    Oh thanks for that! He is well into Formula One, so would enjoy the racing games I think. I may just go for the X box then, which one though, the 250 or the 4 gig? I am such a blonde when it comes to things like this. And he is in his 50's and he likes keep fit things as well, so any suggestions for games would be welcomed too!
    :hello: :wave: please play nicely children !

    if you can afford it go for the 250gb 1, the 4gb is fine but it would mean buying a hard drive and you connect that up yourself,

    buying the 250gb 1 will mean he shouldnt worry about hard drive for a some time

    if you dont have an 8ft room then no dont get the kinect, you need the space for it, but you can get it on its own if you were to say move house and you find the living room is bigger

    if the console has a wireless controller which i think it will do, how is it powered ? it could be powered by a battery back which comes with the kit, if not 1 included then you need batteries or get a battery pack

    i would look but im going out now,

    OP just thought, if he will want to go online with the xbox then he would require a subscription (known as gold sub, gold pre paid card) like this from the hut or this

    just checked amazon and it contains a wireless controller which uses AA batteries, i have 1 of these

    and it charges the battery pack when not in use so when i come to play the pack is charged
