So here is my dilema. I have an old 16 amp Xbox that MS sent me last year refurbished when my first RROD on me. Now I can tell this thing is going because sometimes I get an E74 error and sometimes I get a disc error. Don't wanna fix this stupid thing anymore. So next year I'm getting a new console, just don't know which is best for me. I play a good portion of games, however I really don't d/l games on demand or install them to the HD. Installing to HD though may be something I start doing. I have gamefly and only buy games i really really want.

So that's my question, would it be just better to get an arcade and use my old 20 gig HD, or with the possibility of lots of DLC coming out for new games like AC2, MW2 and Forza 3, should I just splurge and get the elite for the bigger space? Any help would be appreciated. And btw, I'm only collecting unemployment and I'm a student if that helps. Thanks guys

Always go with the harddrive option especially now that the price has dropped.....they let students collect unemployment? I thought that's why they have student loans. What country do you live in?

I would buy the Elite but get a memory card and put all your valued saves and stuff from your 20gb HD onto it. Then you can put it onto your new HD which comes with the Elite. Make sure to put your account onto the memory card to transfer that to the Elite though. Also you shouldn't lose your downloaded DLC, as long as you continue to use the same account you can re download it for free as they know you have already paid for it.
