xbox 360 advice needed please....
 

just considering buying an xbox 360 "arcade" version i.e. no hard drive built in. Is it right that if i wanted to upgrade later I could add a hard drive? and can it be any hard drive or a "xbox hard drive"?
anyone got one of these "arcade" versions and what do they think?

sorry for the basic questions but haven't had a console since my sega Megadrive!!

thanks

may aswell just get a premium it works out more to buy arcade then the hard drive than to buy the premium with everything with it.

ok cheers, thanks for quick reply.

no problem bud i did it by buying the arcade then i bought the hard drive and then the headset and it worked out more than the premium might aswell not have bothered plus it can be a pig to find the hard drives and headset's.

they good systems though right? seen one on Marks and Spencer website and included a 2 year guarantee which i thought was pretty good.

thyre the best console for games but they have a horrible tendancy for going wrong but so do ps3's.

Re: xbox 360 advice needed please....
 

yeah thats why i thought the 2 year guarantee was good. do you use the hdmi and high def TV?

Re: xbox 360 advice needed please....
 

dont think the arcade has hdmi you may have to get an elite for that premium possibly has it check the box.

Re: xbox 360 advice needed please....
 

yeah but i use a hdtv and it looks very good.

Just use the component cables. The quality is just as good.


As for them breaking - just make sure there is lots of airspace around the machine
