You can use USB memory sticks to add extra storage as a temporary measure if you went for the 4GB Slim version. The 360 recognises up to 16GB on a stick and I think you can use 2 sticks. You could always buy an official hard disc at a later date.

As for the older 360's not being Kinect compatible, ignore whoever told you that. All 360's are compatible with Kinect, though the older 512K Arcade models need more memory for the Dashboard updates. The only real difference is that you need another socket for the Kinects power adapter with the older 360's. The newer slim models provide power for the Kinect direct.

Yes it is tricky one some ppl consider the 360 to be a cheaper alternative to ps3 but that really is not the case, 360 set up is costly
