I am about to get XBOX360 I am in NY ... any advice on where to go and what to get ? ... anything I shuld look for ?> (like on original xbox ... like date )

In other words I am looking to play back up games on the system so if possible let me know any advice so I don't spend 500 on something that will not work with current hacks ...

Thanks !

If you get a unit manufactured August 2006 or earlier (there is a flap on top of the box through which you can see the manufacture information), then you can be pretty sure to get a Samsung, which (IMHO) is a more forgiving unit to flash than the newer Hitachi's.

Most places here in the UK you don't get to see the Box before you buy so you sort of get what your given so to speak.

Yea I would have to agree with vinomarky. From what I've seen the samsungs are easier to flash b/c you dont have to worry about getting the hitachi into mode b. Look at is this way, you may as well get one now because its only going to get worse as time goes by.
