Here's a chart that compares the contents of each. PS: And yes, you should get one .

I've just never had a problem with their products. Sure, I'm on my third 360, but my previous two didn't have the common problems most others have, one was a drive controller and the other the video scaler chip went out, neither were RROD errors. I owned 4 original Xboxes, two of which still work, one fried, and the others drive stopped working. Then I look at my PS2's, owned 4 of theme as well, all of which died. And yeah, don't buy a 360 that isn't guaranteed new, for all you know it could already have issues. Plus the new Jasper units have changes made that fix the most common problems that cause the RROD.

I haven't had my 360 die on me, or my Xbox, or my PS1, or my PS2, haha. All I have something against is Apples computers, they piss me off. So impractical and there's no right click on the standard mouses. Anyways, prioritize man, if you think you have the money available and want to invest in one, go ahead. But if you know you have prior obligations, it's better to wait. Edited by SpartanSinister, Apr 3 2009, 12:08 AM.
