Its a good deal but why not ask for it for less money. $50 less. Than you can buy a year of live. My only concern is when does the warranty take effect when he bought it or when you regisiter it. They do break so you would definitely want a year warranty unless its a falcon

I mostly play COD4 online because to be quite honest everything else seems boring once you play this amazing game online. 33 year old gamer here. Tired of listening to 10 year old white kids rapping with the headsets. Add me my GT is justiceforall32. Right now I awaiting the return of my 360 as i just sent it out in the coffin.

If your warranty barely exceeds the 1 year warranty date for a problem other than the red rings since that covers 3 years they may give you a discount. They gave me a 75% discount since mine broke just after my warranty was over. I just asked to talk to a supervisor. It works out great for me since they will be also giving a free month of live and another one (1) warranty. for $25 this is well worth and I appreciate microsoft for this.

I will be sending my 360 (Pro) out as soon as I get my coffin. My TV only supports Component and HDMI. My question is if they send me a new or refurbished 360 and they send one with HDMI does it also have a component option. I obviously dont mind if it has HDMI but my TV is only has 1080i. Does anyone know if component is also included on the back of every 360.

Just get the pro. the xbox is not that reliable so why spend more when you will probably end up with a refurb about a year and half from now. I bought my console in May of 07 but it was made in September of 2006. What angers me is they knew there was issues with the 360 yet they continue to sell 06 units in 07. Oh enough cryin from me. Enjoy your 360. I get mine back in 3 weeks.

there is no tactical component to this game (single player) in any fasion. No team work, no covert missions, no tactics whatsoever. point gun - wait for a butt-load of enemies to pop up - shoot them. and the "halo armor" aspect is just brilliant for a military shooter. it's all so last gen, but with tight visuals. it's modern day halo. no wonder today's gamers are so flat out dumb. i mean, listen how 90% of CoD4's online population speak. it's like 500,000 high school drop-outs playing army-man like 8 year olds. maybe i'm just getting too picky as i get older, but can i please get a game that takes an ounce of intelligence rather than a intchy trigger finger and a knack for uber pwnage?theandy2000

I get it you stink at this game. Dont Cry. Keep practicing. Soon enough you will get more kills and better guns to choose from. P.S. Grenada!!!!!!!!

The strangest thing happened to me and as usual Microsoft had nothing helpful for me...

The other night I was playing Half Life 2: Episode 2 when the screen went checkered and froze. After a couple tries I was getting the infamous RROD. I called Microsoft and mine was quickly off for repair...

[Flash forward three-four days]

A friend of mine had let me borrow hers while mine was away on repair. I plugged it in to my power supply and popped my hard drive into her console. Bored one day (but a couple days after I had already been playing hers) I hesitantly decided to play Half Life 2: Episode 2 again. Shortly after playing, but while playing a different game on the same disc - the SAME EXACT problem began happening to hers.

Now I have to send hers in for repair.

I called Microsoft again inquiring as to what could have caused not one, but TWO, XBOX's to have the same problem occur in the very same week. After all, I'm trying to take every necessary precaution to make sure that this new XBOX I get in the mail from the repair center doesn't follow the same fate as the previous two. When I asked the SUPERVISOR what I could do or what could have caused this he told me that the only way for me to ensure this doesn't happen again is to play less, "an hour at a time" to be more specific. Psch. I spend all this time and money on an XBOX to have them tell me how long I can or cannot play for, this hardly seems either right or fair.

My question to anyone on the forum who may know more about this than I (or Microsoft for that matter):

-Can one disk cause permanent hardware failure on an XBOX 360?

-Can my power supply (the light is green when the XBOX is on) cause permanent hardware failure?

-Could I possibly have a corrupt file in my hard drive that causes permanent hardware failure to any XBOX I put it in?

Remember though: hers was working just fine playing The Orange Box and other games until but 5-10 minutes AFTER I played Half Life 2: Episode 2. If it were either the power supply or the hard drive wouldn't these symptoms have occurred sooner? Again I'm just trying to figure out what could have caused this evil coincidence so that it doesn't happen again.

Any help is much appreciated.

Take the hard drive off. If you are still having problems than its not the HD. I dont think it really matters how well you have the thing set or take of it.
