new to 360..have some questions..

hey..im gonna get an xbox 360 in less than a month..and i have some questions.

1. Is the 350 dollar 360 have enough space..i dont plan to download much stuff anyway soo...

2. I dont plan to use a hd tv..so arre there any cables i need to buy or do they come with it...

3. is there anything else i would need to buy that i might need to get..like extra cables or memory stuff...

4. Do u get a free trail for xbox live when u buy the 350 dollar 360..and how long if u do...

thanks for asking..my parents just want to know more about it before spending that much money on it..and then have to buy more stuff..

thanks for answering...

20gb is good enough for me and you don't need anything else though I would get the play and charge kit if you're getting a wireless controller. And when you create your gamertag, you get 30 days of free XBL Gold and then you go back to silver...Funkdaddy13

thanks..do u know if u need to buy a different cord for regular tvs..and stupid question..whats the difference between silver and gold?

The cord that comes with the Premium has connections for HDTV's and normal TV's. You just need to move a switch on it to select which one. Gold: early access to everything on the marketplace, play online, all the good stuff; definitely worth it Silver: you get everything on the marketplace later and you can't play online... Only good if you're cheap or don't play online gamesFunkdaddy13

sweet..well i plan to play online..especially with halo...but isnt it like 60 bucks for a year of gold?

no it pretty much comes with all of the cords you need, silver comes with no onlineplay for games but you can add and chat with friends. you also have a limited xbox live marketplace. you can still download demos but old ones not the new ones that just come out. best to just but a year of xboxlive when you buy a 360 other than that, when you buy a 20 gb 360 your all set to playAntox-RX8

thats not true,i have xbl silver and i download all the demos as soon as they come out.

I assume the 350$ version is the premium pack, I'd buy a Bundle deal if I was you for like 50 dollars more, it comes with either 1 game + play & recharge kit (includes 1 rechargeable battery), or an extra wireless controller + play & recharge.

wichever one you choose, you save money, the games you get aren't otional though, i recently bought a 360 and got the 360 Dead rising bundle pack, best one I found, cheap to.

1. the 20 gigs is enough. i have live and i still have 10 left of mine

2. no, the 360 comes with hd and plain cables, so you wont need to buy anything else

3. if you have someone else to play with you should def. buy a 2nd controller. you should also buy a quick charge kit and/or a play and charge kit. a 12+1 month card for live is needed after your 1 month trial of gold expires. you wont need more memory for a while if you have the pro which is 20 gigs

4. yeah, you get 1 month of free xbox live gold and free silver forever

cant u delete demos off and get the space back??...ianp_91

yeah, you can

Yes, and you can delete anything that you download. But over time there are things that you would like to keep and being that you only get 13gb of usable space it can fill up rather quickly, so if there are other things that you want to download and keep then you will have to decide on what to delete of what you wanted to keep or just decide not to download what you wanted to download. So with the 120gb harddrive you will get 107gb(without the preloaded stuff) or 102gb(with the preloaded stuff) that you get with the Xbox360 Elite then you should never worry about deleting stuff that you wanted to keep to either download the new stuff or not. Hope that helps.

I do not download any movies or tv shows or arcade games or music. All I had on my 20gb(13gb of usable space) harddrive were my 35+ games saves and about 10 or so gamevideos and about 4 demos, and that was over 10gb of space just for that.

could i buy a memory card to save games on to..so that it doesnt take much stuff on..cuz i wont download movies..and if i download a demo..i pry will just delete it..i think im just gonna stick with the 20 g..and if i do run out..which will be in a year or two..if any..i will have more money to buy a new hardrive or something..ianp_91

Memory cards are a waste of money since the Xbox360 has a harddrive. Also game saves do not take up that much space, as for the 35+ games that I have the games saves only takes up just over 3gb of space total and that is for all of my games.

Hey that's cool if you think that the smaller harddrive will be enough for you then go for it. Just trying to offer some advice.
