Hey guys, I currently have a PS3 and I was wondering if it would be a good idea to get a 360. I mean, there are some pretty great games that I'm excited for on the 360 such as Gears 2, Fable II, Star Ocean IV, and a few others. With the price drop and everthing I was thinking about getting a Pro ($299) model. I will basically be using the 360 for games as that and probably wouldn't pay for Live yet since I could play online on my PS3 for free. And I was also wondering how bad are the failure rates of the 360 now. My cabinet is pretty limited and I don't really quite have the room to have enough ventilation for the 360 so I'm afraid it will overheat. Any suggestions on which model of the 360 I should get, to games, and advise on keeping the 360 cool would be great. :)

As a person whos got both I say go for it. It was a great deal even now with the price drop and plus you can get used games cheap because it's library is so massive. And to keep it cool keep off carpet open aired and dont let it collect dust and you should be fine oh also don't keep it on for over 7 hours without a break and uplug the power cord when you turn it off because that will stop all electrical flow and let it cooldown even better.

Now is the PERFECT time to pick up a 360 since some of the sickest games are coming out soon and you can pick up other games on the cheap! Plus you can get the 360 at a good price and the failure rate is VERY low now with the new hardware.

Yes get a 360 now, check manufacture date to insure you get the lastest cooler running processor, and make sure you register your unit to get the one year warranty.
