I am on my third Xbox 360 and this one actually runs good. The first two were the early models that had all of the problems and this one seems to work just fine. As far as games and what not I have not touched one for over a year. I used to play Madden and some other stuff, but nowadays it just gets used for a dvd player. I am getting a blu ray player for Xmas so shoot me a PM if you want a Xbox for cheap
