FoC / X-Box advice

[Nigel]

I want to get a second-hand X-Box. Yes, it is mainly so I can play Fall of Cybertron.

Looking around, I see there are different types of consoles (Core, Elite, etc) and with different memory capacities. I know nothing about X-Boxes, so could someone please tell me if I should be looking for any particular model, with particular reference to playing FoC?

Ta very muchly.

Shouldn't make a difference, there was an early release with no hard drive, but other than that one they'll all work with FoC...

Cool, thanks!

The hard drive is mainly for if you want to be downloading loads of games or installing discs so they run slightly faster. If you're only getting it for one game, then don't bother paying out extra. Plus they have USB support these days, so you can get a cheap memory stick and use that instead.

Also, go for the one of the later "slim" models though, as they're less likely to break down and have HDMI outputs.

Later models are also resistant to the fabled 'red ring of death'.
