Default xbox 360 question

are all xbox 360 hd ready?

looking to buy one but im seeing to different options and they dont say wether there hd ready or not

i have just the core system with a game etc in a green box or the full system in a white box

i will be buying a hd tv sometime next year but will just have to play on my normal one for now

so if all xboxes are hd ready ill just buy the core system with a couple of games etc and buy the leads for the hd at a later date

or is it worth spending the xtra on the full system, ?

one thing that i didnt like about the 360 is that you have to pay to get online and play people, where as with the pc it doesnt cost anything.

rainbow 6 looked the blolx mate

but they made it far to complicated for what it is

only 16 players online in a sever which is shit

graphics are diabolical with no settings

controls i think theres a round 20-30 controls which is hard work on keybaord

no voip

no mouse wheel selcting

was gutted

its how they have made the game mate that lets it down

basically put an xbox game on a pc

wouldnt work rite but thats what they have done

heres a screenshot of my mate looks like robin hood i think



thats what the graphics are like no matter what card, and the lag was stupid

heres a screenshot of 2142 on same card with graphics up high

my card is a 6800 gs 512mb nvidea, mimum requirements for rb6 is 6600



ill stick to this for the time being

The difference between the core pack and the premium is:

Core pack:
Wired Controller, Non HDTV cable, No method of saving data, No Headset communicator.

Premium Pack:
Wireless controller, 20GB Hard Drive, HD TV Cable, Headset Communicator and some packs have a bonus remote control for DVD playback.

The core pack is HD ready, its just a low price alternative to get you onto the Xbox. The accessories such as Hard Drive, HDTV cable, Headsets can be bought sepearately as you need them. A typical HDTV lead costs £14.99.

Everbody gets 1 month free access to Xbox live Gold membership and free lifetime silver membership. Only gold memberships can play online games. Silver allows you to browse and download files(Gold does this as well) There is many different ways you can take out Xbox Gold membership, you can buy prepaid cards for 3, 6 and 12 months or you can pay £4 a month from a debit or credit card. Full payment can be made for the year as well using your credit/debit card.

The benefit of Xbox live is Microsoft automatically update your console for patches etc.. You can invite your mates to games and also download new maps, content for games as well.
