is that a good deal? seems like one to me, but i wouldnt know.

What's mostly stopping me from getting an xbox is the rrod. but an elite doesnt seem all that necesary for me.

will 20 gigs be enough for casual gaming? Mainly getting it for NHL and maybe a few shooters. Probably won't be using it for online. If I do ,it wont be very often.

For all that is skeptical of the RRoD, here's a quick bit of information that might ease your mind.

Since the launch of the 360, Microsoft have been upgrading their motherboards that have helped reduce chances of the RRoD.

THe launch console used a motherboard named Xenon.

Later on it was replaced by another named Zephyr.

Last August it was replaced by the most current motherboard, Falcon.

To put it short, the Falcon motherboard is a 65nm chip rather than the 90nm chips the Xenon and Zephyr models are, which allows it to run cooler and uses less electricity to produce the same amount of power as the X and Z chips.

As far as I know, most Falcon models have no problems with the RRoD - I for one have one and after 5 months of heavy use, it hasn't RRoD yet. My friend's Zephyr model RRoD in about the same time.

To me, I believe the chances of getting an RRoD on the latest Xbox360 is quite slim - if you take care to put it in a well ventilated area and take some optional precautions then it'd be a stroke of luck to be hit with the RRoD.
