ok. i have a xbox. i like my xbox, but i fear it's reaching the end of it's life. and i want to upgrade. i was thinking i would get a xbox 360, but i'm not very good with technical stuff and was wondering if any one can tell me, in lamens terms, what is the deal with the 360? does it work pretty much the same as the original? can i play dvds, and how? i already know i can play some xbox games on the 360. i only have like 3 games anyway so that's not very important. i use my xbox as my dvd player as well, so what do i need to buy in addition to the 360 console to be nicely set up for games and movies. i'm not really interested in that xbox live stuff, i'm happy to just play on my own.

so, can any one help me? :oops:

thank you very much :)

If you don't want live just get the core console (299.99 USD). You do not have to buy additional periphs to use the dvd player. Just pop in the disc and you're good to go.

Although i wouldnt usually recommend a Core it seems good in your case. It plays games, dvds, cds just like the old one, and the dashboard is great because its almost like your computer desktop (you can personalise, look at pics, and also play your favourite tunes while you play - though this is only with the premium for which you need a hardrive)
