wildwest08 Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 I have a xbox 360 hdmi right now which hasnt had any problems at all and I love it. But, the new xbox looks nice and I could use the wireless feature and bigger hard drive. The only bad things I have heard about the new xbox is that it can overheat and if you move it while playing it will destroy your disc (which i never do). So should I get the new one or not? Is there any other problems... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhantomNemesis Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 If you have the money and want a new console, then go ahead, you clearly have reason to. I'm too poor so I'll just buy a 250GB HDD separately and live with the damn ethernet cables and lack of HDMI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any other problems... No matter which version of the Xbox 360 you buy, it will destroy your disk if you move, so that shouldn't affect your decision. If you have a spare $300 lying around than go ahead, if not there really isn't a need to upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee Zee Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 If I had the money I would, it looks real cool and it has a built in wi-fi. So why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starstrukk X360A Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Don't bother unless your current 360 craps out on you. Your current 360 works fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ppman77 Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 I would suggest you find out just how fast the new xbox is or wait for good reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mongolian Beef Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Yes buy one. Let us know if it overheats. It doesn't scratch discs, unless you tip it over like a dummy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klokwerk Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Don't bother unless your current 360 craps out on you. Your current 360 works fine. Ditto, if it ain't broke don't fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MelangeAddict Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Unless your current version is so screwed up you have to get a new one, save your money for something more useful, like taking a lady friend on some dates and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nero x360a ps3t Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Wait until your current xbox breaks, then buy it. No need for 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sizzlebuzz Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Once my current one wears out, I will probably get it. I suggest the same to you. Don't get it until you have to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regulardrake Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 I will probably get one, when mine decided to kick it. Right now it works just fine and it all ready has a 250gig hard drive in it. Plus by the time mine does kick it, the new ones should be heat prof. Microsoft hasn't officially said these new ones are heat prof, or at least I haven't see or heard they are heat prof.

Neverender Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 I made a thread specifically about this (whether to upgrade/buy a new one). It's fairly detailed, here's the link. TL;DR Version: If it's not broken, don't buy a new one. You can upgrade your current one to do everything the new one can do at a fraction of the cost. If that still doesn't convince you, at least wait until the holidays when they have a decent bundle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damian227 Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 The only bad things I have heard about the new xbox is that it can overheat and if you move it while playing it will destroy your disc (which i never do). So should I get the new one or not? Is there any other problems... As somebody who's repaired a few 360's, both of those are common problems with the current batch of 360's too. In fact the new one is LESS likely to do any damage when it gets hot. The current ones gradually break down due to heating issues, the new one will shut itself down at critical temps to protect the computer. I plan on purchasing one in a couple of weeks myself. Just shop around because there seems to be a price war going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidereal Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 I vote getting the new one. Just as soon as I can get the money, I'll be getting on myself. Course, then I'll have two 360s, but that's a good thing in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evo Kazz Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 I hate console re-releases, I love the original consoles, same with PSOne, PS2 and PS3. I love the chunkier ones as those are the classics! As for wireless, wired will always be better, stick to ethernet. I hate the new PSP as well, the 3000 model looks so much nicer. The only updated console I agree with is the DSi, it is tons better, although the DSXL looks stupidly oversized. Anyways....I wouldn't bother.

I usually get the originals, but after I got robbed, the Elite came out, so I got that one. Now all my consoles are black. I think the only real reason I'm even getting the 360 S is because it's gloss rather than matte, and both the Wii and PS3 are gloss as well. OCD and whatnot, I guess.

Haha, I don't blame you, I am OCD about my gear matching, I have an Elite as well so it matches the PS3 and I would deffo buy the black Wii if I get another one someday. Colors I don't mind new versions, but whole new designs I don't normally like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UCB Disco Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 I always warn people about buying new versions of things right away, because there hasn't been enough time to find out all the problems. Much like the iPhone 4 right now. It looks cool, does a lot of cool things, but guess what? Consumer Report said hell no, because of a major flaw. This will just mean that another iPhone 4 will come out later and be much better. As for the new 360, just wait it out. If it stays positive, go ahead. If not, just wait for a more enhanced one to come out. With electronics, it's always smart to be patient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
