So i was working 12-14 hours a day and had no time for my 360, gave it to a child in need 6 months ago.

Now I have a new job working normal 8 hours a day! lol

I hear rumors of a price drop coming in the next couple months - but I keep going to Dell.com and wonder if I should buy the 60gig pro for $254 or get the arcade for $169 and get a 120gig later...

someone point me in the right direction please, im too indecisive!! :confused:

1- Are you going to play now or a few months down the road?

2- Those Dell Prices are really good. The 120GB has been seen at $130, which means that an arcade at $169 + 120GB HDD is roughly $300, the *rumored* price point for the fall.)

3- Need GPS with that road map? ;)

I'll trade you a brand new, you pick it, Xbox for a job.:D

I've been looking all over ebay for cheaper than dell and i keep finding refurbs, no thanks -

i don't think i will ever utilize the 120gig - i had the elite previously and only played 3 games and had mabye 1 arcade title!

i don't think i will ever utilize the 120gig
You say that now, someday you might wish you bought it but you'll never look back and say "I wish my Xbox has less storage."

so this morning i bought the 12+1 for $28! awesome deal!!

went to amazon and got another copy of gears 2 + 1600 ms points

and finally clicked checkout at Dell.com on a 60gig pro!

I feel much better now, lol

i wonder how many people I have left on my friends list after being gone for 6 months

Eff all that.

Get COD4, get on Xbox Live and come play with us. You will never have as much fun as you will doing that. It will make you leave your wife, kick your dog and slap your momma its so much fun!

I'll trade you a brand new, you pick it, Xbox for a job.:D

Wow. My parents owned a cabin in Grass Lake way back when. Good luck in the job search.

And to the OP, send a friend request to 'hugh jurgan' and 'hugh bawls' ad you'll never need to look for freinds. That list is most of the guys here.

Does anyone have a late model 60gig pro? Just wondering how quiet they are now?

my original 20gig was LOUD! the 3 refurbs microsoft sent me due to RROD were LOUD! lol

After that I got 2 Elite's and the first was kinda noisy, but the next wasn't that bad.

how are they doing these days?

A friend of mine got a 60GB pro last fall that is whisper quiet, so they do exist.
But since they still mix-n-match DVD drives its still the luck of the draw...

Just a warning, I picked up a refurb HDMI Pro from geeks.com and got rrod in a month and a half. So while it was a decent price and all, Id advise spending an extra 20-50$ for piece of mind.

He already bought one from Dell.com....unless that was just a general warning and not directed towards the OP. :)

Unless you live in Fresno it means it was scanned in Fresno on its way elsewhere; on ground shipping there may be sseveral of those as the package clears shipping nodes. Don't worry about it.
The only line that matters is: "out for Delivery". :)

Or "transfered to post office as were to lazy to walk up the drive way your parcel so you have to drive into town and get it."

Ah well.
Guess I'll have to keep an eye out. Thanks.

tell kid to give it back. If not, sue him for all he's worth

not as much as i miss all the sex i got in the beginning of my marriage.....hahhaha

but seriously, is money a big deal to you, then wait for the price drop, if not just buy one and don't stress about it. life has too many problems then worrying about saving 50 bucks on a video game system..

That's just 12 months. I know because I got in on it, too :)

Hope you got your 360. I hate waiting on packages sometimes. I live out on the edge of Clovis and them UPS guys won't get out here til just after I get out from work. Not cool on a "half day".


How you liking this friggin' heat? Gaaahhh! It was about 120 degrees outside on Sunday. :eek:

yea this heats killer! not used to it yet!!

moving all my stuff into my new house - bad thing is i forgot the ups guy doesnt usually show up until 8pm... lol

i know where XBL can be found for $35

is lot no: 0848X jasper?

when the packaged arrived it has a bent in corner on the xbox packaging!

im wondering if i should just keep it - the same thing would probably happen again!

Current Rating on 12V Rail 12.1A

wow am i pissed! never have i had any electronics damaged!

The box is messed up a little bit but when i opened the box the hard drive is physically damaged!!!!

what can i get Dell to do for me? Upgrade 2 elite for free? lol

last time i order from Dell....

odd, i've always gotten good shipping from dell.... did it look packed well? sometimes you can't blame dell because the UPS guy took his anger out on your package instead of his wife's face.

Is there anywhere in town where I can exchange it without a receipt?

i know walmart will have scanned there xbox 360's in the system when there sold but will they let me exchange it?

Call dell and bitch. They'll probably just send you a new 360, and you can put the old one in the box and send it back to them.

Don't you get a 2-day gold trial or something w/a new system? That's probably all you need anyways...

If that doesn't work, just create a silver account. You may get lucky and get offered a month of gold for $1 (happened to me).

I have an account that just went silver on june 23rd - ill just create a temp gamertag in the meantime while i wait for my 12 month.

the $1 gold i was told was an automatic subscription to xbox live with your credit card! no thanks, $7.99 a month

i just noticed after i recovered my GT my Gears 2 went from 1000/1000 to 750/1750 or around there - i lost friends with benefits and brumak among others... odd

hmm I didn't have anything in terms and conditions stating automatic subscription... I'll have to check on that.

Not like it'd matter since once I get my card, I'll redeem it for a year...

The $1 promotional upgrade automatically enrolls participating members into a one-month renewal system. Once the promotional month expires, members will be charged the standard $7.99 fee each month unless they opt out. Currently, Microsoft has not announced an end date for the promotion.

im glad they give us a choice to opt out! gonna go sign up for 100 pennies

Good to know. I logged into my account and saw auto renewal was on. Jerks! So how do I opt out? I can't seem to find an option anywhere to do it...

i don't think i will ever utilize the 120gig - i had the elite previously and only played 3 games and had mabye 1 arcade title!At E3 they announced that in the Fall they're going to start offering full games for download from XBL--if you get into a habit of buying games that way, they'll surely chew up some space.

might have to call 1-800-4-MY-XBOX and speak to customer service...

there's always a catch!!
