X Box 360 - where to start? What GB? monthly rates? Where to buy from? Any help much appreciated!

[hulahoopsilove]

DS would like an Xbox 360 - Ive had a look online Argos, Game,John Lewis and they are all quoting different GB;s and some are saying 3 months free membership???? etc... haven't a clue

What would you recommend and where would you buy from?

3month will be subscription to x box live to play online etc, prices prob start to drop as new x box one is released in couple of weeks ( as husband counts down the days ) have a look at price comparison sites. I would get one with higher GB as we only bought 4 then had to buy external memory to hold game info , hope that helps ? If not I can quiz hubby when he eventually rises ;-)

Also when you buy gold membership I think 12 month from amazon was good deal, they sent you a code to use

oh ok now understand! I'll def hang on a few weeks as you say prices pay drop although Argos have it for £159 with 2 games but only 1 month membership, the 12 month deal is definitely worth doing I think.

That's a good price, I think we used to pay 15 ish for 3 months thru x box but got 12 months for 30 ish on amazon. Asda is usually best price for new games too

Oh and if you or a family member has sky subscription your son can watch it free thru x box - we do for the sky exclusive channels.

we have virgin media justyou

The XBox 360 Live platform is being phased out next year so by 2015 will be unavailable for use.

It's being replaced by the XBox MS One service which is only compatible with the new console software.

They have also decommissioned 360 game production so its worth considering that the Ganges that are available over the next 3 months will be the last new games you can purchase.

*games not ganges

We have virgin too but watch sky Atlantic etc thru mil s sky subscription

We are going for the Argos offer, it sounds good and if he gets a couple of years use out of it that's fine by me
