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 ;).

Think I am going to preorder mine soon from one of the online shops. Going to get the £279 model. Dont know whether to go to my local gaming shop and order one of just get one off the net and have it delivered.

Games are about £40 plus would want the RGB scart and a few other things. Looked on one shop and priced up £555 for one with about 6 or 7 games.

The whole wireless adapter thing is seriously annoying, I was expecting it to be wireless out of the box. I really want one but there's a chance this might make me wait.

I thought you got the Wi-fi adapter with the more expensive kit, will be a bit crap if you don't.

I'll be pre ordering the Premium pack soon-ish.

One thing that concerns me though. Everywhere I've read says the wireless pad is included, but nothing is said about a battery pack. Can anyone shed some light on this?

Might not run on batteries, might just come with a charging unit or something.

Who knows?

It isn't included, but you can buy a station to charge it. I think.

And you can't get the wi-fi adapter with the premium pack.

Sadly.

Where are people finding games for £40? The cheapest I can find is £45.

I forget exactly how it works, but I think either you connect it to the console while you're not playing any games and it charges up or it comes with a docking station, but you can't use the controller while it's on the docking station. That power up pack allows you to charge up and play at the same time, somehow.
