're very rare

[Madrun Badrun]

Shane said to expect a delay of gta4 on the last 1up yours.

Arcade system would be the cheapest route, unless of course you want the Elite for 120 gigs.

Yes, I know...I deleted that crap ages ago.

Umm we knew about the delay for months. It was supposed to come out October 16

[Bloodwake]

My 360's fucked up twice.

If it fucks up a third time, Microsoft has lost my software money.

[bork]

They'll fix it for free, what's the problem?

I mean, the systems shouldn't be breaking down in the first place, but at least they have pretty much everyone covered now.

[trh]

My Xbox disc drive stopped working back in may, so I sent it in. Got it back NINE weeks later, and the disc drive scratched my friend's Bioshock disc. Got it back three weeks ago, and just now I bought Halo and guess what? ~Five hours of playing and my Halo 3 disc is now scratched and unplayable. :'( I've barely been able to play the 360 without it breaking down. At least this way I've never had to pay for Live, gotten three total months of free live and I've only been able to use one so far, and I should be getting another month now.

Get an Arcade. Better disc drive, extra heatsink, hdmi. If you have your hdd it'll be fine.

Yeah I suppose that would work. Such a bummer I have to pay for another console when the first one should work though. I guess that this way I could always switch between the two when one breaks down...
