ya, well at least the arcade disc comes with 1 month free of live and I guess microsoft is handing out 1 month of live free with the console repair so whats that.. like $12 bucks for my trouble?

Also, I just read that they make you put that arcade disc in the dvd drive to play the arcade games... I was hoping that you could just install them onto the hard drive from the disc... That is kind of crappy but hey... beggars can't be choosers right?

Maybe I will luck out and they will send my an HDMI xbox in return. I bet they have a hole mountain of non-hdmi boxes that they are trying to solder back together just for me. I will just continue the endless cycle of sending in consoles just to get another defective unit that will break in 6 months.


about the elite: maybe with the premium version getting the hdmi there is not much demand for the elite. The bigger hard drive is nice but not really needed unless you download tv shows and movies, or a lot of game demo's at a time.
