I didn't know the Xbox360 is $300 now. It comes with Kung Fu Panda and Lego Indiana Jones games though.

My question is, what is the difference between 60gig and the $400 elite?

I'm not getting a Ps3 anymore since FFXIII is porting to 360.

It's been decided that i'm going to buy 360 next week now, I just wonder what else do you need to buy??? I know the 60 gig comes with two games... one controller.... one head set? What else do i need to buy??

Those two games that are coming with it aren't going to keep you playing for long, so I would get some more games and a card for a year of Xbox LIVE. Maybe some Microsoft Points for Arcade games and or downloadable content.

Buy an HDMI cable off the net if you're playing on a HDTV. Really if you're not afraid of shopping on the internet you can buy an Arcade and a 120gb HDD for around $300. But definitely buy your HDMI cable on the net. I don't know why, but retail stores sell HDMI cables starting at like $40 while on the net you can get one for like $6.

No the 60gb is white, you're thinking of the ELite.

You'll need an adapter if you want wireless online, but if not an ethernet cord is just fine and no you don't need a Memory Card but it is an optional add-on to store extra stuff.

at best buy it's $200 for the 20GB package, i think an extra $100 would be a waste for 40Gb

Yeah that would be fine although I would recommend playing the Xbox 360 in HD as it really improves the experience

Do i need some kind of adaptor to play online??

No you wouldn't, the console comes with an ethernet cable although if you have Wi-fi then you'll need a network adaptor.

Do i need to buy a memory card like Ps2??

No it has a harddrive so there wouldn't be any need for one.

I just want to experience next gen consoles lol i don't want to play xboxlive yet because of school haha.

The true experience of Next Gen is the online, I would recommend trying it highly.

Elite (supposedly) runs better, comes with hdmi cable, looks hot in black and i happen to own one my self. I say it runs better because all my friends get red ring of death all the time and they have white 360's and ive had mine almost a year and its never given a problem at all

Just a tip, check Craigslist.org. I got an almost new (June 2008 model) 60G Xbox 360 for $180, but we paid extra and for $280 we got COD4, Halo 3, Iron Man, two charging kits, and two wireless controllers. Still lower than retail and no tax required.

Good luck.
