[quote name='NoRain']Amazon does tempt me on this.
If only I felt like I could trust the 360 to not rrod on me. Do the new HDMI models still have the problem or should I just hold off and wait for Mass Effect until buying my 360?[/QUOTE]
The HDMI models have an additional heatsink, so they're unlikely to Red Ring on you. Of course, in a couple of months the Falcon-chip 360s are coming out and they should be even more reliable. I suggest getting Prey & the HD DVD with a ton of movies now, while the deals are good, if you decide to wait for the Falcon systems.
Oh, and I ordered 2 copies of Prey. Thanks OP!
