What is the best Xbox 360 console/deal for my purpose? (details below)?

DO NOT BUY AN X BOX! I own both an Xbox and a PS3. By far the ps3 is way way better. The server on the xbox is way slower and you have to pay? And if you dont pay for the online then you cant even save the games! I would sell my xbox but it was a present from my sister and I dont want to hurt her feelings. If you want a good system it would be the ps3.

I own a 360 because of forza 4, it is the only game I have atm, however, the install and DLC takes up about 15 gigs. Go for one with a decent size hard drive, at least 60gb.

Definitely do not get the 4 gb Xbox if you will be installing games, most games need up to 8 gb of installation, so go for something more than 4 gb.

fantasy II is sweet once you're into the franchise. eternal Sonata is a stupid yet extraordinarily relaxing rpg. have you ever performed the demo for reflect's side? The play variety is thoroughly unique, and extremely enticing. Viva Pinata is truly addictive, notwithstanding it is not precisely what you frequently play. My husband is a hardcore gamer (he performs halo, fallout 3, gta 4, oblivion, rainbow 6 vegas, etc.) and he LOVES viva pinata. that's truly stupid to computer screen him play. :) ineffective area is marvelous, Bioshock is a ought to-play, and COD 4 is between the main suitable shooters accessible. i haven't performed it yet, yet lost Odyssey have been given large comments, and that's one i'm finding forward to getting. (perhaps no longer a good 5 day interest however-- it truly is an entire-scale rpg)

go for an xbox that can get an external hard drive and you can chose how much memory you want a regular console will work fine if you dont leave it on too long, just buy an extra controller and the games you wat and you are set
