    Used to play alot of games in my younger days, in 30's now and looking at an

    Xbox 360 for online gaming. I don't want to play music store or download

    videos etc. just basic gaming, money is tight so any advice on what I need to

    get would be greatly appreciated, I'll be looking at ebay etc. for 2nd hand

    systems, sorry for my lack of knowledge but I am clueless with the Xbox

    Thanks :)

    You should be able to get a 120Gb and Wifi adapter for pretty cheap second hand

    The only xboxes below 120g are the 20g and 60g. Both are very old and probably not a good idea to buy now. There is also a brand new 4g model which could be picked up second hand pretty cheaply. They are 150 new. Check adverts.ie as I have seen these models plus 2 games for 140-150 recently.

    be careful with the 4gb models...lots of online games had problems with this version due to the size of the hard drive...think it's flash memory as well so games like Gears Of War 3 etc had problems and needed to be patched before playing online..
