Elite, and the only issue I have with it is the wireless card is too expensive for me to bother with even my Silver account on Live.

In November of 2008 it did red ring on me, but I sent it to Microsoft and it was fixed. Good as new, it hasn't given me any trouble since.

I think I got it back in October of 2007 but I am not to sure of what the actual date was though.
Crazy, you got it back nearly a year before you sent it out. Microsoft is crafty they mastered time travel and didn't even tell the world. It's only a matter of time before Google and Microsoft go to war and leave the world devastated by their battles.

I have an Elite that gets used, and a regular oldie with a wood panel front plate that sits on a shelf and get's hooked up when people come over to network game. Not that many games support networked gaming anymore. A sad sad state of affairs.

That is hilarious. A definite screen-shot save.

just a knowledge nugget for the OP, we're discussing "SKUs" in this thread. SKU is an acronym for "Stock-keeping Unit" and refers to different way that the distributor packages a product.

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER.

I got the standard one, And it was my baby, Then it RRoD'd, And i got a new one (thanks Microsofty!) and ive put a 120gb HDD on my Xbox now, So i have space again.

But in all fairness, Bigger HDD & Paint job are all that separate Elite from Normal anyway.
I believe that the original elites also featured the falcon chip, but i could be mistaken.

I was forced to buy a new xbox also, when my original RROD'ed after just over 3 years, so subsequently was outside even the extended waranty!

I made sure I bought the Arcade version with the latest motherboard/CPU which I believe was the falcon chip at the time. Guaranteed to overheat less and generally be more reliable. I have NEVER had to buy a new console simply because it's average life span is only a few years!

Still I remain loyal to Microsoft simply because of the LIVE service (mostly just the marketplace and daily features, I'm not much of a multiplayer type) Plus the 360 has the best selection of games going, for my play style at least. However am envious of the PS3's MGS4, Heavy Rain and Uncharted :(

I bought a new Arcade with HDMI, and a used 120GB HDD. Saved me $100 off the price of an Elite.

Arcade. No problems with this. Not a single one.

[sub]The three before it are another story...[/sub]

But I've invested far too much money in games and the marketplace to sell it and get a PS3 at this point.

arcade.
It's all I could afford.
But with my luck, three months later the price of the elite dropped to the price I payed for the arcade. Head, meet desk.
You pretty much need a hard drive with a 360... I had a harddriveless 360 for about a year, and I was a sad sad creature for most of it.

I now understand the reason they even sell Arcades... they're for people whose xbox is out of warranty and broke.. because it's really the only market I can see that wouldn't be disappointed with it...

I bought a 20gb hard drive for my old 360 for 70 dollars (back when that was actually what 20gb HDDs were selling for, now they're considerably less). For 30 more dollars tacked onto the price of that and my arcade, I could have had a 120gb drive, a better constructed machine, and a game or 2 thrown in (They really needed to make a fallout 3 bundle for 360... if there was one when I got my latest 360, even 2 years after fallout 3 came out, I would have bought it)... it sells itself..

the same sort of thing stands now.. if you're going for an elite, if you can hold off for a week or two to shore up the extra hundred dollars, you get a 250gb HDD, a game, an extra controllers, and a free subscription to XBL.. easily worth more then the 100 dollars extra...

Those microsoft guys are crafty devils.
I'm actually quite pleased with it, with the exception of the lack of Xbox Live.
I'll probably suck it up and get it soon. TF2 is going to waste as it is.

I do need another memory card, though.

Started out with a standard, then got another standard, then another standard then got an Elite.
Which, with April fast approaching and that is the time my 360's tend to kill themselves, shall probably be replaced with an Arcade with my Elites HDD.

Halo Edition. This is my third 360, and it has lasted about a year longer than my others at this point. The first one I had lasted 8 months.

I had to get 2 of the original Xboxes as well. Oddly, the second one of those was also a Halo Edition. It lasted until I picked up a 360. I'm beginning to get attached to these Halo machines.

Don't own one. Aside from the Crackdown series, I haven't seen too much to really justify getting one anytime soon.

I have a Pro because it was a reasonable price and because it didn't suck like the arcade... I wish I would have gotten the Resident Evil 5 Edition but I don't need to get it not...

I have the old premium version, made back before they added HDMI.

20GB HDD, old chipset, you get the idea.

Had it repaired twice. >.>

I have two Xboxes, one of the launch line, pre-ordered Xbox from way back in 2005, and it still runs. (Had 1 RRoD) I also have the special edition MW2 Edition Xbox 360 because I really needed the HDD space.
