I am probably going to get the Arcade pack (my girlfriend getting for me with a phone she getting)

So i figured i could buy a 20GB hard Drive and the wireless adapter. Would all that work ok?? Or is there a big disadvantage to havin the arcade!?!?!

Any help would be great

Thanks

That will be fine Emmie.My mate bought the original entry level 360 (can't remember what is was called now!) then added a hard drive,wireless controllers and wireless internet adaptor later on.If you're going to get an arcade basically for free then go for it dude !.

Yeah, arcade will be fine. Not sure I trust those phone deals though.

Thanks for your help!

I was a bit skeptical about the whole thing but then a mate did it and got a 19" Samsung HD TV with his phone. My Girlfriend got her heart set on a Samsung Pink Tocco, and the tarrif is about £40 a month for unlimited texts, 1000 minutes etc etc, which aint too bad, and i should get either an xbox arcade or xbox pro (duno what that is)

Could anyone shed light on what an X-box 360 Pro is?

Think the Pro is the new model with the 60GB hard drive,falcon chipset and HDMI port.Its the replacement for the old premium model.Happy days if its one of those !.

Yes, if you have a choice, get the Pro. Didn't realise you had that choice!

As far I can remember you are only able to use the official Microsoft wireless adapter which is about £50-60. Sucks a bit but if you don't use an Ethernet cable you have little choice!
