Major updates, 250g internal hd, and internal wifi.

neat, i like the 50 dollar price drop on the arcade. i have a rrod 360 that i did the xclamp fix on and it worked great for about 3-4 months. now when i turn it on it gives me rrod when it is cold. funny thing when i leave it on with red lights flashing to heat up, i can turn it on and after about 5 minutes and it is good and hot, i turn it off and back on and it boots right up just fine. watched i am legend on my hd dvd player all the way through so it was on for about 2 hours straigh no problems. would be nice to get the 150 dollar arcade and swap it out.

It was always a competitor. Xbox > PS3. Now I'm going to have to see how much Gamestop will give me for my Halo Edition and get this new one.

This isn't even worth. Yea, the Wi-Fi is cool but I'm pretty sure new systems will be out in 2012 or even 2011.

I've had the 360 since launch and have only replaced 1.

If I can get a decent trade in price for my current one, I may get the new one. The WiFi would be nice so I can play in another room and the quiet factor is a plus.

i mean its a good system but my brother has one and nothing but problems, theyre all going to be different depending on how much you use your own. wifi is a big plus for xbox owners save money on the wireless networking adapter. i dont hate the xbox its a good system i just have been with sony since the first playstation lol and thats years ago prob around 1995-96.

I was too cheap to buy a wireless card for the xbox, so I just connected it via ethernet to my laptop and used my laptop's wireless connection.

I don't know what the hell people do to their xbox's, but I've replaced one cause of RROD since launch. I see people who say they're on their 8th or 9th one and I just can't believe it.

It's still better than playstation.

They got rid of the RROD..

Now when it fails, the center light turns red.
