2 Noob Xbox 360 Questions.

Not all elites are coming with the Falcon chipsets yet. If you do get the RROD it isn't a big deal. You send back the console and usually get it back within 5 days or so.

 

HAH! Thats a BEST cast scenario,on avg, its more like 2 weeks.

As your Elite is concerned, i think, as long as you dont keep it in an enclosed area with other heat emitting electronics youll be fine. MS updated the consoles after last summer, so every console from then on was less prone to the Red Rings.

And good choice in games btw. All of em are pretty damn good.

 

I've had to do it twice and neither time has it taken more then 5 days.

 

I was kind of concerned about the Falcon chip as well because I heard that all the Halo 3 Special Edition Xbox360s had the chip but I looked at the tag and it said 203w.

It's basically the same thing. Only some of the Halo 3 editions actually have the Falcon chip. There are certain carton numbers to look for. I don't remember the numbers but the boxes with those carton numbers all have the 175w power supply listed as well.

 

I had to send it in once, took 8 days total. Really nothing. If people can't stand that short period of time away from a game console, then they have bigger problems than worrying about a faulty 360.
