Hi,

This may sound odd but we've inherited an Xbox and Kinect. Have never used XBox before and know nothing about them. Is there a way to tell which sort it is and if it has a hard drive etc.

We're not gamers but could we use it as a media player to download and play BBC iPlayer etc? We don't have a broadband though, we use tethering from a mobile phone for internet connection - would it work with this? Or would we be better off selling this and buying just an ordinary media player like the Western Digital

Clueless really - so any general hints and tips much appreciated! Many thx in advance.

doesnt matter what you use
that tethered connection will be the weak link

If it is black with wifi built in then the hard drive will be kind of internal (accessed through the side grille) rather than the older ones that have a visible drive on the side & show the storage amount..

so in short best way of checking storage is via the control panel \ settings looking at storage..

Yes of course, sounds like its a new xbox.

Thanks.
