I'm getting close to getting the game with the NBA live 07 coming out.
I have been reading a lot of problems with freeing and overheating.

my questions are:

- how often does the console freee or have problems?
- how long do you guys play consecutively?
- I'm in Europe, does this mean i will get a later build or version of the xbox that is more problem prone?
- if i just want to play one to 3 games. Can i just back them up on my xbox HD and not need the discs? How much HD will 3 games take?
- i dont have a router. just a modem here. Is it just plu-in, configure and paly online? or do i need anything else except a livecard?

thanks in advance

Freezing and over heating are pretty rare now. I don't really have any issues it with. Mine froze on me twice in 3 months. I probably play for 2-3 hours a day on average. There are days that I don't play at all and days when I can easly clock in 8 hours of play time. All my other consoles and handhelds get little attention when I focus on 360 and I have 14 different ones. You can just plug the 360 directly into you modem if you want. You cann't put games beside demos or arcade games on the hard drive. Even if you could put regular games it only gives you 12 or 13 GB of free space. 360 games close to 8GBs.

NP. I had to edit my post to correct the horridly confusing typos. The bottom line though is Xbox 360 is a solid purcahse IMO.

I bought the xbox 360 a week ago and I don't regret it. I got sick of waiting for the PS 3 to come out, another delay too many. I am now hooked on the xbox 360 and the games are great. You really have to get one. I only had a game feeze once and I think it was the game itself. The console does blow out alot of heat, but it is a powerful machine. The power adapter got a little hot, I bought a desk fan and aimed it at the front of the xbox 360 and the adapter, now all is cool even after playing for 6 hours solid. The xbox 360 is truly a work of art the graphics are really the best I have seen on any game console and the sound is tip top. Once you buy this console you will forget all about the Playstation 3, I have.
