I want to get an xbox 360 for my kids for chrismas?

Question

I don't get how there a two types core and something else one more expensive. They have an xbox , ps2 , psp , and ds so their spoiltbrats but a couple of hours locked in the cupboard per night cures that. Can you explain the difference in the system to me please . If it's a good answer i might let them out

oh yeah , and they got a wii thanks to the drandparents

Answer 1

I say leave them locked up, buy the most expensive XBox 360 version and play with it yourself.
Or... buy the 360 for them and smash it with a hammer right in front of them.
Or... buy a 360 and make the kids give it to charity.
Or... just hit the kids with the hammer and take a vacation.

Answer 2

My brother's son has a 360. All I know is its premium because its got a few extras. Though it has conked out and is being returned to Microsoft for a replacement. The dreaded red ring of death.

My advice honestly, get a Nintendo Wii. Exercise. Fun. Is wi fi enabled. You can download old Nes games. AND its £250 penny shy in Toys R Us, with 6 games, plus sports pack and sports controllers..

360, good graphics, but like PS3 is very overrated.

EDIT

If they've got a Wii already, then save your money and buy them something thats not a games console..

Answer 3

Let the kids out of the cupboard and put the game machines in there instead, and lock it up tight!

For the price of an Xbox 360 and all those games they'll want you to buy or rent for them, you could buy some decent books for them and maybe even hire someone to teach them to read (in case they have forgotten). Otherwise, you're going to have a bunch of kids with fast reflexes, poor eyesight, and an inability to focus on much of anything for a significant amount of time. When they finally make it to 18, they'll be hardcore unemployables and you'll NEVER get rid of them. Is that what you want?

Answer 4

As far as i know the core system comes without the 20gb hard drive whereas the premium has it as standard.
The 360 does have memory cards slots also so it's not that bad without the drive but for the price of mem' cards it's probably best just to buy the premium system from the off. Oh and i think you need the hard drive to play through the internet.

Answer 5

Well, my grandson is probably more spoiled than your kids. He had a PS3 and said it sucked. He took it to to Game Crazy and traded it in for store credits so he could get games for the XBOX 360 and his WII. He plugs the XBOX and WII into the wide screen HD TV and the graphics are fantastic. He plays games online with people from all over the world. It is pretty funny with him, with the head set on, yelling at someone "Help me", "I got you covered" or "What the f**k are you doing. He is 18.

Answer 6

3 types of xbox 360:
1. core it has no hard drive. Which means your kids wont be able to play their old ebox games on the 360. The hard drive costs 100 bucks separately.

2. premium xbox 360, it has a hard drive.

3. elite xbox 360, its black, has a HD. Also, it has a HDMI port.

My recomendation is get them the premium.

Answer 7

graphics(how real the games picture gets)
hard drive(memory)
ram(speed)
modem(time it takes for it to connect to the web)
and the looks!
i recomend the playstation 3 or xbox 360.

Answer 8

Yeah a PS3 far better than an Xbox

I wouldn't get them anything else. That's awful that they already have what they do. There's so much else out there for them to do besides play video games.
