For a console that's almost 5 years old I think the graphics are pretty good.
That's a good point.

Really? You can't work it out?
Xbox - £200
TV - £250
Couple of games - £80
Live sub (1 year) - £40
Total = £570
That's as you say a "cheap branded" TV (which there were over 130 5 star ratings for).
It would have been very easy for me to spend an extra 50 or 100 quid on the same size screen, hence my £600-£700 figure
I like how you added two games (at full RRP) and a live sub. Also, where did you buy your 360 for £200? You just love getting ripped off.
xbox elite for £100...is that new or 2nd hand?
AdladUK. I understand that. You understand that. But unfortunately, there are people who are not "techies" and believe that if a TV does not carry a big brand name tag, that it absolutely must be "crap".
It's called an Xbox 360 and at every single retailer in the country it's £189 or £199.
That's the 250GB Slim (which you need as having 4GB as your hard drive is useless).
I'm pretty sure they stopped selling the old elite models at retail stores now.
And why wouldn't I add 2 games at 40 quid each? That's what they were! Oh sorry are we counting pennies now? £39.98. That better?
Stop picking at straws man. My prices are perfectly on par
So my PC cost me £2000 because I bought 20 games with it?
You're talking crazy now.

Also need to remember a lot of people have had their consoles for that long. They'll be able to play games like F1 2010 in the knowledge that their game looks and plays identical to every other Xbox users game.That's a good point.
The funny thing is that once you've paid for the screen, console, games, Live sub, you're talking £600-£700, not £200.
Anyways I give up. Not sure what I'm gonna do with it at the moment. Will test a Blu-ray on the screen soon, if it's awesome I'll scrap the 360, if it's crap I'll just run the console on a HDMI supported monitor
Someone stated that £1000 PC is better than a £200 console.
You then said that £200 is wrong, and that it cost £600-£700.
I then proved that it costs much less and thats including a TV.
What you payed has nothing to do with the original argument.
You didn't really prove anything as your prices were based on an old Xbox model that someone may or may not be able to buy. My prices were more realistic of what you would end up paying today if you wanted to "experience" the 360 from scratch. Hell, I just did it, I should know.
And yeah I agree the price thing has nothing to do with the original argument
£1k PC is better than a £200 console.
