Get a 360. No point limiting yourselves to 1 console.

I agree. Although by a funny querk I actually have 2 Ps3's set up in the house.... 360's are cheap.

Are there dif types? Is there a better one to get?

[irish-sid]

might get one. i'll see if i can pick one up on the cheap in england.

LBP - I predicted as much - it was great in that it was different. But you have to want to play a game, not just look at it.

Ps sid, our we still going to the pub?

yeah, it's crap.

The Xbox 360 Core system is the cheapest of the three, costing e150. The reason its cheaper is it comes with a wired controller, does NOT come with a harddrive valued at $100, (although you CAN buy a hard-drive separate and use it like normal). The core is your basic system nothing special about it except the price.

The Xbox 360 premium system e200 comes with a wireless controller, a 20GB hard-drive and HD-cables. The disk tray is chrome giving it a better look in my opinion. If an extra $100 isnt a problem I suggest this one for sure. (the hard-drive comes in handy when storing game data)

The third and final system is the Xbox 360 Elite at e270 it is the ultimate system and in my opinion the better bargain for your buck. The whole thing is painted black unlike the other two, it has a larger hard-drive capacity 120GB which is an extra 100! more then the premium, comes with wireless controler the hd-cables and has an HDMI port on the back for high-def gaming. For only e50 more then the premium you get the HDMI port and an extra 100!! GB's of memory.

i may get the premium. i will literally only use it for gaming. i use my ps3 as a multimedia system.

[me_so_horny]

Premium models have HDMI ports now.

[irish-sid]
