Bulovski Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 hey there - welcome to GI - first up, no questions / discussions on piracy will be entertained, so would request you to edit the last line in your post. you've made a good decision to buy a 360 - however, I suggest wait till the end of February - you might get a pleasant surprise (Sam - back me up here). Although the xbox 360s across the world are using new chips which reduce the RROD threat significantly, we in India are stuck with old stock from launch in India. However, you get a 3 year warranty for RROD, and MS generally replaces it quickly in big cities (a week). So buy safely. If you want to get games cheaply I suggest become an active member and keep a lookout on the Trading Post - there are usually good deals and available on many games.

reaper Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 first of all, welcom to the forums. 1. buying a 360 from anywer is the same .. the service issues are handled by reddington directly. no need to worry about service issues. 2. Any 360 can RRoD .. u can never be too sure .. 3. u serious?? next gen gaming on a 14" ??? u better get ur self atleast a 19 / 22" LCD WS monitor to enjoy the graphics. 4. U are asking an illegal Q. piracy discussions are a strict nono on the forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffMonkey Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 Judging from Bulovski's post, hes hinting that the new xbox's might come to india soon. So wait till then. The RRoD problem is a big pain in the a*s. If you don't want to wait, buy it but be mentally prepared for disc scratching/RRoD chances. Or just buy a ps3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somebody Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 The RRoD problem is a big pain in the a*s.If you don't want to wait, buy it but be mentally prepared for disc scratching/RRoD chances. with the new dashboard update u can install games right ? that atleast reduces scratching of discs and chances of RROD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aftrunner Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 Whats with the RROD fear? Its a 3 year waranty. There is nothing to worry about, at worst you will be without your Xbox a few days while MS replace it. Unless you mod it. In which case if you get RROD you are screwed. And deservingly so. Buy legit games. Also whats with the Feb surprise that keeps popping up? MS bringing Arcade in here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vantheman5211 Posted February 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 yeah what exactly is the feb suprise? pls tell me guys cause i have to buy the 360 this month.i cant wait to get my hands on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

renjith Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 how is it compared to elite?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aftrunner Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 Thats it? Chances are it would be priced as absurdly as the rest of the 360 india hardware stock. Lame. Might as well buy now in that case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HundredProofSam Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 i suggest you hold off on the 360 purchase till the end of the month....i think it will be worth the wait btw, which version of the 360 do you plan on buying? peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
