Ordered... Will be here tomoz.... 

Check and see if gamepass is available for the 360 once you get set up, there is usually a trial offer of £1 for the first month which may keep you occupied for a while.

It is this one! 







It will prolly be cupboardware after the first month...

Assuming you don't end up with the red ring of death beforehand..

Of course that may be because it convinced you to upgrade to a Series X machine for a mere €600

Seems like you've got a low cost sample it and see week or two

Nope - checked it out and no red ring of death!

Console, controller and a pile of games for €80... Worth a punt I reckon....

It was these initially but he is going to throw a couple more in....






If you have any recommendations he has a squillionteen of them for ~€10 each... 

[Grumpmeister]

What sort of games do you enjoy playing? Just so I can narrow down the list.

Those dancing ones obvs.



I dunno really, I tend to be rubbish at all of them...

Okay, R6 Vegas2 is a decent tactical shooter. Assassins Creed 2 is well worth playing, especially if that version has the extra content as well.

Ok I've widened the list I gave earlier as well as giving you an idea of what each game is about.

Skyrim (especially with all the DLC) - Open World Fantasy Role Playing Game
Fallout 3 (especially with all the DLC) - Post Apocalyptic Open World Role Playing Game
Fallout New Vegas (especially with all the DLC) - Post Apocalyptic Open World Role Playing Game
Dead space 1 & 2 - Science Fiction Survival Horror
Assassins Creed Black Flag - Assassins and pirates. Plunder the seas with your own ship along side legends like Blackbeard
Xcom: Enemy Unknown/Within - Turn based strategy against alien invaders. Cryssalids are utter bastards.
Red Dead Redemption - Open World Wild West Role Playing Game. The zombie DLC was amusing as well.
GTA V - Open World modern criminal Role Playing Game. The online map can be both irritating as hell and great fun at the same time.
Batman Arkham Asylum - You are playing Batman, what more needs to be said 
Fable 1, 2 & 3 - Quirky Fantasy Role Playing Games
Deus Ex Human Revolution - One of the all time greats. Distopian future shock Role Playing Game
Forza Motorsport 4 - Tinker with and drive some of the most desirable Fast cars on the planet
Borderlands 2 - If your three favorite things on the entire planet are guns, toilet humor, and min/maxing RPG stats, then Borderlands 2 is a dream come true
Portal - A puzzle game that will drive you around the bend. Actually get the Orange box and you get Portal, Half Life 1 and 2 and as well as a bunch of other games.
Bioshock - Strange twisted survival horror shooter

Possibly Destiny as well, depending on what kind of offer you get for the extra content.

Top Man! 

There are squillions available cheap here - I bet the local charity shop has them too.... 

Do you get 'fake' games that don't werk...?

The 360 does have built in anti piracy soft/hardware so your usual supplier of dodgy discs is probably not going to be any good in this case. The protection can also block games with the wrong region code in some cases.

I forgot about the Crysis series, a pretty good trilogy of science fiction shooters. The first game is still infamous as being so graphically overpowered the top end PC hardware available when it was first released wasn't good enough to run it at full spec. 

I'm in 2 minds whether to recommend Far Cry 3 to you. It's a good game but it's seriously twisted in parts.

If you enjoy Assassins Creed 2 then AC Brotherhood and AC Revelations complete Ezio's story.

Excellent! 


Also, I need a game that I can pretend I haven't played before but then thrash an eleven year old....

Best of luck with that

I still want a pin ball machine but god knows where I'd put it (no unkind suggestions please)

Bah!

I want a pinball machine too...

Had plenty of room I  the the house but never saw any for sale (See Also: Bar Billiards Tables).

Now I don't have room there is a guy here that refurbishes and sells them on BookFace almost every week!
