What Should I Buy?

Ok, I Was Just Wondering Should I Get Normal XBox For £279.99 With 2 Games Or Hang Out And Get An Elite? I've NEVER Had An XBox Before And I Only Own A PS2 And Wii So I Really Want To Try One. Also Is XBox Live Gold £40 A Year?

Thanks,
James

Ive got a normal 360 atm,but my parents said the day the Elite comes out they will buy it for me,Just wait in my terms,To be fair its alot diffrent and isnt exactly alot of money in the middle its worth waiting for,My 360 drive hardly even comes out now because its so olddd

xbox live £36 on amazon.

Well The Fact I Get £40 A Month (I Imagine You Get More) It Is Alot Of Money, What Actually Takes Up The Memory? And Another Q, Do Game Add-Ons Cost?

Well i download like 3 games a week which means i have a big fat 0 memory,Well i have 1 bit left,Ad ons are expensive its quite alot for microsoft points aswell :(

New arcade games are what's increasing hard drive space, it's not that bad but I've had my 360 for like..4 months and my HD has never really got much space, but I have videos, quite a lot of arcade games and demos, if you only plan to play retail games and not get addons don't bother with elite, if you want to play arcade games, buy addons all the time then elite might be better, the only difference between them is the 120Gb HD with elite, the new cable for better quality on certain TVs and it's black, and it might run a bit better than the standard xbox

I fail to see how the XBOX 360 and XBOX 360 Elite will be any different in terms of game play ? It just has a few hardware upgrades? Oh and i certainly dont see how you can call the 360 old.

True.
What i do to get more space is if i download (free) Demos etc.

Soon as im done with them i delete them. its been working well and atm got 10gb!

Wait for the elite.

Well I'm Only Going To Download Add-Ons And Demo's And Store Music.

BTW Does It Accept iTunes Music AKA mp4 & mpa *Hopes*
