Getting a 2nd 360

[thedoc46]

Whats the deal on getting a 2nd 360 ?

I have one in my room, but my eldest son is wanting his own one in his bedroom. I may even want three of them, since I also have a slightly younger son that also has his own room and will see his older brother with one and want one too .

Anyway, with the PS3's (I have three in my household) its nice and easy. We all just have our own profiles, there's no annual fee and i always buy any PSN titles under my profile, download & install under my profile and they are availble to the other PS3's under their profiles. Multi-console ownership on the PS3 is a joy.

However my eldest is a Halo / xbox360 fanboy, and he's asking for the Star Wars 360 that's just come out. Is there anyway to get a 2nd 360 and not pay another annual xbox gold subscription? Or if there's no way around that, then are there any family packs to take advantage of? I doubt all the games I've purchased under my profile will be available on the other console ? or will they be ?

Any tips to owning more than one 360 in the same household will be appreciated.

Thanks.

I signed up for a family Gold membership last year, gives you 4 yearly subs for £69.

You have a primary user who can distribute MS points and control the content of the other gamertags.

Yea, a family pack or just let him sign in with your tag?

Could you not just buy a cheap USB stick and load your profile onto it, and use it in all 3?, wouldn't work well when more then 1 wants to play, but... yeah
