    The auntie is ending out to the states next month, and I was wondering:Would it being worth to give her money to get 360?Would properbly be getting Elite or Premium.
    Have a few questions:
    Is there a big price difference than in the uk/ireland?
    Is the Elite worth the extra money?From what I understand its just a bigger hard drive and HDMI ports?I would not be greatly interested in the hard drive as I have no broadband[and not much chance of being able to get any ,any time soon], so xbox live is a no for me and so no real need for all that space[maybe the premium for the 20gb to be safe for games that need the hard drive].The HDMI ports would be useful, as we are ugrading the ol' crt tv to get a hd one in september, but cant you just buy a cable for the premium that allows you to use HDMI?Or is the elite way better picture Quality?
    Can North American 360s play Pal games?If not, is the difference in price[if any ] worth having to buy games off playasia and ebay?

    The premiums in america have hdmi ports now. Just buy games off play asia. Cheaper anyway.

    You seem to forget that ALL games from play-asia will NOT work. Only the region free games.

    The 360 (including the power adaptor) weighs a fair whack.
