360's been fixed?

Just get a computer instead.

 

Bobo, since I got my replacement unit a few months back I have yet to have a single problem. you might wanna hold off a few more weeks though. there's rumor that the price will drop again near the holidays - also, these new 65nm chipset units should start rolling out sometime soon - that's the unit you want

65nm chip + HDMI out = shiny

if you just gotta get one today, Office Depot was offering a $50 rebate making the Premium unit a nice $299

whatever you do, make sure you get one with a HDD; whether that be the Premium or the 120gb Elite - word on the elite though, they have been riddled with problems


but in reality, with a 3 year warranty , who really cares if it tears up ... as long as you can get a new one - they even restarted my warranty date to the date that they shipped my new unit

 

the 65nm chips run quiter and cooler

and HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is currently the best way to connect. ... everything (HD video and Dolby Digital audio) all travel down 1 single cable ... pretty sweet to hook something up with only 1 cable versus 5 like component

 

btw ..... even if you don't have a TV with no HDMI input, you can still hook it up composite (yellow / red / white) or component

 

1080i is as high an output as you can get for games I believe
there is a 1080p enable switch in the settings, but I believe it's only for the HD-DVD add on

and yes, 1080p is better than 1080i, not only in theory but in reality
however, you must have a TV capable of receiving and displaying it
I STRONGLY suggest the Sony KDS-**A2020 ( i got the 60")

remember the "i" stands for interlacing
the "p stands for 'progressive' scan
progressive scanning is always a better alternative to interlacing
