Buying a new xbox- however unsure which one.
Comparing the slim and the elite models only.
The slim comes in at 210 with a game [it has a built in wifi adapter and a 250gb harddrive; the game is either crackdown 2, red dead redemption or two others that I am not interested in.
Also this comes with a warranty
The elite comes in at around 130 with no game, just a hard drive and a controller with all cables. No wireless adapter [which I kinda need, to buy seperately they are about £30ish].
So for the elite in total its 130+30+40=200.
Then I might have to buy an extended warranty as I have just realised it may well be preowned 
I have no idea what comes with a super elite which is why I haven't listed.
Now- which of the two should I buy? I can afford both but would like to buy the most sensible one- remember with the elite i'll have to buy a game to play  (For around £40 e.g. crackdown, red dead, MW2].

so £240 for a 2nd hand console that will probably break or £210 for a brand new one that supposidly wont but it doesnt matter because you have warranty.
Toughie that.

you can get one of the brand new design ones for £149 soon, seen them on preorder at GAME, only 4gb though so you need memory sticks
