You can get the hard drive for around $50-$80 on eBay.

There are also a bunch of deals for wireless controllers during the christmas season. I love my xbox.

Save an extra 2.5% if you use the redirect link to Overstock.com that bacon provides you. I bought 2 domains from Godaddy and earned cash back in my account and waited 2 months to test if they are really going to make a payout. They just paid me a few days ago on time too.

$280-10% with promote code - 2.5% with bacon redirect link + $3 shipping = $248.70 shipped

Save an extra 2.5% - bacon bacon/crumbs/landing.do?r=cashgen&s=1254 doesn't cost anything to join.

the place i mention is a great place dunno why it was filtered.

I'll trade you an xbox 360 for a wii...

Never. You'll get bored with the Wii unless you have kids < 10 years old or you are one.

Totally agree #5. I've had a Wii since July. I don't have kids and I almost never played it. Bought a 360 on black friday and I can barely put the controller down.

this one is great for kids.. if you are buying for yourself then get the pro or elite

I never play my wii. Not sure what the hype is all about.

How much more is it for a pro vs regular vs elite?

Seriously, why would you post that question? Have you been spoon fed your whole life or what?

I have been playing Super Mario Galaxy, and it's pretty fun. Also have bacon-lust Corruption which is a lot of fun. I think the interface is great. Xbox is definitely for more hardcore gamers. I just don't have that much time to devote to gaming anylonger. The Wii suits me more, YMMV.

#6,8, then you should sell your Wiis...get some nice cash for your holiday shopping! or have some kids instead!

Try consumerdepot.com for a 20g hard drive or an 80g. They had the 20g for $40 last Friday.

My mistake it was the 120g for $99.99 and the 20g for $39.99. Here are the links:

Am I correct that you CANNOT simply add a hard drive to this without doing something fancy?

The hard drive snaps onto the side.

Right, but can I just use any old hard drive that is the right size and interface?
