| 1290512 | 2012-07-24 07:28:00 | Just buy whatever is cheapest. I wouldn't recommend spending up large on a 7 year old piece of hardware. With an xbox you generally get: 1 Controller with 2xAA batteries, headset and depending on where you buy it from you might get a bundled game too. The come in 4gb or 120?gb models. You can upgrade the harddrive though. I would recommend buying a plug and play kit, the controller just chews threw the AA batteries, rechargeable packs are basically a must. Just dont buy a $30+ one. Oh and microsoft wants you to pay to play online as well (unlike sony). | icow (15313) | ||

| 1290514 | 2012-07-24 08:48:00 | I'd avoid the 4GB ones, simply because 4GB is bugger all and it's not a significant price difference to jump to the 250GB. Not convinced the 320GB is worth the extra $$, they seem to be about $100 - $120 more than the 250. | inphinity (7274) | ||

| 1290516 | 2012-07-24 09:06:00 | Agree that 4GB is nothing. Gold accounts are ridiculously expensive, so I hope he doesn't want to play online. I have found the Xbox Live Arcade has a lot of really good games (and usually at a reasonable price), but a young male is probably only interested in Call of Duty & similar games. marketplace.xbox.com marketplace.xbox.com marketplace.xbox.com marketplace.xbox.com marketplace.xbox.com |

| 1290518 | 2012-07-24 09:19:00 | To be honest I wouldn't recommend a used xbox, notoriously unreliable. So forget I mentioned it. I just bought myself the 250GB version with 3 games for $380. |

| 1290520 | 2012-07-24 09:31:00 | You can get an Xbox with 2 games + 3 mths Xbox live for $399 at Dick Smith. (www.dicksmith.co.nz) And yup, I wouldnt get one 2nd hand. In case its been banned from anyone playing it online. Then, you'll have to spend more $ to get another Xbox | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
