Cheers king. one more question mate. In the premium pack, does it come with everything you need to play games online? Do I just plug it in my phoneline with broadband?

My opinion too. I currently have a 42" Plasma that cost just over £2k two years ago, certainly not paying silly money if i don't have to for a new telly.
Plus if i were to sell the plasma i'd get **** all.

To get the full blown live experience you will need to get the gold subscription. Premium pack comes with silver & a 30day gold trial.

Oblivion, Condemned, COD2 etc... all look fantastic, and play like the PC versions (bar the different controller vs PC keyboard - sorry still prefer the PC for FPS).
Anyhow, I bought one for Burnout Revenge - don't regret it.
But, you'll need a HD TV to get the most out of it!

I love my 360 no regrets whatsoever even though I paid over the odds to get one for Xmas.
Just wish I had more time to play it!

When they're working they're great, they're not they're not...
Broadband is a definate "must have" to get the best from it though.
Best games to get? Probably GRAW & PGR3 to go online with.

Great machine. I still love mine, even though I'm now on my 3rd!!!
Fair play to MS though. Each time I've had a problem, they've got it sorted out and sent me a new machine within a week.
Personally, I don't like PGR3 much. Burnout revenge is much more fun, and great online

If I get a 360 will I end up buying a PS3 as well?

Or should you just get a Wii? Me, I've just bought one of these:
Although it was for my sister who is 2 years older than me, but we had a nostalgia conversation and I just had to buy it for her. I used to have one as a kid about 20 years ago
Had to check it worked before I handed it over though

Nope, it was always known as Munchman (I think due to copyright). My original from circa 1983 was always called Munchman. My box looked like the one here (but the one I bought recently is unboxed) :

^^^ NICE!
But back to Xbox360. I picked one up on a whim and am glad i did - sure it's M$ and so on. But it's a ncie bit of kit. The games I have I enjoy; PGR3, Burnout, MotoGP06. Grafix are fantastic for a console, especially on a 32" HDTV
Sure it isn't a PC, and by no stretch would I compare it to my dedicated games PC - but for a console it's great. Also, if you're into your media center thingy, the xbox does fairly well with hooking up to a PC and streaming music off it. I've not been able to do video as I dont have WXPMC installed on a machine as the default OS but still - quailty machine.
Plus, i was skeptical at first about the wireless controllers - but DAMN is they arent f-ing fun to use
