Build one, you will get far better for your money than anything you would buy for the same price.

Thats what i was saying earlier, but i someone said it wouldn't make a difference.
I'll have a look later and price everything up then i think.

If you had a budget of £500 you could get some mediocre media PC from PC world, building your own would get you a decent spec rig if it's just the tower and components you're after.

I'd rather pay the extra and have a PC tbh, much better than any console available.

Sorry I am £12 off.
Console + 20GB Hard drive = £109.99
http://www.gamestation.co.uk/Consoles/Xbox-360/Pre-owned-Xbox-360-20GB-Console/~r415989/
HDMI Lead = £1.99 from Tesco (Might even be 99p tbh)
Still a shit load cheaper than a PC

Power pack for controller - <£10 and not necessary
HDMI lead - Only Elite needs this (IIRC)
Wireless adaptor (if needed) - N/A
not really that cheap is it.
And thats me, defending an Xbox. Rare sight indeed.

yea but nath, the xbox arcade doesnt come with HDD or Mic, and you DO need a HDMI cable or it looks shite.
i agree tho you get more from that £200 than you would if you spent it on a PC.

You can get preowned Premiums for less than £100 tbh.
And Component on the right TV looks alright.
But yeah, value for money you just cant knock a console. Better or not. I'd love to have a big gaming set up PC, but just dont have the room.
