How easy is this? I found an arcade bundle (I'm pretty sure console is included, but description is lacking) For $79 and a 20gb hdd for $34.

Uber noob, signing off.

No. Non-HDMI is the most red-ring prone machine on the market. That won't last more than 2 months, tops.

Only a matter of time*. There's hardware and physical manufacturing defects on those machines. There's no escaping it. When it happens, it occurs multiple times until you tap out and buy a new machine.

*This holds true for all machines not tagged 150w on the power brick.

We need an official "Cheer Up Drew" Day. He's been so sad lately.
I miss his complete and utter lack of control to group teabag the opposing team and enjoy himself.

So if we have to play H3 tonight to get him going, we will do it.
Drew. This day is for you, friend. :cheers:
