There's a new Bionic Commando coming out for the next-gen consoles.

I need an Xbox360. Star Wars The Force Unleashed. Ninja Gaiden II. Assassin's Creed.

I just don't feel to hype on paying 400 bucks for it. I wonder if the gov't is going to give me some free money. After some bills maybe I could hook on of these things up...

Xbox 360 Arcade Edition.... $280.00 brand new.

ONLY thing that sucks about the arcade edition is it comes with a 256MB memory card instead of the 20GB hard drive (but a hard drive can always be bought at a later date).

The hard drive is not REQUIRED, but is the only way to be able to download and play demos and tv shows / movies. Arcade edition is a GREAT deal for a next gen console though.

Now that's a cool option. I won't be on XboxLive anyways. I'm too cheap. The memory card has plenty of room for saving games I'm sure.

Yeah, if your not interested in Live, than this is the way to go. They also sell additional memory cards. Not sure how much space is needed for game saves but I am sure there would be plenty of room for a bunch of game saves.

Do you know which console? I love Bionic Commando. The Ninja Gaiden game for the first Xbox was fucking sweet.

I'm guessing it's probably going to be on all consoles.

Ninja Gaiden was awesome, so were the original NES games.

Yup, this the version I'm getting. Using it strictly for gaming from disc, no movies. I have HDMI but don't need it for gaming.

I'm not big on playing online, or paying for it. We already pay $55/month for internet axx and that's about all I'm willing to pay. I'm more of a casual gamer. I have TONS of games that I have never even played. But then again I paid pennys on the dollar compared to what most paid for them ;)

I would never bother playing online. It doesn't interest me, plus I'm not very good at a lot of games and don't need idiots reminding me about it. The only games I really do well on are wrestling games, because I play them more than anything else. I don't have the patience or temperment to play a lot of modern games.

How to Avoid Hardware Problems

* Air it out. Many failures are attributed to the inadequate cooling system of early-model 360s, so anything you can do to give it an easier time will pay off. Make sure you put the console in a place with cool, steady airflow.



I bet that human error is the main factor in most of the OG Xbox 360 over heatings. Give your stuff room to breathe and you'll be fine.

Wow, that sux. I had an OG Xbox 1 and never once had any problems with it until the mod chip broke and then I tried to fix it and completely broke the box. That sucked too. I haven't bought my 360 yet but it looks like I'll be on the safe side with a newer build.
