should i get a 360

AnandjonesHe hasn't gotten it yet, I'd say Dicksmith Electronics is all right, stupid returns policy, but they often have consoles etc. $2 cheaper than everywhere else lol, but The Warehouse is always good, Where everyone gets a Bargain. He lives in a barely unknown city, so there probably isn't a Harvey Norman there (there's none here). You can easily just get it second hand from Cash Converters (the one here is gone now :() or off TradeMe or something, make sure to always check the Feedback of course.

TM is always good, though the warehouse is the cheapest for new. Was about $120 cheaper than any other store.

Sorry for the double post but thought id give you another reason to go 360NZ is just got price cuts,$399

i think ill get the arcade bundle that is 400since eb games ant going to give me much for my ps2

The arcade bundle is the Core $399 system package, the one that comes with the arcade games and the 64mb memory card.

how much can the memory card hold

Uh, 64MB for saves, you can get your own external harddrive for memory.

the memory unit that comes with the arcade bundle is 256MB

will the 256mb memory unit be alright for game saves

Itll be ok for a few games, id recommend getting a 360 with the HD though, yes you can use an external HD for game saves, though its a bitch of a process to format it, or im pretty sure any FAT32 flashdrive will work too, however you cant use an external HD for downloaded live content such as games, demos, videos, game updates, downloadable content and all of the other fun stuff. If you can do without Xbox live then 256 and a flashdrive will be fine, if you intend to go online at all make sure you get a Xbox HD.

That.. sucks balls. The regular 20GB pack is a ripoff (harddrive anyway). So no online stuff for external drives.. *Anandjones slits both of his wrists and goes back to his PS3.

I got my pack with the 20G HD, media remote, forza2 and viva pinata for around $599, im sure thats come down by now.

im on dail-up so no xbox live.so just games savesabout how many saves can the 256mb hold

Replying to #32

around 4 I think, depends on the game.

that sucks

Then a flashdrive or pendrive would suffice for a few games.

how much is a hard drive in nz

Since you're not going to go online, a 80GB harddrive (external) is about $80-90. Worry about it once you have enough money for a 360.

true wat do u mean extermal

External meaning a portable etc. harddrive that you connect via USB etc. Internal is where it has to be inside your computer etc., you know SATA or IDE etc. drives.

you don't even need to do that. if you don't need game content from live and its media you want, you can just network your 360 with a pc and use a programme like twonky
