Dont come with wireless but i bought a premium one and you connected it to the ethernet port. Wireless card cost about £60.

I would consider selling mine for around £300 if interested. Its not cheap but i have used it about once and i have the wireless card and Need for Speed Underground. Has all the premium stuff with it.

I would consider offers but dont want to let it go to cheap as its litterally not been used.

No problem if not.... good luck!

Is there a gamestation near you?
They are currently doing a deal where by you can get a premiun pack (rrp £280) and Hitman Blood Money (£50) for about £310.

you don't want the core, trust me. Everyone I know who bought a core ended up buying a memory card for £25, then eventually buying a HDD (£60-£70) so they can get download content and demos from the 360 marketplace.
If you must go core, there's a Fifa pack they do for about £250 that comes with a limited edition faceplace, Fifa World Cup 2006, and a football

Core isnt worth it - you must have a HDD to get the best from it.

Dual Layer games on to a 12gig hd (20gig - 7/8gig reserved for system use), you'll fit 1 and a bit

Check out www.xbox-scene.com if you want to know whats happening in the homebrew development world

On the subject of wireless networking for the 360.

Do you need the 360 wireless adaptor or can you just use a wireless game adaptor from someone like Linksys? As I already have this adaptor for the older xbox and I would rather not have to buy the MS jobby when I already have one!

You can use other wireless gaming adapters/bridges if they use the ethernet port.

COD 2 is one of the best release games there was, and is still one of the best now!! I wouldn;t even get rid of it but for the fact I need the money so it's not like I am desparate!!

TBH mate I am open to offers if they are reasonable, but considering the updates I think it's a bargain!! Also, I 100% guarantee it is working fine and with no issues!!
