Thinking of getting an Xbox 360. Now which one?

Ditto on the extended warranty. Get it at Best Buy - their's is awesome.

I got the 3 rings of death, brought my 360 in and got a new one with HDMI (mine didn't have it). I then got a $50 credit because the price of the 360 had dropped since I bought it. I put that credit towards another 2 year warranty.

Definetely worth it in my opinion.

Have you checked out Xbox.com? You could probably get alot of your questions answered there.

I read an article where it states that they are having a 10% failure rate on the new ones. I will look for the article and post it.

I say get a 360 because you can get that undertow game for free.

Could a lot of this failure have to do with stores that are still selling off their glut of older X360's that were left over? The red ring issue was supposed to have been addressed after a certain point.
