Xbox 360 Core

[sickcars]

I MIGHT be getting a Xbox 360 CORE system for cheap. Now my question do you think its really worth it to get the Core instead of the premium version?

I'm thinking that if I want to play online, im going to have to buy the harddrive (I think) also i'll have to pay to play online which just adds to the cost.

Anything else about the CORE i should know about??

Thanks

You have to buy Xbox Live with both versions. No difference. If you want the component HD cables then it's cheaper to buy the premium (retail price), otherwise it will cost you the same for the Core + HDD as it would for the premium (retail price). If you're getting the core for cheap then go for it for sure. If you do want the component HD cables (you do have an HDTV with the blue, green, and red inputs) then figure out if it would cheaper to buy the core with the add-ons, at your cheap price, or get a premium. :)

I wont be using HD cables since my tv does not support it so im good for that. But with the CORE because it does not have the HDD does it mean that I cant save games and so on?

In order to save you would need a memory card or the HDD. I would get the HDD. Since you don't need the HD cables and you're getting the core for cheap, it should be cheaper to get the core and an HDD than it would to get a premium.

Ya i could probably get the Core+HDD for about $300 but I was not planing on spending that much..... I thought we would still be able to save it space built into the 360...that sucks i got to buy a hdd to save the games....

Also if I buy a 360 from the USA is the warranty void here??

I think if you buy a x360 from the states our points cards wont work up here. I know a friend brough his up for the summer and he got some points cards and they didnt work up here. He phoned microsoft and they gave him some points and told him he was SOL
