X Box help please?

mosaicwendy

I asked him if he would really like a PS3 instead, as he already has a PS2 and he said not - is the PS3 better?

Now I know I'm really going to get confused lol....

it all depends on what you want it for.

im guessing that most of his friends have an xbox seeing as it came out earlier than the ps3

edit: also only the original hard to find 60gb ps3's play ps2 games as sony removed the backwards compatability from the recent ps3s

yes I think they have - also, the X Box is cheaper :-)

Thank you for your help - I feel a bit clearer about it now. I think if I went for the Arcade version it wouldn't have enough memory. I just need to shop around a bit to see where I can get the best deal.

Thanks again, Wendy

Also do you what kind of games your son would like, yes if your sone wants to play online against other people then theres 2 things you would need a 12 month subscription and a wireless adapter(only need 1 of these if the router is too far away to use an ethernet cable), any questions about the xbox LIVE service i can try and help best i can

this is the wireless adapter and it comes with a 12 month subscription for £67.53, you could expect to pay say £5-0 for the adapter and a minimum of £25 or a maximum of £40 for the 12 month subscription so its a good deal

Just looked at Amazon and they have a 360 Premium for £166 and if you buy it with a wireless entertainment pack you get it for £20 and a selected game for £10.00

Is this a good deal do you think?

yes you could buy the wireless entertainment pack but id make sure the 2 games that come with it would be something your son would play

Two days ago I bought a xbox 360 arcade from woolies which came with an entertainment pack which had a wireless controller and indiana jones game and Kung fu panda for £117. I used the voucher that gave you 10% off which has expired now but you could get a good deal if your lucky because they are selling everything with up to 50% today
