Well, I am, the price of the pack with everything you need convinced me and it'll be even less if I go somwhere who will take my old Xbox against the price, i.e. Game ;).

I'd be very happy if I could. I get £80ish quid every month, we have about 3ish months left until it is released so I should be able to afford it.

If I cant, i'll save up for 3 months giving me about £240 and wait until Xmas and get an extra £200 on top of that for other Xbox 360 goodness.

But the thing is, I cant see myself saving up all of the money I earn cause im gonna want to get other things wit the money like clothes, PSP games etc. so i'll probably end up saving about £150.

Ah, see, I have a full time decent paid job, so, I'll be able to buy one without saving up.

Just need to figure out which Hi-def TV I'd like to buy to play the games on :D.

You're getting a HD-TV aswell?!

I heard they are about £2000. You dont need a HD-TV to play the Xbox 360.

Why dont you just wait a couple of years when they'll be at a reasonable price?

I dont think i'd buy one even if I had enough money, I dont see the point in buying a TV thats about 3 times more expensive than a normal TV just so you can have slightly better quality.

I'm sorely tempted, I have to say.

Thing is, buying a flat and a new car within 6 months of each other means I don't have a huge amount of spare cash floating around for one.

Bear in mind that by the time you've added a game and an extra pad, you're going to need at least 350. And that's just with 1 game....

I'm tempted, but I'm off to Japan for a month early in the new Year so I really can't be buying a 360 quite yet.

Well that and I'm really not willing to spend £45 a game.

Japan? Nice.

Where abouts are you going? I heard Kyoto was quite good.. apparently there's a nice balance of tradition and technology.

If so, I hate you.

You're now officially an enemy then ;).

It's not spectacularly paid, and being in Scotland brings it down a little, but it's still a "massive" increase from student earnings to professional programmer earnings :D.

I'm really not sure what to do here... the Cheap package is tempting... if I can get away with it. Which I doubt.
