Xbox Arcade bundle $150 - Purchase advice.
Gemmwah:
I'm buying the halo reach limited edition console because it's silver and for £50 extra it comes with a second controller and a copy of halo reach, which i was gonna buy anyway so saving myself some cash. It looks deliciously sick, I can't wait until September.

It never ends! They are going to have to do better than that to get rid of the older Xboxes however.
I would rather get a slim model. The RRoD is just way to scary to consider paying that much for an older console.
Gemmwah:
Last summer's consoles contain the newer chipset that is much less likely to overheat. They changed it around July last year, so any console purchased after that doesn't get the extended 3 years. Basically it's super duper unlikely to RRoD anyway, I don't know why everyone thinks that all the old style 360s have the same probability of overheating and shitting the bed.
Ozymandias:
It really isn't that unlikely. I'll shout my love for the 360 and MS far and wide, but the fact is that RRoD is a pretty insanely common problem. I've sent mine in twice for it and they finally just sent me a new machine which constantly feels like it's on the verge of death itself.

Sorry to bring this up yet again, but I'm trying to decide if I should buy one of the new 4gb models or a pre-owned Elite? I'm a little wary of pre-owned 360s, what with all the reports of failures in the old models, but it's £30 cheaper, comes with a 12 month guarantee from the store, and is bundled with Red Dead Redemption, one of my main motivations for buying a console in the first place. Other than added reliability, I'm not too fussed about the new features on the slim models, so I'm leaning towards the pre-owned. Just wanted to check it wasn't an awful idea.
