Ugh...These past few weeks have been crap but school is almost done. Although, I have a report to hand in (which I only have a page to show for) and 3 finals I haven't taken yet :(.
But, to celebrate the end of the school year, and hopefully a well-paying summer job, I decided to buy an Xbox 360. Originally, I wanted to upgrade my PC instead but found it to be currently impractical. Therefore, I decided on a console instead. As I already have a Wii, I had to pick between either the PS3 or the 360 and looking at the software library now, as well as the price, I found the Xbox 360 more attractive.
However, before I go and buy an Xbox 360 arcade, I have a couple of questions which hopefully, you guys can answer as I don't pay attention to the latest updates and details about the SKUs.
1) How are the RROD problems? They put in the new shrunk down processors in the Arcade version, right? Newer versions are more reliable?
2) How important is connecting to the internet? I'm planning on just offline gaming.
3) Does the arcade version have HDMI?
4) Possibility that future games might require hard drives?
5) How fast are the loading times? Comparable to Wii games?
6) Anything I might want to know as an owner?
I've already bought Crackdown as the first game for the console and I plan on picking a few RPGs over the summer.
Thanks.
