Default I'm finally cracking and I need an XBOX

I have resisted for a LONG time but I have finally caved in. My PS2 just isn't any good any more and I need an XBOX 360.

What are the best deals at the moment?

You'll find loads of bundles for the 360 Elite at the moment for £200. Game.co.uk have one with Call of Duty 4 and GTA4, which is probably the one I'd get. The Elite comes with the large hard drive, wireless controller, headset and HDMI connector/cable (I'm just guessing that you haven't done any research and would need to know these things ).

Edit: Actually, **** that. This is what you need: http://www.zavvi.co.uk/zavvi/1005994...ct?affil=BUYAT
Edit2: Even better! http://www.shopto.net/XBOX%20360/BUN...nnect%204.html

One game you need to get: Forza 2
Reckon that'd be right up your street and you'd love it. Very cheap to buy these days too.

Alternatively, if you just want to get into it and aren't interested in loads of downloadable content etc. (and aren't too fussy about second hand), I've been thinking of trading in my Premium for an Elite for a while and would happily let the console, both wireless controllers, headset, and 2 play and charge kits go for under £100. Maybe a few games too. All in very good condition.

Now games I'm cool with, have tried a lot and know what I like...it's just the actual console purchase I need guidance on

Hmm, liking the black one, would fit in with everything else that's shoved under the telly

Absolutely, plus Forza 3 is only a month or so away so perfect preparation for that

I really really want to play Forza 3 but I can't bring myself to buy an XBox just for that

I noticed Morrisons have cut the price of their remaining 60gb Pro consoles...I think ~ £130

See that's tempting - as far as I can work out the only benefit the Elite gets me over the Pro is a bigger HDD and a black paint job. Is that right?

Might well pop down there and see what they've got....
