So does the long awaited Elite actually have the falcon 65nm chip? From what i've gathered, there is still a lot of confusion about this… What's the deal?

if it makes you feel any better I went through 5 360's in a month and 3 of them in 1 weekend( traded them out @ eb games with warranty and 3 of the ones they replaced were still screwed). My first one was modded also but luckily I was able to find the original case and returned it missing some parts mind you … but hye thats what warranties are for right?

My 360 just broke on me too. But not the Three Rings of Death, but E 74. Something to do with the video card or A/V stuff. Not sure, but I will have to send it in. I was in the middle of playing the Shadowrun Demo when the screen got real weird. Then I went to the Dashboard and started playing Rainbow Six: Vegas where the screen started to mess up again. I thought I would just re-start the system, not. Now an error message appears whenever I start it up. You can find many other people who have had this problem on YouTube. The only good thing I can find out of this is that the Fall games haven't arrived yet and I wont be missing Halo 3. I just still can't believe how this morning my 360 was working perfectly, but now it doesn't.

The problem with the Red Rings is that there not fixing the console, there just replacing them if you send it in.

That really sucks that you've had all these issues, but really it's quite common which is quite sad.

However it's not that bad, the PS3 has been lacking for games, much like the 360 did in its first year but it's library is starting to pick up.

And there is some great titles on the way, so hopefully it will be a good buy GTA4, MGS4, UT3, FF etc.

I bought a 360 earlier this week, (my first console since the N64, I've always been a PC gamer at heart) and it does suck that I have to cross my fingers every time I boot it up. But a PS3 is out of my price range, and the Wii is too much of a gimmick. Plus the 360 has the fantastic game library and middleware that the others sorely lack. For that reason alone do I put up with the constant paranoia.

Unlucky man! You should tell the peeps from http://www.mygamertagspace.com about this and start a petition to get you a free xbox 360 ;p

When you were planning to paint your Xbox 360, did you consider going to a car painting shop or following whatever method they use to paint cars?

Just kidding! But hey! When you buy PS, you'll get it black anyway! Happy gaming!
