I Need Your Advice!!

Don't worry about the RROD, that was fixed while they were still making the old phat ones. It's just the really old ones that did that. Shouldn't be an issue with a new one.

The 250GB HDD is really a must have. You should decide on if the Kinect is going to be a nice toy for you and yours, or if it's a useless gimmick. Some people will love it, and others won't dig it at all. I still haven't got one personally. But they are quite expensive to buy as a stand alone, I think they are cheaper in bundles. As far as I can tell, they make the user interface nicer, and they are nice for social/party games and for kids. And there's kinect voice command support for Skyrim, which looks interesting.

i saw a special at makro the other day where they had an xbox with 250 Gb hardrive with 3 games and an extra remote.. i'd show it to u on their website but its currently not showing any tech stuff on there at the moment.. :/

Why don't you just wait for the next-gen consoles?

make sure you get one of the newer matte black 250 gig revisions, the glossy one is more prone to scratches and fingerprint smears ! the old 360's had hybrid hd cables but the new ones only come with a standard rca lead. new 360's dont rrod, they shut themselves down when they overheat. make sure you also get a play nd charge kit as it will be needed.

which will only stabilize 3 years into their hardware cycle ! never buy consoles @ launch

Thanks for all the replies folks, Ok so I have things down to a "T" and obviously grabbing the 250gig.

As for the Kinect, I am pretty certain that it will be apart of a package I purchase as my budget is going to be R3000 and I've seen a couple deals with Kinect at R2600.

So I'll keep you all posted on my findings.

Thanks peeps, much obliged!!

Well I just figured I would ask everyone, obviously I'm gonna ask you about the little extras. I need to really think about this since I don't have money to just throw around like wild fire.

Kinect is cool, don't seem to be any games for mature audiences yet but the tech is amazing. Im sure you know this too but just incase: Be sure to get an XBL Gold subscription.
