Hey, thanks for the replies people.

For now, I didn't buy one. I went to the shop, checked the games out, and was really tempted, but I decided to sleep on it some nights.

What puts me off from buying it is the extra costs that come with the console. I need to buy a wireless adapter, which is 80 euro's, almost as much as 2 games. Then, I need to buy a charge kit for the controllers. And last, Xbox Live costs money.

Now, I do have the money, so it's not that big a deal, but I will think about it some more and might buy one at a later stage. I really would like to play some Halo 3 and Castle Crashers...

 

You can use certain wireless bridges and routers to connect the Xbox 360 up to a network much cheaper than the official way and you also get a much higher transmit power.

Thats an awesome idea. I've always prefered to kept mine wired but I'm thinking of getting a second 360 for upstairs once jasper hits the shelves. No more cat 5 to run and has the added bonus of bosting signal strenth for the laptops. I'd skip the play and charge kit my recharagables have been short lived baisically you end up with a wired controler after about 6-8 months. Instead of buying another new one think I'll go with reghageable AA's this time.
