Best deal out of those for me?

Devided against ps3 , total rip off , i'd be trading in my ps2 and about 16 games when i bought it. Also xbox live. How much is subscription ? How do I enable it also ? Im on Bt Broadband with a home hub in my moms room.

That one I would say

xbox live is easy to set up, take the network cable put it into the back of the xbox, plug the other end into the network, signing up is VERY easy, just follow instructions, £40 a year is the best offer for live and if you buy that one you get a free month with the console and you should get another month with PGR3

Right im still lost on the xbox live thing. I just dont follow :S

What don't you get?

Im on wireless internet , my hub is in my moms room and the cable would have to travel all over the house.

Would that help?

Yea that would be the best option since you're on wireless, you need to buy that seperatly unless you find a deal with that

[mangle]

Yeah i'd buy that

[Neil]

Yeah i'd buy that

Setting up a wireless one should be sort of the same as wired, I'm not sure though so you might wanna read up on that

[summer]

xbox live is £14.99 for 3 months or £39.99 for 12 months.

i'd recommend getting that, and getting any 2 games.

but if you play with your mates a lot i'd recommend this one:

Yeah ill be getting that one best value for me.

I'd get it now if my dad wouldnt stop asking questions as he is the one paying. He wants to know with xbox live and our broadband does it use our allowance? Also as im on wireless internet do i need just this :

Or that and http://www.gamestation.co.uk/product.asp?id=xb360a018

Thanks

Yes it does use bandwidth.

Just the bottom one.

[mangle]

Thanks , cheapest i've found is 44 quid so yeah. Just one last question to anyone with a ps3 , is it true once you play a game in your console you can't lend it to a friend or take it back to the shop as it will only play on your console from now on.

No it's not true, just a rumour

[mangle]

Just go for a premium... Forget the black one.

Just found that deal!

[Neil]

http://www.gamestation.co.uk/discountaddall.asp?discountID=144%20

Just found that deal!

Very good deal

[mangle]

Yeah i think i'll be going for that along with a one year subscription to xbox live and a wireless gaming adapter.

[GommeInc]

I think the new Xbox 360 Elite has a WiFi option? You could get that so you just need a network and an Xbox 360, and nother extra to connect to the network?

[mangle]

Don't think it does. They haven't mentioned it in any statements i've seen.

[GommeInc]

Don't think it does. They haven't mentioned it in any statements i've seen.
Hmmm, I see. Someone mentioned something about WiFi in another thread. You can buy a WiFi device for an Xbox 360 Premium, but you get one included with the Elite or something.

[mangle]

They said they missed a chance by not including it in there. The cheapest wifi adapter is 44 quid though

[GommeInc]

Oh I see, I probably didn't pay alot of attention. I guess you'll have to buy an adaptor which is a bit of an inconvenience.

[---MAD---]

I guess they want the price as low as possible to compete with the PS3 release. Its a bit sneeky ;).

[mangle]

Yeah but with my xbox live subscripton and that deal and the adapter its still cheaper than a bog standard ps3.

[Neil]

Mangle I suggest you try and get your network changed to wired because wireless is slow as hell, unless you have a very good broadband connection you'll probably lag like hell on quite a lot of the games

[mangle]

Ah , only problem with that is the wires would be trailing all over my house. They'd cause amassive problem and my Dad is pretty firm on not budging as he has his laptop with centrino.

Just tell your dad that wireless stinks, it slows your normal connection right down, whatever you're computer is like now will be faster if you switch to wired

[mangle]

The mans a bloody moron. He wants me to now buy a PS3 -.-'
