Personally, I love my new Xbox... loving that its silent, big hdd and the built in WiFi. I dont have any complaints. That being said, your Pros and Cons are within reason i'd say.
As for everyone else, thanks for your responses! I deleted the cache after it happened and it looked like it helped. Maybe it cleared it all up... its working fine now regardless. Knock on wood......
[QUOTE="lawman86"]I popped NHL 10 in to play last night and go into the game, and get hardly anywhere and the xbox freezes. So I restart and try again... freezes again. I tried COD:MW2 and the same thing happened... but only when I was connected to the internet. Now I have 14mbps internet so theres never a slow, laggy moment, but last night was messed. Any time anything needed to access the internet it would slow to a crawl, lag for a bit and then lock up. Now I unplugged every accessory on my 360, disconnected my wireless adapter and unplugged my ethernet (on to test it) and I could play any game or do anything non-internet related as if the xbox was brand new out of the box. Now my question is, could this be hardware related? My internet is plenty fast enough to handle online gaming, and this morning everything seemed to be fine. This isn't a sign of issues to come is it? Has anyone else experienced similar issues? Thanks!NevecLP
Seriously why does everyone worry all the time about these things? I know you've said it's fine now but a lot of internet connection issues are usually for one night. Also IT'S ONLY A CONSOLE. What if it broke, have you got nothing else to do?
Buddy, are you alright? Honestly... im asking a question to people with an intelligent answer..... like EVERYONE else that answered. What if it broke? Its people like you Microsoft must lick their chops over.... I pay good money to have these consoles, id like them to function as long as they are still current. Go do whatever it is you do, and if uselessly posting in forums not helping a sole is what you do... find a new hobby.
Complete guess, but......could it be that your console is banned? It seems like if it has a problem connecting it could be a possiblility. Like I said though its a complete guess, good luck getting it fixed.Aft3rBurn3r
Hey thanks for the response. I highly doubt my console was banned... one reason being I haven't and won't do anything worthy of getting it banned. Also, I tried it this morning and it worked fine, both with the internet and without. I guess my overall question is whether or not this is common of a deteriorating condition of xbox 360's. Is it cause for concern? I just don't want to be happy that its fixed and then it come back and then I get slammed with a cost to get it fixed. I just friggin' bought a new year subscription to Live too!

Hello fellow gamers, quick question. When I was looking at the forums the other day somebody mentioned that EB Games had a deal on where if you trade in your 360 you could get an Elite for a certain deal. I cant remember the whole deal.. does anybody know if this offer exsists of if im completely off? or are there any Canadian deals at EB Games for trading in a pro or 20gb for an elite? Thanks in advance!
I came home from work tonight and for fun looked at the stock at my local Future Shop. Said it was in stock, so I went over and they had 5 sitting there with more in the back. 4 Future shops in my general area all have them in stock..... plenty actually. I picked one up and man is it ever SWEET! I love the look and the thing is virtually silent.. so crazy. Good luck to anyone who wants one, in the Greater Toronto Area they seem to be easy to come by.
I don't know how "Extremely low" the stock was, but did any of my fellow Canadian gamers in the GTA have no problem picking up a PS3 Slim as well? The Future shop closest to my house had like 5 in stock. Just picked one up and pretty excited to see how wicked this thing really is! Really wasn't expecting to get one until September 1st! Anyone else have any luck with the early stock?
Regardless of if it fits your needs or not, get COD4 man.. just incredible game all around. You unlock stuff in it and a trillion people play it at a time.... still.
So if thats the case and you can only use them on new accounts... why did so many people claim that they added it to their exsisting accounts??? Is it just people trying to get a rise out of others, or have people legitimatly been successful with it? I have a 1 month card as well... just curious.
