buying a 360 this weekend

[233]

looking to buy a 360 this weekend spending circa 3-350 pounds and just wondering what i should get

2 games i will be looking for are Forza 2 and GTA4 but in terms of hardware what should i consider,

I'll be gaming in my living room on a 32" pioneer plasma(HD) which only has vga inputs whats the best cable to get,official????

in terms of what system arcade,pro,elite whats the benefits of each and what would suit my needs best?


cheers guys guide me in the ways of the consoles

btw can i use my pc 360 wired pads on a 360 console?

Premium (pro) is the way to go, Personally I think a hard drive is essential,

The only thing that the elite has that the pro doesn't is a bigger hard drive but i have never managed to fill my 20GB one

And you can use the pads if they are the official MS ones

Official VGA lead is the best, the TV def not got HDMI? the 360 will have.

Personally I would get the elite for the extra space, a few demos, live arcade games and as you start to get DLC that will fill up.

You dont get all 20g to use, some of that is system stuff.
