Basically the Xbox costs you an extra £379 which doesn't sound very cheap to me.

With an Xbox you are paying at least £30 per month for 18 months + £19 for the handset = £559 total

Without Xbox same phone deal on same line rental (Orange Canary) costs only £180 over the same 18 months as you get 12 months for free, plus the handset is free as well.

None of the phone with Xbox/Ipod/PSP deals that I have seen have been cheaper than buying the two separately.

cheers cracker & Gary

I'm not "really" sure i want a 360 but it seemed like a good deal!!!

Due to my gadget freak tendancies i could just get a new mobile instead.

The nokia N93 looks excellent or maybe a vario - any thoughts on these or any other idea's on what i could get?
