Because every time I go into a store the games are dirt cheap... like 98p dirt cheap.

I still feel a bit weary about getting one as I think my enthusiasm for gaming is pretty much gone... but I still want enjoy games.

Few questions..

1. Does the new USB HDD update mean I don't have to buy the bigger HDD? I could just buy the arcade as have a bunch of 16gb memory cards I could use... but then again, I wouldn't get a black 360..

2. Are players on Live still cussing up a storm in every game? One of the reasons I sold my 360 was due to immature players in games like Halo 3 and Gears.

3. Noise level? Are they still loud when th...edit nvm, just remembered you can install to HDD. Question answered. :p

4. Failure rate? I read somewhere that the failure is down to 3% after a new motherboard was put into the system. Is this true?

5. Whats the cheapest price for an elite these days?

Thanks.

HDMI socket is there, but no cable is included. if you want to pass audio on to a SPDIF reciever you need to buy the official MS HDMI dongle and cable for around £15.

I got an elite with Fable2, Forza3, Halo ODST and GoW2 for £190 3 weeks ago. Seems like you got a good deal, if you wanted those games!

Don't want those games but extra controller is a plus. Is that deal still going? I still have time to cancel my order.
