I dont think its a good time, caz ppl are talking about a new one coming out?
will it cost more
 i only have analog tvs' so i dont need a hdmi port
 also are lots of bugs fixed now,
do they still occasionally break down
 how long is the warrenty
 will there be a price drop when the new xbox comes out or any price drop whenever.
have the good games on xbox stopped coming out now? or is the library still xpanding with great games

thnx heaps

ps. can you take out the harddrive and put it in a computer and save all the files you want, maybe even some game, and then put it back into your 360 and look at them?

Hard Drive - No Price Drop - No Bugs Fixed - Yes Warrenty - 1 year (can be extended) New 360 will run cooler, and have Ben-Q DVD drives which they say faster/smoother loading times and quieter.. Thats all I know of

I think it is safe to say that it will be several years for the next generation of Xbox is available. And as far as the HDD goes, just network your 360 to home network and easily stream music and videos directly from your PC. You can also extend a Windows Media Center PC to your 360.

finding a good bundle will be somewhat like a price drop imo, there are some good deals out there. i would say the reliability is improved. there are many good games, no need to worry about that.

Wait for the 360s new model or find a good bundle. I say wait for the new model, but who knows what kind of problems it might have.

Have you seen the game line up for PS3? No matter who you are, you have to admit that the line up sucks.. Most of the really good games arent supposed to arrive till either late 07 or 08.. MGS4 for ex is supposed to come out in 08. 360 already has tons of awesome games, and more really awesome ones coming out this year like Halo 3, Mass Effect, Crackdown... I 100% say 360.. but ya know, its my opinion. :)

Anyone who doesn't have a 360 yet is just missing out on Xbox Live and all the games such as Gears of War which truly define what games should be. Just get the 360 already, at least you get a 1 year warranty so why wait and miss out on these great games?

Well since about November 21st of 2005... It's been a good time to buy one. I've had mine since January 2006, not one problem. No heating problems, No disc read errors, No red circles, Nothing. Prices won't drop until sometime after Christmas 2007, because apparently 2007 will be the year for when the "Next-Gen" gaming consoles will prove themselves and the clear winner will emerge. So if Microsoft will update or improve the XBox 360, it will be closer to Christas '07. So just get one now. It's worth it.

I think the one your talking about is already out... well at least the one with Ben-Q DVD ... i think all the ones 2007 on have them in... the New one is supposed to be for those that plane on downloading a lot of HD movies and shows... if you have mediocre internet then don't bother waiting and get one now..great games are already out now(Gears, RB6 , Oblivion, Lost Planet) and more are coming soon (crackdown , Mass Effect, Bio Shock, Halo 3 , GTaIV, project Offset, etc etc)
