Halo 3 Edition 360 Available now

[ProgrammingAce]

Back on topic, I picked up my Halo 360 today and am a bit disappointed. I haven't opened it up yet but I noticed on the side of the box it says "Component HD AV" when the big banner/sign on the front window of my Gamestop where I bought it says "HDMI port". Before I open this, can anyone confirm whether its HDMI or component or both?

It supports both, but not at the same time

Yes. Is there a way to have one transferred to my store?

PM sent! Will try to help you! I just have to find the time and fit it into my shopping runs!

One quick note:

I do work full time and am going to school for a Master's degree, so if I don't answer your PM's right away, don't get mad, I will help you!

Luckily right now I haven't had that much work to do, so I have been spending a lot of time on these forums!

So if that Halo edition 360 were to get the 3 Red Lights Of Death, would Microsoft send you back the same console?

yeah, probably but this is just my guess. You know those DS packs out right now with brain age 2? Those are limited runs and Nintendo told me over the phone that they'll just repair it with the same shell. I would bet the Halo 3 360 will be the same way since it is also limited edition.

I was thinking about picking one up the other day, because I dont have a XB360, if I did I wouldnt spend the dough-flow on another console.

Dont know which of yall dopple ganggers will go and pick up one but i just picked my up at my local GameCrazy.
but i read online there not due til the 19th i think so what the hay.
if your planning on getting one go ahead. even if its not worth a dime in 10 years.

Hey, you have just picked Xbox 360 Console (Halo 3 Special Edition) ! How much is it? How does it work?? I am planning to buy one, and the lowest price I find at deal site is $400.Here is the one.

Yeah, pretty much. They would throw new guts in the old case. Doesn't mean i'd trust them with a true limited edition unit though. I'd never send my launch team box into them even though it's been known to red light.

any reports of any DOA units?

also, has anyone heard anything about them making a 120 gig HD sold seperately with the gold? (like the 20 gig HD it comes with)

There won't be a 120 with the gold. Thats all but certain. I've not seen any noises about dead units yet either, but these things are only 5 days old so it might take a little longer for noises to make their way out.

I am returning mine tomorrow. I am happy with the premiun non HDMI I have, the HDMI port on 360 doesnot do shit. what hdmi port are they using v 1.1 or 1.2 ? or 1.3 ?

anyone knows..

I hope you're right, I picked up one the other day but haven't set it up, I am going to tonight, to see just how quiet it is.

I think at some point mine was dropped (part of the box was caved in, and i didn't notice). Still purrs like a kitten though (that's a good thing)

anyone know if this system has any of the goodies, like the 65nm chips, which I thought weren't out yet.?

[segagamer4life]

I had been thinking about getting a 360 for a while, and I had not even heard of the Halo 3 360 and I was in the store the other day and saw it, decision made lol. Works great and looks awesome on my HDTV, a lot better than my Wii. I will admit this is my first time ever owning or playing a xbox for any length of time and I must say Microsoft has a good thing going. All my previous Halo experiences were always on PC. Been playing Oblivion day and night and I must say I could not be happier with my system, as I recall isn't there a 3 year warranty from Microsoft for the red ring of death that comes with the console?
Also can't wait for Halo 3, one more day!

I really wanted to get this model since I actually like the colors (not a big Halo fan or any other FPS for that matter) to be honest. But the 20gb HD and the lack of 65nm just kill the deal for me.

The way it's looking now is if Sony really does pop out a $400 40gb PS3 for the holiday season I'll probably be picking that up with a copy of GT Prologue when I'm in Japan for Christmas.

I have to say I really like the design of the console, it has a military feel to it. I totally HALO's single player campaigns with a passion, they just flat out suck however HALO 2 was the only multi-player games I played online last gen which rocked.

Secondly even if MS puts in 65 nm CPU they are still using the 90nm GPU and that does not mean that the flaws will automatically disappear. MS need to throughly reexamine the motherboard and these problems are going to just disappear right away. I am going to wait and see how it works out. I have already passed on the HALO 3 edition xbox as of yesterday.
