    well id say your best bet is getting the new 250gb xbox. this is around €250. if he has been talking about kinect ( new cool xbox thing ) it'l be around €350 for both. there is also a 4gb version which is 170 in harvey norman atm but i wouldnt recommend it. hope this helps

    Yeah definitely go for the 250gb, the 4gb is cheaper but its just not enough space!

    Yeah and the kinect is actually a good laugh aswell, I was expecting it to be fillied with faults but they seem to have done a great job with it. But defo the 250gb slim if he would play alot of games. 4gb can get filled up quite quickly.

    Best bang for buck value I've seen on a 250GB without kinect was actually in Xtravision. €250 for the console and a free game from a choice of five, I believe. They're five of the best and most recent games out including the new Need For Speed. Sorry I don't remember the rest Rachel, because NFS was the only one I don't own already. Hope that helps.

    Feck Kinect. If I were you, I'd go after the new 250GB console. It looks like this:

    Kinect is just like a tacky Wii add-on, so I'd put that extra €50 towards a proper game. Most shops should have a deal for a 250GB console and a new game, like Halo: Reach, COD: Black Ops or Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood
