OK SO I WAS LOOKING AT THE 256 MB ONE $200
http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Micr...94701/catOid/-16487/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do

AND THE 2 GIG ONE. @260

http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Micr.../ccd/productDetail.do?cc_fm=Similar+Items+Mod


SO WHICH ONE SHOULD I GO WITH? IM NOT GONNA BE PUTTING A TON OF MUSIC AND HARDWARE, VIDEOS OR WHATEVER... BUT WHAT IS 256 MB GONNA LET ME DO? HOW MANY SONGS/VIDEOS... DEMOS OR WHATEVER CAN I STORE ON THAT?

WOULD IT BE A SMART MOVE JUST TO GO WITH THE 20 GIGS ONE?




...ALSO I WAS WONDERING ABOUT XBOX LIVE: SO DO YOU GOTTA PAY THE 40 DOLLARS TO CONNECT TO IT, OR IS IT FREE NOW? CUZ I LOOKED AT THE DESCRIPTION FOR THE 256MB ONE AND IT SAID THIS:

Xbox LIVE: Xbox LIVE is where games and entertainment come alive, the only unified place where you can play with anyone, anytime, anywhere. Connect Xbox 360 to your broadband connection, attach a storage device (hard drive or memory unit) and get instant access to Xbox LIVE Silver. Express your digital identity through your gamertag and gamer card, talk with others using voice chat, and access Xbox LIVE Marketplace
SO IS THAT A BUNCH OF BULLSHIT OR DO I REALLY NOT HAVE TO PAY?

Get the the one with a 20 or 60 gig HD. The 20 gig is actually 13 gig once you delete all the garbage because MS used up like 6 or 7 gig for the dashboard. Speaking of the dashboard, when november rolls around the dashboard is going to be updated to an all new dashboard and we'll have the ability to dump games on our HD'S. You'll still be required to own the game and have the game in the 360 when you play, but the game wont be read from the disc, it'll be read from your HD and this should improve gameplay as the textures and all that other stuff will be read from the HD. So less work for your 360 and less scratch marks and stuff on your game.

60gb is only 300 bucks but if you have a hdtv you would still have to buy the hdmi shits, I think only the Xbox Elite and halo 3 themed xbox 360 comes with them shits 350 though and 480 plus tax for Elite. I say get the 60gb and buy the hdmi seperate.

If you have a HDTV this is a MUST BUY....

The HDMI ports are on the last of the 20 gigs (which is discontinued in favor of the 60gb) on the 60gb and the elite's (120gb). all those systems come with a hdmi wire in the box and optical audio outputs, unlike the ps3. if you dont mind ordering online and waiting to receive your xbox in the mail you can get the 60gb for $249 right now. its normal price of 299 but dell home has a $50 off coupon code you can use for the xbox 360. im pretty sure you can use a regular debit/credit card to order off their site.

http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/...3&cs=19&c=us&l=en&dgc=CJ&cid=24471&lid=566643

thats the link to the product

$50 coupon "7V2DJL$PD6NGWZ" thats the coupon code inside the quotes.

and dont worry bout gettin a bad one cus all those 60gb are the newest hard ware and they are even supposed to have a dvd upscaler built into them now.


oh yeah that deal also includes free shipping.

Like Numb said, all the last versions of the 360 have the HDMI hookup. I have a 20 gig, falcon chip and it has the HDMI joint.

Thats what im talking about the wire not if its hdmi compatible. Cuz that shit is 50 bucks separate thats why i posted the pic.

edit also can't forget....
I thought you were talkin about the compatibility/port pimpin. Yeah, he'll need that joint, but if he goes with a computer monitor he'll need the VGA wire to get HD.
