    It depends what your young lad wants it for? If he'll be playing online, or not.
    If so, the 4g isn't worth a sh1t. You can get the 250g at gamestop for €186 delivered last time I checked

    It's not available at the min but.......

    Keep your eye on this page.

    I would go more memory over the Kinect. I use Kinect quite a bit but it needs a lot of room (10 feet square I would say) and is usually more suited to family parties than kids games.

    I agree with the poster above, prefer the bigger HD over Kinect. The new xbox is whisper quiet if you install the games from disc (you still need the disc inserted) it also aids loading. But the caveat is that games are 2 to 3 gigs big, because of this a 250gb HD is a must.

    you pretty much need a hd in there, they're pretty limited without it

    i would imagine there will be some more deals out for christmas with the hd and kinect, amazon usually has good deals but game/gamestop do sometimes too

    Find somebody who is working at Tesco, we have privilege card and can buy with 10% staff discount, this save for you 30bucks, for 35-45 eur at ebay you can buy a 250gb hdd and easily upgrade it, just search for a videos at youtube.
    So for cca 310eur you can have xbox with kinect and 250gb hdd.
    I also consider to buy one for my daughter.
    But wait a few days, the Christmas deals coming - pixmania yesterday was 299eur, I checked today and it 269+delivery, however delivery is too much.

    Hi,just to let you know. I got a great deal on an xbox bundle on littlewoods for my son. I got Xbox360 250gb,new version, 2 games and 12 months live membership for 259.99. I was in Gamestop last week,and it was 230 for a preowned 250gb console and 1 preowned game,a total rip off. There are othe deals on the littlewoods site at the moment,might be worth a look. Thats the cheapest I could find anywhere. If you're not a customer of theirs,maybe you know someone who is,my sister got mine for me. Hope this helps.
