Finally decided to game with something other then my mac. Going to buy a 360. I want it cheap but not unreliable. Where, What, When should I buy?

The average demo ranges from 500mb-2gb. 4gb is not enough, unless you plan on playing one game at a time and don't plan to use it on the Internet.

Here is a 250GB brand new Xbox 360 (the new model) S for $250. Use Bill Me Later to get $25 off.

You can then use it as a media centre.

Well, I have an arcade and except for the Hard Disk, I don't feel like there's anything really lacking. I don't even buy DLC or XBLA games of any sort. And in fact I didn't start playing online until about 3 months ago. Basically what I'm saying is that my 360 is very, very barebones.

And I love it.

If you choose your games intelligently, it'll be the greatest thing you will have ever owned. These are the games I've played and it has been amazing.

GTA:IV.

Red Dead Redemption.

L.A. Noire.

CoD 4 and Modern Warfare 2.

Gears 1, 2 and 3.

Halo: Reach (I don't quite recommend Halo 3 because while the multiplayer is awesome, the single player doesn't quite satisfy unless you play on Heroic and are a big Halo fan.)

Just Cause 2.

I bought these games and I've loved every moment of them. A whole new world of amazing games awaits you. Have fun.

get the 4GB, new. it is $200, and there have been some deals recently in the $175-$187 range. You can always add the hard drive later, and it will cost less than the $100 premium Microsoft charges for the 250GB (soon to be the 320GB) console.

In the meantime, you can use up to two USB flash drives at the same time for extra storage. the max is 16GB each, so you could theoretically get 32GB of extra storage if you buy two flash drives with a large enough capacity to host the 16GB-worth of Xbox 360 files (for all practical purposes they would have to be two 32GB drives to get the maximum).

Just pick up a second hand original 360 but make sure it is the latest model you can tell by looking at the amp rating on the back. I believe that 11.1a signifies the latest version. I have recently got one and I couldn't be happier, it's really quiet and saved me a fortune, and it still came with 12 mth warranty!
