I dunno, I prefer my systems to not stop working after 3 years. I still have a perfectly functioning atari 2600 and NES.

You don't need a Halo edition to get a good box. I have had a 360 since launch and never had any problems

We i got the last one (premium)

if you order from overstock, make sure whatever you get is NEW. i've ordered an xbox 360 and received a refurb.

#21, that's a very valid point. I've got a Sega Genesis and original NES, but the last time I pulled them out to play was back in 1995. Now they're just keepsakes. On the other hand, old games are often repackaged into newer systems - I was able to replay some of the original Zelda and Zelda II on the Gamecube before I lost interest again. To each his/her own, I suppose.

with what I am reading in these posts, this xbox model isn't worth buying because of the possible issues. i wonder if that is the reason overstock is selling it for a cheaper price

is it still sold out?

#22, you will be having problems eventually just hope you are still with in your 3 years from purchase date.

the core system doesn't include the hard drive, headset, and other stuff (I think the HDMI)
