So whats the difference between the (three?) of them?

I've got it into my head that i would like santa to bring me one of the black elite versions of said console.....

I hope he does get me one, cos my wife isnt going to....she apparently thinks a thirty six year old father of two should have stopped with the whole video game thing a long time ago...pah!!

Bandage, im with you on this.

Now i'm well into footy manager, addicted, love it.

So over the years, i sold my ps2, and am no longer in the loop when it comes to ps2/3, xbox, wii etc.

Sad for a 24 year old i know.

I am also wanting a console for christmas, so i can play play pro evo and possibly after trying it fifa.

So whats the best get all the experts out there?

Aint the x-box's only like £129 squids at the moment?

The X-Box Arcades are £129 at the minute, Yeah! Problem with them is theres no hard disk and they dont allow wireless pads(I believe)

For an extra £20 you can get the Premium which comes with a hard disk and wireless support!
I personally wouldnt go for the Elite, Because of the difference in price and the fact that you can play HD Games with any X-Box as long as you have the relevant adaptors to be able to do so!

If you dont plan on playing on Xbox Live and arent too bothered about wireless pads, Get your hands on the £129 X-Box!

Arcades allow wireless pads, just come with a wired one.

i think if you get the arcade and want to play online you have to get a wireless adapter (£50) and an xbox live sub (£40 a year)

Not had my xbox for a while since I got a PS3 mind so might be worth double checking

You only need a wireless adaptor if your not near the xbox360 itself otherwise plug the ethernet cable directly into your modem or router if you use one that is! an xbox wireless adaptor isnt any good unless you have a wireless routet anyway!

xbox live is £4.99 a month which isnt bad if u ask me, considering its so much better than playing the computer!
