X-box 360: Suitable for all















Well I recently invested in an X-box 360 because well, in gaming terms, I needed to - see more of my reasoning in THIS POST. It has worked out pretty well so far, I got a very good price on amazon which included a pad and a 20G hard drive. There were also sopme good deals with it, I got the Wireless entertainment pack, with another pad and two games for £25 down from about £100 or so and I also was able to purchase Halo 3 for £10 when getting the console so it worked out rather well for me on the whole. The other games were Forza 2 and Viva Pinata of you're interested.

I went out and grabbed some more games for it, chiefly the new Lost game, which has proved to be a good buy, especially as I got it a few pound cheaper than RRP from Tesco. I also bought the latest Splinter Cell as I had not been able to get it on PC and also "The Urbz" 'cause it looked fun and was exceedingly cheap. It was something of a joy being able to get these games without having to check for Hard Drive space or processor power and I managed to get the lot for a little over £40...about the price of one Playstation 3 game!

It's been great having it, but one thing really tickled me about it. On the box of the console which itself did not include any games, was printed one of these babies...












I had to laugh that they decided to state that a piece of hardware and the setup screen are safe viewing for people of all ages - what will they think of next?!
