How to select an XBOX 360 games bundle appropriate for your needs
Everyone would like to have an XBOX 360. Choosing the right XBOX 360 games bundle can be a bit of a chore though. Many people are still afraid of the red ring of death. Also affectionately referred to as the “rrod”. However the problems that caused that have been worked out and are being fixed, for the most part.
Choosing a version of the console that won’ have the problems is a little problematic for many consumers. Most versions of the XBOX 360 have been upgraded with newer parts to prevent the rrod but there are still other errors that abound with older models. The E-71, E-74, and the E-79 come to mind. These often indicate a hardware problem and need to be sent to Microsoft for repairs, unless you’re a tech guru and can do it yourself.
Of course since all the newer models don’t have these problems anymore all you have to do is pick one. Make your own decisions and choose the right Xbox 360 games bundles. The first one up for consideration is the game of the year edition. This one is an elite model, meaning it has the black case, and comes with Halo 3, and Fable 2. Most elite’s have the hdmi outputs in the back, and come with 120 gig hard drives.
You can expect to pay about five hundred dollars for it.00 USD, and can be kind of expensive. A less feature-packed bundle is the “arcade” bundle, consisting of the basic XBox 360 with 2 arcade game sets, and without a hard drive or any memory card. Most arcade models have 256 megabytes of internal storage though, so you can save your games, just no updates or music. Most of the time, this bundle sells for $200.00 USD and is the most wallet friendly.
the pro system is now just $300 and middle ground is there00 USD. You won’t usually find any games included with this bundle, but there are other pleasant surprises that are included. Mainly a 60 gig hard drive, wireless controller, headset, and hdmi output. This is a nice bundle for those looking at the middle ground. With all the demos games that are available on the internet you won’t get bored while waiting to buy new games.
The main difference between the versions is the motherboards. The arcade system has all the latest motherboards that don’t eat up as much power. The arcade comes with a wired controller, and no hdmi port. The rrod has been eliminated and there is a 1 year warranty out of the box. Do not forget to register.
In closing finding the right XBOX 360 games bundle for you is something you will have to decide. In addition to the versions of the XBOX 360 above there are still plenty of old models on the market. It is possible that these could have the rrod error. The best way to check is the manufacturer date on the back; if it was made after the start of 2009 you are okay. Now do you want the low end, middle ground, or uber expensive high end bundle?
