I'm thinking of selling my pc to help fund for an Xbox 360. Should i go for it? Recently i've been scared by people complaining of the 3 red light thing. I'm prepared to sell the pc and save up for a ps3 if that's the case.
Does the 360 Elite sort the red light problem currently causing problems?

Its covered for 3 years for 3 red lights anyway mate so won't cost you anything. Personally I think its a good bit of kit, even though mine broke a couple of months back its still a good machine.
Don't know if the Elite has been modified in anyway to help prevent the red light issues.

if your buying brand new spend the extra 20 quid over the original 360 prem price and get the elite, slightly different to solve the red light issues but so are all 360s that are produced now.
ps3 is always an option but you need abit of faith that as many game developers are willing to invest more making games on blu ray

if you sold a pc, then you wouldn't have internet explorer, downloadable films, games, programs and all the other illegal pc stuff you get.
