Jesus that's a lot of question...

1. Buy whichever 360 you can afford- really any that has an HDD with it.

2. 20GB is enough. You can upgrade later.

3. HDD is used to store demos, pictures, saves, videos...everything really.

4. You can operate the 360 without the HDD yes but you cannot save in games unless you buy a memory unit. So it's best just to get a 360 with an HDD.

5. Yes any HDD is compatible.

6. To put in the HDD it just goes on top of the 360. It's straight-forward.

7. The 360 connects to the internet either with a wired connection or with the Wireless Adapter.

8. Yes you can connect the 360 from your console to your router via an ethernet connection.

9. I don't know about external HDDs.

can't go wrong with a pro. and for the price there is no reason not to buy one. 60gigs is more than enough.R_MAHIL

this^^^ Although if you can't afford a Pro, the Arcade ships with a 512MB memory card and wireless controller making it a good deal to since that's as much memory for saved games as the Wii has.

The thread creater only owned a PS2 in the previous gen, so I don't think he was planning on playing Xbox games on the Xbox 360.

8.5:Sadly priced at a horendous £60

9.5: You need to flash your console or w/e but tbh theres not much point unless you have knowledge of HDD's as it can cause damage, I don't think they are legal either.
