the only thing id be worried about is condensation inside of it. the cold itself probably wont do any damage. but if you use it and it gets warm and then cools off and you end up with condensation inside, thats not good.

Once you setup a 360, if you move it...  RED RING OF DEATH!!!!!!

On a serious note though, I wouldn't take it outside.  Or, if you did, don't leave it out there.


AND, Microsoft STILL hasn't fixed the Red Ring of Death yet?  How many years has the 360 been out now?

My buddy just had it happen to him again for the third time.  He may just have bad luck with this shit but idk.  You go to Gamespot and check their forums there are people still having problems with it popping up.  Not as frequent anymore but it is still happening.

also no games, worse graphics (on some games), worse online play, and the tiniest controller ever.

No games is debatable.  We get Uncharted, Metal Gear Solid, and the GTA series started on the last gen (stfu about the Xbox only add ons).  The graphics issue is barely noticeable unless you are looking for it.  Onine PLAY is the same, the set up is completely different and shitty (BUT FREE!!!!!), and I am not a fan of how bulky the 360 controller feels cause, I have small hands.

Plus I have a gigantic movie collection and love BluRay.  Oh yeah, we get demos really fast and shit and the PSN store, for me at least, feels far easier to navigate.

yea but i wasnt about to pay 600$ for a ps3 fuck that.

my buddies try and tell me how much better ps3 is...when i cannot stand their controllers, and couldnt care less about blu ray...not to mention it seems to lag just as much as xbox does

ring of death, or no ring of death. xbox 360 FTW.

(knock on wood...cause if i get ring of death before i have 7 days of online time with MWF2 im gonna kill somone)

I'll be honest, I had to earn it from my parents.  Basically, I had to get a couple 4.0s and still pay for half of it.
