Is it Worth It?
Dimmukane:
I know I'm looking at the Netflix deal...Blockbuster generally doesn't have the movies I want in a store within 50 miles of my zipcode.
Emaline:
Well, we sell dvds, blu ray, hd dvds, and vhs at work, and we can special order them, so yeah...

RE: 360 RRoD
It is a major problem and anyone who tries to downplay it is lying to themselves to feel better about their 360. My 360 suffered a slow miserable death where the disc tray would refuse to close until I pressed the eject button 30 times until it finally ringed so I could send it to MS for free. It took about two weeks to get it fixed, which was almost entirely just shipping times (box from MS to me, 360 to MS, 360 back from MS). The actual repair work took two days max.
That being said, it is getting better; I would say most new systems will not do it and 99% of all systems will not do it twice. I would say my two weeks without my 360 (and couple of frustrating months fighting with it before that) is more than compensated by the 2 years besides when I had no problems and just a lot of fun with it.
Emaline:
I actually don't see it being a major problem. I mean, MS has amazing absolutely amazing customer service. They are quick, and very helpful.
The systems being made now, and sold since October have had a lot of the problems fixed. They are supposed to work better than the last ones.
Besides, even as buggy as it has been, I'm still pretty glad I bought a 360 as opposed to a PS3. I mean, PS3 has one game I'd like to play. One. And man, I could even pass on that game. It doesn't sound all that interesting.
Melodic:
Just because it has been a personal problem for you doesn't mean it's a major problem for the system in general. On the whole, hardware failure has been a negligible problem since updates made to the console back in '06. At this point, RRoD shouldn't factor into whether or not the Xbox is the right console for you.
