Newbie Advice

Hi all,

Thinking of buying an xbox 360. I am a complete newbie to xbox360's (although I did have one of the old xbox's). I am thinking of getting this bundle, can anyone advise if it is any good as a first 360 purchase?


Play.com (UK) : Xbox 360 Elite Console + Scene It? Box Office Smash (includes 4 buzzers) + You're In The Movies (includes Xbox Live Vision Camera) + Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts : Xbox 360 - Free Delivery

Thanks

Seems a good bundle if thats the type of games your after. Tere are different bundles out there so i would look in this thread Xbox 360 Best Buys. Console Only, Bundles and Accessories

Or you could just google and see what pops up in amazon, pc world, game, gamestation among others.

Re: Newbie Advice

I would avoid that deal like the unless you really want the xbox camera? my favourite deal is this one for £199 with Fight Night and Tiger but you can also have COD4 and Gears of War I think
Xbox 360 Elite Console with Fight Night 4 and Tiger Woods 2010 (Xbox 360) - free UK delivery at Gamestation.co.uk

Re: Newbie Advice

Its really down to the types of games you want, the pack seems like a great family pack

Re: Newbie Advice

Thanks for the replies.

I am really into driving games so a bundle around this would be good. Also want to try out xbox live as I have heard good things.
