We just play differently, you stick to a game till it's finished, I can never settle on one.

ok and say a pessimistic fiver a game you are looking at £60 for the games. do those prices include the extra controllers and remotes?

you are looking at £145 but you will probably get more for the games. You could always get a core which would be cheaper

I said does that include the DVD remotes and stuff and he said, they are next to nothing as they sell them for like £2...

not sure the games would fetch a fiver each.. they are quite old...
And I like the sound of the "normal" one with wireless pad and HDD... convince me otherwise.

ah right my bad, I just saw you'd said consoles alone.

personally i think the premium is the only way to go. the wireless controller is excellent and having the HD is a great thing. Let us know what you decide.

With the cost of a core and hard drive you're pretty much in premium territory anyway, it's definitely more cost effective to go down that route if you can.

Hee hee hee... Got £20 in "capital bonds" redeemable in loads of stores (but not gamestation ) and £36 in WHSmith vouchers... trying to work out a way to get a 360 for as little as possible. Its a shame WHSmith dont seem to sell 360 HDDs as it would mean I could mimic a premium package for very little expense...

That is a shame as WHSmith take capital bonds too.

HMV take them. That would mean finding £50 for the HDD and you could get a game from WHSmith for the £36 (+ a little extra).
