    we bought the plan... if you have a problem they switch out the xbox for you, rather than having to send it in for repairs - same with the controllers and other stuff

    if you have a girl you should get her a pink xbox controller, it's fun

    How much does it cost? Walmart has a 2 year extended for the 360 for like 29$ but its mail in.

    I own Xbox360, PS3 does own it. One of the reasons xbox 360 is cheaper is that you don't get anything with it. For instance if you wanna use wireless you gotta buy an $80 adaptor. If you want HD (I'm not sure why anymore) then you have to spend like $150. If you wanna play online you have to buy a membership (xbox live, can't remember how much). With PS3 its already capable of playing bluray, wireless adaptor is included and online gaming is free.

    if you buy the pro xbox you do still have to buy some cable thing, and of course the subscription, and 1 other thing, but it is worth it, much better than ps3

    also, i am not sure what you're talking about on the hd, unless that is if you buy the basic one or something

    do yourself a favor and get the warranty/service plan. about 90% of xboxs go bad, ie. ring of death, overheating, etc. the 30 bucks is well worth it

    TY for the responses. It is $29 for a 2 year warranty, I'm thinking that I should just go with it.

    Get the service plan and register for xbox for sure aswell. The red ring of death is inevitable...
