I just got a 360 a couple of weeks ago I'd have saved up for longer and got this version... Next move from Microsoft is a Martin Luther King headset...

I'm gonna hopefully be getting one in a couple of months for t'birthday, gonna be reet t'grand and t'all. I duno why I've come over all Peter Kay...anyway, just the core for me, as I'm sure you all know crystal clear by now, haha! I'll get the HDD add-on later... Anyway, there was an interesting episode of The Gadget Show (the Top Gear of geek tech TV) where they pitted the 3 consoles against a custom spec PC, and the PC won in the end. Of course, the PC is for the hardcore, and I've been PC gaming for many years now, but I've gotten to a stage where I can't upgrade anymore without an expensive upgrade of key components, so to continue my gaming I wanna get a 360 (had nothing but fun on the original Xbox at uni when one of my housemates bought one - and I pwned at Halo 2 death match ). It'll be nice for a change, no hardware worries, just buy a game, slap it in, have a blast about - BOSH, job done...but mark my words Capn et al, I will return to PC gaming, with a monster rig (when I can afford it) and I'll buy a back catalogue of gaming awesomeness and blast my nuts off with hours and hours of back-to-back happy-joy-joy-ness! *sniffs* Right ... now just to wait till t'birthday for t'360 t' have some t'fun...

does anyone know what price they are going to be selling the higher capacity hdd, I might just have to pick that up.

[Danny]

a coupla hundred i should think, the regular one is still pretty expensive pre-owned.

[MinionZombie]

I thought you could get the additional 20gig-or-whatever HDD for £70? I say ... £150 for the new HDD on it's own... Any advances? *does that auctioneer junk*

[Dommm]

Still amazes me in a time when I can pick up a decent 200 gig hdd for my PC at around the £60-80 mark microsoft have to overcharge for theres. but hey I guess I will wait until the price drops a bit.
