You'll want to get the new slim 250GB version if you can afford to

Yes, that is the link to the new one (Lokolo)

But, when games and an extra controller (for you!) are added, it can get quite expensive, and not really worth it if your boyfriend has no intention of buying the new camera accessory (hands-free gaming)

I would say get the older one. Big reductions for them now.

Hope I helped!

but arent the newer consoles safer from the 3 red light problem? also they may not buy the thing for hands free gaming now but they may want to in the future for use when they have parties.

The Kinect motion device will work on both old and new Xbox's, so there's no issue there. With the older Xbox another power socket will be required for the Kinect device.

The later of the 'old' style Xbox's should be less prone to the RROD.

Considering the RRP for Kinect is £129 it'd be crazy for MS to try to get you to buy a new Slim 360 too, especially as there's supposedly 40 million (according to MS) older style 360's out there.
