    Well if he will be going online alot, which he may do, then he should get a Premium, for about €200, there are a number of places to get them.

    Surprisingly Dunnes Stores sometimes does them cheap, as does Tesco.

    If you shop around, you will be surprised what you may find :)

    The new premiums and possibly arcades come with HDMI connectivity aswell (it says HDMI on the box), although the premium doesnt come with a hdmi cable it does with a component one, also elite has 120gb hard disk and premium 20gb,

    I'm also thinking of getting one, Xtra Vision have the premium (at least, I assume it's the premium) with GTAIV and Halo 3 for 299, I doubt that could be beat anywhere? Both, incidentally, the two games I'd be buying the console for...don't care for hdmi really, component is fine. Even if I got a cheap arcade (no hd) and bought those games separately it'd still come to 300...
