I had been trying to help my neighbor’s kid to solve the problem why his XBox 360 system did not allow him to play any of his XBox 360 video games the whole morning.

Every time he entered one of them, it read ‘Unplayable Disc’. I did a check for him, but I didn’t locate any major scratches on them or anything really damaging.

I also tried cleaning it out with a can of compressed air, but to no avail.

So in the end, I told him to send it for repair or get a new Xbox.

I got my Xbox 360 Console Includes 20GB Hard Drive (With HDMI)360 a couple of weeks ago. I was really scared to get one, reading about all the problems they seem to have.

It’s great. Microsoft seems to have fixed the some of the problems that plagued the earlier versions.

The system gets lightly warm, not hot even after hours of playing. Quiet DVD drive. No problems at all.

Don’t let the other reviews scare you from getting one Xbox 360 Console Includes 20GB Hard Drive (With HDMI). A lot of these reviews are for the earlier version of the 360 without HDMI.

The newer versions with HDMI (Xbox 360 Console Includes 20GB Hard Drive (With HDMI) made after August) have much better reliability. A ton of good games available too.
