That PS3 comment was ridiculous, but yours was silly as well. There's no way the red rings problem is fixed yet or even close. IT's better but not fixed. Don't lie to the TS

uhh, no they didn't

360s, even falcons, continue to randomly piss themselves and drop dead. The failure rate of the new consoles isn't over 30% like the original probably had and the fixes have helped but it is still significantly higher than it should be. Maybe jasper which should be coming 3rd quarter 08 will finally work.

LOL.....yeah, ok. Good luck with that 4 day turnaround time. It'll take 3-4 weeks at the very least. You'll be lucky if you recieve your shipping box within 4 days. I don't know who gave you your info, but you're waaaaaaaaay off buddy. Also, it's funny how people just accept FAILURE nowadays.

Like theprospect said, since you have an HDTV you need to hook it up with component, VGA or HDMI. I use HDMI for my PS3 and it looks beautiful. Videophiles will argue forever on what looks better, just get one of those cables.

it only makes a difference if your tv is 1080p anything lower use the components as it will not matter,if your tv is 1080p get the hdmi cables you'll see a difference

I'm not a hardcore gamer, i won't lose my mind if I go without my xbox for a couple of weeks. Also, I have close friends with wiis and PS3s so really it made sense to buy an xbox, I wouldn't call it accepting failure, unless you're referring to my acceptance of your posts

edit: thanks for the posts with the actual help in the meantime
