Alright. I'm currently up in the air on this one. I really want an XBox or XBox 360; the problem is, I don't know which to get. I hear theres problems with the 360, where it'll randomly die, and that would severely !@#$% me off. Here are the games I really want:
Halo (XBox)
Halo 2 (XBox)
Dead Rising (360)
Fable (XBox)
Halo 3 (360)
Fable 2 (360)
Grand Theft Auto IV (360)

I'm thinking the 360 because then i could play ALL of those, instead of just some, but i dunno. How stable are the 360's?

Now, they are alot better. Not to mention that if anything does go wrong, Microsoft will just send you a box, free of shipping charges, you send it in via FedEx, and they replace it with a new one.

In order to play the original Halo on your 360 you'll need to download an update from xbox live (for free) and you don't need life gold you can use silver (the free one).

Anyways, My 360 has just died randomly (yet I get !@#$% blamed as always) which pissed me off royally, but I heard that the latest batch of released consoles arn't as likely to break as the previous ones.

If they do break, Microsoft will repair it for free. So it's just inconvenience, really.

Yes, the 360 does "improve" the graphics somewhat for old Xbox games, pretty much all it does is just upscale them to HD and add anti-aliasing.

I'm an Xbox 360 owner, and mine has never died, I've had it for about a year.  If your 360 DOES die within a year, they replace it free, and give you a free month of Xbox Live :)  I don't think they break that often though, it just seems blown out of proportion on the internet :)

I highly reccomend you get a 360, with Xbox live, infact I don't think I've ever enjoyed a home console nearly as much as I have my 360.  My 360 usually gets daily use.

The *most* important thing about getting a 360, is getting Xbox Live.  Xbox Live is the best invention since sliced bread, okay?  You really can't understand how wonderful it is until you have it.  Your console comes with a free microphone, and in every online match, everybody else has one as well.  There really aren't that much "cursing racist 12 year olds" like you hear about all the time.  Then theres the Xbox Live Marketplace, which has thousands of Themes, Avatar-picture-type-things, downloadable content for games, hundreds of demos, movies, tv shows, etc.  Xbox Live arcade is also awesome, with a huge lineup of great games.

I highly highly highly reccomend getting a 360.

My Top Reccomended Games:
Gears of War
Viva Pinata
Crackdown
Shadowrun (only online, but very fun)
Rainbow Six Vegas (great online mode)


Xbox Live Arcade games I reccomend:
Prince of Persia: Classic
Boom Boom Rocket
Geometry Wars
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
Alien Hominid HD
Settlers of Catan
Doom
Marble Blast Ultra
Mutant Storm Reloaded
Pacman CE (like pacman 2 :o)
Paperboy
Pinball FX
Small Arms
Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3
Worms

360. I've had yet to encounter problems with it. If it does happen, there are things you can do to fix it. As long as you keep your 360 in a well-ventilated, cool area, you should be fine. And never strike it.
