    Hi there,
    I recently worked my ass off to get money for a 360 prior to the release of GTAIV.
    I want an all rounder because while GTA is the game I want it for I will also be getting GRAW/GRAW2, COD and lots others.
    I will be getting XBox Live.

    I want to spend as little as possible for as much as Possible. So which is the best Value for money?

    Arcade or Premium or if there is another that is less than €300?

    It obviously needs a hard drive and a single controller will do me for now!
    Thanks
    Gavin.

    PS Sorry for bad grammar/spelling used here I am very tired.

    Arcade doesn't have a hard drive, so get a premium.

    What he said.

    The Arcade version is a false economy. You'll need the hard drive soon enough.

    Keep saving, you'll soon realise that you'll need a 32" HDTV too!!
    Only had xbox 360 about 5 weeks before I HAD to get one...

    You're better off buying a new one really, would suck to get stuck with a pre-falcon core model that could go RROD at any time.

    Anyone know the best deal going right now for an elite console? I currently have a premium on extended loan from my brother and I feel he may be looking for it back come tuesday. If its true you can install GTA4 id like to get the elite to have a bit more space left after the install. I'm looking around ebay and some look good until you stick postage on top. Anyone know the latest prices in places like gamestop/xtra vision etc?

    Thanks

    Oh and you dont need to spend a crapload buying a hdtv to experience HD. If you have a monitor (better yet a widescreen monitor) just buy a vga cable for 20 quid. Savage
