Pro is a wise choice. You should get the latest motherboard called falcon...and it has HDMI port for HD (if you need it later on) and it should not give you RROD.

Also, you should have plenty of room with the 20 gig hard drive...and that you can always upgrade later.

The pro model comes with HD cables as well as regular RCA cables so you can use them on both types of TVs.

299 for that bundle is amazing value...I suggest you act fast. I would buy an Elite right away if it was bundled with those games...but sadly its only the pro console on sale at futureshop...

 

How do i go about checking/asking if the motherboard is Falcon?

The bundle is at FutureShop Canada and is for the Pro + two free games of choice.

Every 360 manufactured since Nov 07 is a Falcon. If you want, check the box, if it says the power source is 175w then it is a Falcon. Non Falcon models were 203w.

I have a 20gb and still have 8gb remaining, but I don't really DL movies, shows or demos. The 20gb is really only 14gb usable so if you want space, wait and get a 60gb. Or get the 20gb now and buy the 60gb Hdd accessory kit down the line when you need it. It'll be $99.

 

Thank you, I will check the power source when I go.  Do you know if the new 60G consoles will be priced as the Pros?  I read on this site (forum post) that the 60G will be more expensive but I don't recall if there was a source to that statement.  Perhaps I shouldn't pass on the two game deal LOL
