Ok, anyone who is good at making decisions get in here.

Here's the deal:

My Xbox RROD'd. An Arcade is $200 and an Elite is $300. I can afford both, but I don't necessarily want to spend $300 on myself this close to Christmas. However the advantage of an Elite would be the bigger hard drive, which I need.

I have a hard drive, so $200 would be all I would have to spend to be able to play the Arcade out of the box with no real differences. The Elite would require transferring all my shit onto the other hard drive, which is done by a free cable that I would have to probably wait a month or so for. That's not an issue because I can use my current hard drive until I get the cable.

What do I do ;-;

RRoD's hard drive still usable.

Old hard drive + cheaper ex bawks = saved money + more hard drive space

All RRoD'd 360's have a renewed warranty.

re: Ok, anyone who is good at making decisions get in here.

You are lucky. Heaven is smiling upon you.

You had the xbox long enough to serve you in it's best time of gaming. Now it's time to move to the PS3, with it's large library of exclusives and more to come, you'll benefit highly.

You'll also have some money after selling your games in as well, so you'll be good for Christmas.

Good luck.

re: Ok, anyone who is good at making decisions get in here.

Oh, I thought I heard somewhere that it was a 2 or 3 year warranty for the RRoD. Either way this Xbox was made in 2005 D:

I got talked into an Elite by my friends, and I guess it makes more sense when I think about it.

Not really, if you already have all the extras theres no reason to go elite.

re: Ok, anyone who is good at making decisions get in here.

Well I only have a GB or so left on my current hard drive, so just buying a new one of those plus the Arcade would be more than the Elite. Plus the Elite comes with 2 games, which add up to at least another $100 for free.

re: Ok, anyone who is good at making decisions get in here.

Just get the Elite. If you're going to be gaming online, then that's what you should go for. If you have an HDD that's already 120 GBs, then go for the $200 model and just replace the HDD.

How the hell do people need 120GB??

I have the 60GB, around 25 games and only used about 40GB.

Who plays like 75 games?
