Hi there
this is my first time posting over here...so if anything tell me dun flame me k..thanks....there is a question have been going around my head for the last few week.
Since the new falcon xbox360 have come out, and the chances of 3ROD will be reduced(not entirely).

For ppl that is going to buy Xbox360
what would you prefer?

A:  get a second hand Xbox360 , and make sure that previous owner was playing constanly and didn't get hit by 3ROD

or

B:  Buy a new falcon xbox360 try your luck out

or

C:  Buy a new Xbox360 without falcon chipset.

which one would you prefer.?
i am trying to make up wat choice would be better?

Thanks blinky for opening this thread, helping me make up my mind. I am in the same situation like you, getting 360 next week. Falcon for me too.

waiting make me crazzy,
waiting make me crazzy,

dont wait just go ahead and buy..... there is no prof that jasper will minimizee rrod, as what ppl sayin better prevent than cure... prevention is as above and jasper is the cure.. hahaha can use ar this saying?.. hahaha really depend on luck la.... later jasper come out other problem might surface... so there is totally nothing is perfect.

or if u wish no rrod go for ps3.. ops u heard me ps3 for sure no rrod.

dude, get xbox elite and new is always better...
i plan to sell my xbox360 just to get the elite edition just because of the black color to match my tv and home theater sys and of course hdmi... but not sure yet i just might wait for a better price...

FALCON PUNCH!!1!

You can:

1) Sit around and twiddle thumbs, waiting for a 100% failure-proof 360 to come out while everyone else is enjoying the awesome games on theirs and slowly come to the realisation that the community is pretty awesome and supporting Zerg's claymore product is something you look forward to all day;

or 2) take action, and get a falcon set from a reputable seller like GH, because you know that there have been improvements made, and that the warranty is good for 3 years, and that reputable sellers will honour that warranty and the sale. You then place your falcon set in a well ventilated place, and keep the general area dust-free, and ensure your media is taken good care of, comfortable in the knowledge that 3ROD is nothing but a small number, and that you're in the majority, and even if you're not, there's a mechanism in place, through the warranty, to solve your worries.

so then Ｂ　is the answer.......
wahah...sure getting one soon...
but for GOW2 , is not really GOW2 is just pickup from where the finish and continue it. proberly they will come out with another kinda of cool name..... MS still haven't confirm yet ............
