Should I get an Xbox 360?

Red Ring of Death...lots get it, you can send it into Microsoft for free though.

free meaning you pay for shipping and they fix it for free.

You should get one. I have both a Wii and a 360, and each one is great for different types of games.

If you get a 360, you should get Halo as well as The Orange Box. They're both excellent games.

Can you send it to be repaired for free in the UK, or do you have to ship it to the US?

Yes get one its a good system with a wide good libary of games though you have to get an elite because they dont sell the premium package though I would recomend a ps3 because they tend to have more rpgs.

By the way, does anybody have the Limited Edition Halo 3 Console? It looks really nice, but I'm not sure if I should just get a Premium.

Here's the Halo 3 Console (which ironically doesn't come with Halo 3):

QFT.

Just got them, waiting for the postal service to come and take my beloved 360 to repair

Am have that version [thought it looked so much better than either the normal xbox or the elite]-made a thread about it back in feb with photos and details- http://www.wrongplanet.net/postt57205.html
its easier to look at than the bright white of the normal xbox.
and there were two halo packages-one came with the game,and one came without,is good having the option as not everyone likes halo.

make sure that the tv is at the correct MHz for running the games,because if it's only able to be in PAL speed-it wont run them,it'll just say PAL isnt supported and to change the settings in the dashboard.
if it's not a new tv,it might only be able to run in PAL speed.
am did not know this when got the xbox,as the tv was good,but old,was able to go and get a LCD HDTV the next day [?],great excuse.



all the red ring of death problems-they are almost all associated with the pre 'falcon' xboxes, the Halo version is a 'falcon',these were the hardware updated xboxes they replaced the rest with to reduce the RROD problems,but they are not invincible,no console is.
dont let unreliability of the older ones put off getting it and get another console instead,will miss out.
just make sure to put the power pack on a solid floor,keep it and the console free from other objects,dont keep playing all day and not give the console a chance to cool down-overheating is the main problem with the xboxes.

sisters' boyfriend has one of the first that were released and it has not had one RROD,he doesn't constantly play it though.
