Q: I am thinking of buying a Xbox 360, but I am being put off by all the problems I keep reading about, crashing, 3 red rings, etc, are there still a lot of problems ? Is it worth getting the 360 and if so which version? or save up a bit longer and go for the PS3? Last thing I want is a machine I have to keep sending back.
A: The problems were related to the first white model of the xbox 360, as with all continous improvement the new xbox has resolved these issues. I own the new black, 360 elite which has been perfect and no problems. The ring of death was due to overheating which has been resolved with more effective fans. The thing that Xbox wins on hands down is Xbox Live. It is the best part of owning an xbox and is really easy to set up. PS3 comes no where near Xbox due to this.
