Buying an XBox 360 - Advice please.

cw1984 · 9th October 2008, 19:09

Probably going to go for the 20GB one if possible because for what i need it for the 60GB system is unnecessary.

I've tried the obvious places (game, amazon, play) are there any good online stores that you guys know of?

Thanks.

www.gamestation.co.uk do the best bundles as far as Im concerned.

Do they even have the 20GB one? I thought it was replaced by the 60?

RedDevil#26655 · 9th October 2008, 19:12

Erm, 20GB and 60GB are exactly the same bar the HDD space...same price too, plus the 20GB has been discontinued

RedKaos · 9th October 2008, 19:14

Just remembered that the 20Gb is discontinued, so you can only get em second-hand or on ebay.

A 60Gb 360 with Halo 3 and Mass Effect is going for £170 on gamestation though if you're interested.

Thats not a 360, thats a Playstation 3 - manufactured by Microsoft's rival, Sony. And if he's looking for nothing more than a 20GB console, im assuming he wont be content in splashing out £300.

Ye, put £300 instead of £299.99 to make it look more expensive than it actually is.

Thing is though i'm on a bit of a budget so im just after the console and Fifa.

How about the Arcade version of the xbox?

Well if it's only FIFA you want for now then the cheapest offer I can think of is GAME's 60Gb FIFA 09 bundle for £180.

Sooner or later you WILL buy a Harddrive, take it from me. Its best to buy it now with the console since it'll be cheaper in the long run, and trust me you want to play online. So I wouldnt bother with the arcade.
