It's naturally up to you and your desire to play the games now or satisfaction with waiting 'till later. My contention is that difference between the two will be so slim it's not really worth waiting.
You know, the whole thing is really kind of comedic when I think about it. . .
People tend to really trash their stuff. I've handled thousands of trades over the years, and perhaps only 5% of it is in the kind of condition I'd want to see my own belongings in. I can't count anymore the number of times I've heard some schmoe tell me his stuff is in "great condition" to try and cajole more money out of me, when in fact I would never let it see the inside of my own house. I can almost guarantee that the vast majority of the people complaining about their 360 dying have not taken care of it as well as they claim.
Given this, it's absurd to watch people get all pissy when the thing doesn't turn out to be as reliable as the SNES that kept working after it had soda spilled on it. I mean, it's not like the current gen systems have
that many more tiny, delicate moving components. . . oh wait.
At any rate, I think Microsoft is doing an admirable job of dealing with the problems that have arisen. The warranty was just extended to three years, which is pretty killer. The PS2 had a terribly high failure rate during the first year, and Sony pretty much told people to get bent.
