I have been given enough money to buy a new XBox by various family members. Should I get it?
I heard its suppose to be way better.
Also mine is kinda slowly crapping out.

truths - it has built in wifi. it's quieter. it is far less likely to die. it does not get RRoD. it has a dedicated Kinect port. it has an available 320 GB HDD which is why I want one... my 250 is 100% full. it has more family safety options.
mistruths - it has better graphics. it has a dedicated pie oven. it plays games better. it looks better. (models may vary) it releases calming endorphins. it breaths methane and carbon and releases oxygen. it's resistant to dust and pet hair. it's got chocolate inside it. it's thinking. (Dreamcast did though) it loads faster. it has a cheese dispenser. it has an auto-teabag function. it has an auto-STFU n00b function. it has a magic use of +4 mana.

less loudly... but it plays them equally. it's the same innards other than the basic techs.

if you want games to play less laggy and load less, install them. that will work on either console.

really, all their feedback indicates more people use it to use youtube and facebook than netflix but more people use it to play netflix than games.
I keep up on this stuff... and I have 2 accounts on their survey panels... (really one is edie's but they don't know I moved in with her) I see the results next to mine... mine are almost always in the minority...
and for the record, installing a game, has everything to do with playing it >_< it's microsoft, it's like a computer.... also, you do know it plays DVDs right?
cuz lots of people don't...
also, it plays .avi file movies if you download the optional media update... it also streams things from your PC including movies, music and pictures.

it's why I pirate shit... I watch everything I pirate (sans mkv and mp4 files) on my TV via the xbox... mpegs and surprisingly wmvs are hit and miss... and a lot of my other more dubious internet friends use that function for porn.
