A microsoft product that SUCKS!!!!!! Sound familiar??? Look at windows and the whole microsoft mind frame (get product to market fast, fix bugs later).... My son bought a new Elite system recently and I thought okay, let's give it a try. Note: we own a Wii, PS2, and GameCube. Well, I thought that it would be good, you know the LIVE thing and HD and all. But, hey wait!!!! No wifi included???? I have to buy the xbox wifi adapter to go online?!?!?! Okay, FINE! bought one used for $50. Now we are online... But wait, can't play online with friends?!?!?!?! I need GOLD membership ?!?!?!?! Hey, Netflix instant watch??? Cool, I have a netflix membership already. But wait, I need GOLD to play the movies!?!?!?!?! IT'S FREE ON MY COMPUTER!!!! Why do I have to pay microsoft, I bought the machine!!!!!! Oh, and did I mention that it is LOUD??? The cooling fans (just how many are there anyway???) are kinda loud, but put in a game disk and watch out!!! I have to turn up the TV to hear the game properly!!!! Oh, and HD-DVD instead of Blue-Ray, GOOD call there microsoft. Wii has built in wifi, free online multiplayer gaming, and is mouse quiet. MICROSOFT SUCKS!!!!!!!!! Hey, guess what???? A microsoft product that SUCKS!!!!!! Sound familiar??? Look at windows and the whole microsoft mind frame (get product to market fast, fix bugs later)….

I recently purchased another one here in Australia and had nothing but problems too until i decide to try to hunt down the most recent machine. I'll give you all a tip.. Next time you go to purchase a xbox 360 try getting a Falcon or Jasper.. Here's a tutorial I wrote which may help all those guys out there who are still getting the RROD on the older models. How to Identify a Falcon or Jasper Xbox 360: http://www.360-hq.com/xbox-tutorials-81.html My tutorial will explain in detail how you can easily identify the two most recent Xbox 360 consoles code named "Jasper" and "Falcon". This way you can be sure you are purchasing the latest xbox 360 which will run cooler, quieter and use much less power. cheers, hobbs http://www.360-hq.com http://www.xbox-hq.com Hi man,

I am thinking about keeping it, since I need one while I have one in for repair. Pretty bad to need to own two consoles so you have a working one. The PS3 sure is nice, never had these problems with it. Once Sony get their online service up to par, MS will have a real problem. Yeah, I picked up an Arcade unit in the meantime.
