If your gonna be playin on xbox live and that you would want a fair bit of memory, like 1 demo could take up 1.8gb when ya download it ------------- "Football isn't a matter of life or death, it's much more important than that." |

| Get one with a hard drive anyway. Less hassle. The new slimline one looks nice and I think it has wireless built in ( would have to check that) which is a big plus. |

| Got the arcade but was a mistake. Can't even download a demo. Have to delete games to add new games etc |

I won't be gettin that so!! Might get the Elite either, 120 gb would be plenty!! Anyone know where I'd get the best deal? Smyths? Gamestop? Game? Argos? -------------

| ah yeah Elite would be the business. You got a PS3 Podge? Both are basically the same in terms of how the game plays. But I rather PS3 because of free online play, Blue Ray and then never had a problem with memory. You won't have that problem with the Elite and could probably download load of films too, but you would need to pay 60 Euro a year to have xbox live (and so play online games) |

Unless you want to be sending away your Xbox for repairs every two weeks because of the red rings of doom, I would just get the PS3. ------------- "I will just say one thing: players born in a country should play for their own country." Gaetano D'Agostino |

When a game keeps pausing on you,does that mean your batterys are goosed in the controller?

I reckon it could be a problem with the game, anytime my batteries died the controller just stops mid-game, pain in the hoop when you're playing FIFA! If the games are actin up, load the games onto the system before playing! -------------

Usually yeah. The screen you get when you press the middle button should have a little battery meter somewhere on it. Top left I think. ------------- @AntrimMan85 |
