I've already seen the Boots deal

Need to wait though :/

DD is 400 points. I'm logged into MSN on my 360 but oddly I can't see my other account online from the 360. I can see others on my userlist but not my other MSN account. From MSN I can send my 360 a message but nothing happens. Its a little odd.

I'd prefer to get a Premium pack but do I really NEED the stuff that comes with it or could I get by with a Core and just add stuff as I go?

Apparently, until they release the keyboard adapter, the black box will only appear if you have a USB keyboard plugged in. If not, then your guide button should flash when an IM is received, and you have to bring out the guide itself to view/reply.

Windows key + M to bring up the overlay from a keyboard.

I started with a core Des, and it's fine. The only thing that's a necessity is a hard drive, with that you'll be able to play games, download content, and save your progress. You can add in the wireless gumph (it is worth it, but you dont need it to actually play a game) and hi-def/vga cables when you're ready.

Trouble is, you need to find a cheap hard drive on ebay to make it worth it. though I imagine ebay US is full of 20GB ones as they have the 120 now.

Just echoing Daz's you'd be fine with a core for the time being. All the other stuff you can add as you go along

There are a few hard drives on ebay and the seem to sell for over £40 which isn't too bad. There are a few BIN ones which look ok.
