Know anyone buying a 360...because of Halo?

It is sad because I think that the RROD will outweigh Halo for sometime. It's getting great reviews, and teh 360 has some amazing games, but I don't think this will put them in any better position. Once we know there are fewer faulty 360's Microsoft might be in a better position to attack the Wii.

And one last thing...no more SKUs. That's the real killer I think, as it just cripples the lower priced model.

 Not sure about that. The general public doesnt seem to stay on top of these things as much as "hardcore gamers" do. You know, people who read websites like this on a daily basis. And even thenthe current shelf stock should be mostly updated hardware no?  As an example, the guys at the office know about the RROD issue, but seem to be under the assumption the new units (like the Elites, Halo edition and new Pro's w HDMI) have had the issues resolved. Wether thats true or not, fear of rrod doesnt seem to be deterring their 360 buying decision.
