4.0 out of 5 stars
A great add on for arcade owners.,

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: 60 GB LIVE Starter Kit - Includes 60 GB Hard Drive, Xbox LIVE Gold 3-Month Membership, Headset, Network Cable (Xbox 360) (Video Game)
If, like me, you bought an Xbox Arcade set because it was cheap and you thought you didn't need the hard drive and all the online equipment but then played Halo/Call of Duty/Fable II etc online and fell in love with world wide gaming then this set is perfect. The 60gb hard drive is easy to install and use and is fine for anyone who plays on a regualr basis but has other things in their life as well besides gaming. The ethernet cable is a handy addition and the three months gold membership is a really nice touch. The only problem I have is the headset, it has a 2.5mm jack and works when I give it a touch of WD40 or switch cleaning fluid but if I don't do this every couple of days I get a lot of crackling. I'm not the only person to have had this problem but apparently Microsoft are good at replacing stuff like this.
So, if you want good value hardware then you could do a lot worse than this.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A good buy for Xbox 360 Arcade owners,
By Steve B (UK) - See all my reviews
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: 60 GB LIVE Starter Kit - Includes 60 GB Hard Drive, Xbox LIVE Gold 3-Month Membership, Headset, Network Cable (Xbox 360) (Video Game)
This is good value for Arcade owners looking to experience some of the other things that the 360 can do. All 360 games apart from one or two can be played without a hard drive, but with this 60GB hard drive you can do the following: -
1. Install games. Apart from 1 or 2 older titles, any disc based game can be installed to the hard drive. This leads to slightly faster loading times in most cases, a reduction in noise (as there's no disc spinning in the drive), and less wear and tear on the system. The game disc still has to be in the drive to prove that you own the game, but it doesn't spin up at all during play. Installs take up to 11 minutes and can be deleted at any time, so you can go back to playing the game from the disc if you want to make space on the hard drive. 2. Download content from Xbox Live. Whether you pay for a Gold subscription or not, you have access to a ton of content on Xbox Live. There are Xbox Live Arcade games (all of which have a demo), demos of many of the disc based games, original Xbox games, add-ons and downloadable content for games (and a fair bit of it is free), new themes and gamer pics, game videos, plus movie and TV show rentals, a lot of which have a HD option. 3. Rip CDs to the hard drive. You can rip audio CDs and then play the songs while you're playing games, replacing the audio from the game but not the sound effects. It also gives you more room for game saves and multiple gamertags. The hard drive just clips to the side of the 360, so fitting it is dead simple. You can actually clip it to any 360, so you can take it round to a mate's house and clip it to their console if you want to play a downloaded game at their house for example, although you will need to be signed into Xbox Live to access certain content if you do that. The rest of the kit is designed to get you up and running on Xbox Live. The ethernet cable connects the console to your router (or modem) so you can get Live access, and the headset plugs into the bottom of the controller so you can chat to friends or chat to other people that are playing the same game as you. You also get 3 months of Xbox Live Gold which is worth about 13 quid. If you like Xbox Live, the cheapest way to extend your account is with a 12+1 month card which can be bought online for £25-£30. Subscribing through the Xbox itself is actually the most expensive way, so avoid that if you can. For those wondering what the difference between Xbox Live Silver and Gold is, Gold gives you the following: - 1. Online play 2. Video chat 3. Access to demos and other content 7 days before Silver users 4. An occasional freebie XBLA game or theme So if you're not interested in online gaming, you could sell the 3 months of Live and you can still maintain a friends list, voice chat with your friends, and have access to all of the content mentioned above. It's also worth mentioning that game patches/fixes are installed via Xbox Live too. If an update is available you're prompted automatically to install it before the game starts. Without being connected to Live, you'll never receive these updates and patches. You cannot copy files to the hard drive, so you can't put your own videos or photos on there, and you can only put music on it by ripping CDs, but if you connect the console to your router, you will be able to stream audio, video (including DivX and Xvid files) and photos that are stored on your computer's hard drive straight to your TV. If you have Windows Media Center or Vista, you can use the 360 as a full media extender. Unless you plan on downloading a ton of content from Live, or unless you want to install as many of your disc based games as possible, I think the 60GB hard drive gives plenty of room for most users. So yeah - If you have an Xbox Arcade and you want to see what Xbox Live is all about, this is the kit for you.
