thinking of getting an xbox

[DirtyEddie]

thought i would treat myself - i deserve it after all.

anyway whats the deal with there being 4gb and 250gb versions? obviously im a bit tight so i dont want to be spending extra money when theres no need. will i regret only getting the 4gb one? not planning on downloading films or games onto it so i presume the hdd will only be used for saved games? do they take up a lot of room?

No need for the big hard drive mate you will never use it. Go for the cheap one.

Game save files take up little room but as you get more into it you may want to download added game content such as map packs for Call of Duty and such. Forza 3 for example comes with an added content disc that alone takes about 3-4gb when installed.

I have a 20gb one, but even though it states that size you only get about 13gb to use, but it's more than enough for a few games added content and probably over 100 game saves on it now.

True, have a look on shopto.net mate they have some good deals normally and one of the cheapest around.

I'd get a PS3 instead mate. Foolishly I didn't look into the ins and outs of the Xbox and presumed that just like the PS3, it would be wireless enabled. Nope. Its cost the best part of £80 to get it online, (its my lads, not mine, I have a PS3). The whole reason I bought it him rather than a PS3 was because it was cheaper, but with the extra cost for the wireless, i've probably not saved much at all. Plus the PS3 plays Blu-Rays.

In my opinion, Xbox's are shite.

New 360s have built in Wifi so no need for network adapter and can get good deals on Xbox live on AV Forums.Kinect looks like a new way of gaming (voice recognition,notices you when you walk in the room etc).Both good machines but 360 shades it for me.Just my opinion.

I'd have Move over Kinect for the time being.
