If I invest into an xbox 360 what is the chance of getting the "red circle of death". What can I do to prevent so?
Also, is Wii a good investment even if I don't count the graphics quality?

Well, hardware failure is something that can't be foretold for electronic equipments.

And for Wii, I don't recommend buying it if you need more than a pretty sugar coated mario infested world. And if you're serious, you'll definitely need more than that.

PS 2 is a age old machine for playing games with almost no bling-blings. Get a newer product or wait for the next refresh coming from Sony/Microsoft/Nintendo or Apple. ;-)

The only model of XBox 360 available in India, the Arcade is prone to the infamous RROD. The options are waiting for the new XBox to arrive or buying a PC/PS3. Wii is not enjoyable at all if ytou are looking for some serious gaming. The PS2 will be officially stopped at the end of this year. Go figure. :)
