[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] clever1 I'm really pissed off because I'm only sixteen and you should know how hard it is to earn enough money for the 360 games and pay for the 360 console itself. I worked my ass off for the x-box 360 and payed 600 for it then i worked my ass off more for -blam!- games that i finish in hardly any hours, then my x-box 360 starts mucking up on me and the disk tray stuffs up and won't come out so i have to get it fixed. then i find out it has been lost in the mail then a month later its been found and sent back too me. after a couple weeks the disk tray stuffs up again and i find the cause of its problem which is: by me standing my x-box up the disk reader (laser) stuffs up meaning the disk tray won't come out so i sit it down and the problem fixed. Then in all that time it has also on games such as oblivion and so on it freezes just like a computer and a noise sometimes happens in the 360 which seems like its scratching the disk. So then i hear about the elite 360 and really want it but it will cost nearly as much as the normal 360 and i have registration to worry about (got my learners ) so i really feel betrayed by Microsoft for making game consoles now to much like computers and needing all these updates which cost money of which i work my ass off for and yet seem to get not much back . So when i hear that halo3 will only play the higher standee on the "elite" 360 it means that i have to yet work my butt of again for maybe which once i finish will there be another update or new console after 12 months. It is more the so harder with these workers agreement contracts in Australia which make it so some like me can by law only get 8 dollars an hour until I'm 18 then until I'm 21 i cant earn more then 11 dollars an hour so i work really hard for stuff that ends up getting outdated real quick such as the 360. I'm just wondering why bungie should even be considering making halo3 better on the elite 360 which i think in Australia isn't even out now when in truth this upgrade is a betrayal to us who got the normal 360 first up and were told it was next gen which is what the elite360 is now. Any how this halo3 update is still cool and good job bungie on doing the new halo2 maps even though there were some flaws. If you dont like what i wrote then don't reply. [/quote] welcome to the real world dude, i dont' want to sound like an a$$ but you might as well stop your cryin, because its only going to get worse. if i was you, i would be gettin my 360 fixed before i went out and buy a new one that you really don't need, your 360 will play H3 just as good as the elite will.
