    I don't know much about xboxs just that I played my mates the other date and I'm gonna buy one now, I was gonna buy a ps3 but my friends theres not much point as its more expensive and the online isn't as good.

    so Should i buy an xbox or ps3?

    and if I buy an xbox what is the difference between the white one and the black one?

    Thanks!

    black is the elite, have abigger harddrive, i prefer xbox over ps3, but thats just me, if you have money i would go with the elite, im thinking of upgrading to elite myself

    Yeah just did a bit of research der on the net, it seems the arcade only has 256mb and the elite has 120gb!! If I'm right I don't think 256mb would be enough and that you would have to buy a hard drive or a memorey card.

    if you are going to be playing it a lot i would get the elite

    I think I will be playing it quite a bit and I'm considering getting xbox live.

    anybody have any experience with xbox live?

    Also it will be hella noisy if you have dont have a hard drive to install games on, playing from disc is still louder than is acceptable even on new models :mad:
    plus it speeds up load times.

    OP, get the elite, you should be able to get a god deal on one if you're patient and look around

    The 256mb memory card in the arcade is useless in the long run, you really need a hard drive to do anything interesting with the 360, whats more you get the hdmi cable with the elite which is handy:)

    Since the pro model is gone, I think the only way to go is the elite.
    Xbox Live is well worth the money imo. When you think about it its less than a euro a week. Tip: Buying xbox live on the internet will save you alot from what i've seen around.
