xbox 360 which one to get?

Hi

Basically I have fancied one for a while and decided to get one. I have an original xbox to use with xbmc which I use all the time although I have never played a game on it.

If I got the 250gb 360 with wifi and usb ports could I plug my external hdd into it and be able to play films etc that are on it or would I have to do an xbmc type thing and do it that way?

Also do any of the cheaper ones have this capability (usb not wifi)?

Thanks in advance

Get the new 250GB one. As well as having the wifi built in, it is also a completely different design of board and chips and thus solves all the overheating problems of the first gen. Yes you can plug a HDD in and play media from it.

I got the new light one in August possible July for just over £200 with 6 games from Argos

It comes with wireless n adaptor builtin, its not very noisy at all and uses less energy I believe then older model you need a hdmi cable if you have a modern tv, which is a couple of notes at most on ebay
