$100 is a rip off you can get hdmi cables and boxes dirt cheap online and its not that bad i mean the cable I got one for my ps3 for about $7 but 10 w/ shipping and it just burnt out but it lasted a good 9 months but i am really in need of a new cable now cause SD is not cuttin it at all.

Wow, what a coincidence. My 360 stopped reading disks, and I went for the Halo edition as well. I do believe mine has the falcon chip in it. Let me warn you though, not all of the halo editions have it. Usually, you have the best chance if the Lot # on the system is 734.

It was funny though because I was looking at all the 360’s to find the newest lot #, then some guy came and questioned me saying “you need any help there?”. Heh

@Wolfe1027 - I will give it tha, it does have the Hdmi output but unfortunately I ran out of Hdmi slots so it stays as component, lol

That is really nice. The best buy in my area refuses to replace any 360 with the three red rings. They direct you to microsoft. If someone argued with them about it I don’t know what they would do. But, I have seen signs saying that is store policy now.

Taz one thing also is that the Halo edition has an HDMI output.

That has gotta count for something

@Tha Doc - Not really sure how much it will go for, it is the special edition 20 GB Halo one if that makes any difference to you. Retails for $95, but I will take any fair offers. Just hit me up.

what do you want for the HDD? I may go get the acrade system soon and will likely need one. then again, it doesn’t even come with component cables w/ optical audio out or HDMI so might aswell go pro. It’d cost me near $350 total just to buy seperate cable for the arcade. I dunno tho.

@Rhomp - agreed, the games main innovation is the bubble shield and power drain items, other than that it is pretty much the same. The main thing i like about the system is that the internal chip set is updated, other than that the colors and style really dont impress me much.

yea i hate that system i think that it looks horribile and is really just a scam to made halo seem so important that it needs its own system. really the game is good but the graphics are very similar to the old game (you can only look at the Master Chief for so long) and the game play is similar. yes it has the best online multiplayer but it brings no real game play innovations. The game does not need a system.
