3 Questions about the new Xbox 360..?

So i’ve heard that the old 360′s were infamous for getting a red ring that crashed the system & i’m just curious if the latest models that came out more efficient. Second, is there a model that is bundled with the Kinect? And lastly, what are the prices? especially if I want to get one w/ Kinect. Thank you all.

Not all the old xbox 360s had the red ring issue, it was really only the first two generations, and that was avoidable if you treated your xbox nicely (as I did, I had a first gen xbox last 4 years, before it finally died). I’ve had my Xbox 360 Slim (aka the New Xbox) since it’s release, so I do know what I’m talking about.

You can actually buy the New Xbox 360 + kinect, it comes in a bundle. There are two different bundles

* I would suggest going with the 250gb hard drive, games run cleaner if you install them, and 4gigs actually is really, really tiny.

Now, the new xbox has its plus sides, and its negative sides. It does run quietly for the most part (on game start-up it can be quite noisy, but for the most part it is silent). It does seem to run and load a bit faster than my other xbox, and it doesn't really heat up after use.

HOWEVER, the new xbox has a major flaw, that a lot of people (including myself) seem to be encountering; it has issues reading discs, even new ones. I'm not too sure what the issue is quite yet, but a lot of games take multiple tries to get this new one to pick them up as games, rather than unreadable dvds.
