Advantages: Cheap now.
Disadvantages: No hardrive
Style
------
A sleek biconcave design, almost entirely white with some grey on each end. Unlike its bigger brother, the premium, this console has a white disk tray. But to be honest it doesnt look any different from my premium, I mean who really cares for a silver disk tray!
Accessories
--------
The console comes with all the accessories of the better versions but lacks the ethernet cable needed to connect to live. Not to worry though as you can do as I did and collect one from your local electronics store for about £5. Most noticably there is no hardrive with this console, instead it comes with a small memory card.
If your a serious gamer you really should get a hard drive, these can be picked up for about £30 second hand now so its a bargain!
Gameplay
-----------
The games on this console are amazing and the graphics are superb even on a non HD tv. There are many exclusive games to the xbox including Halo 3, my personal favourite!
Price
--------------
At just £129 this console had to be worth a try while my Premium was broken! Although if you dont have a hard drive you will have to spend £30 or so on one which would make this more expensive than the premium.
Summary
-------
If you dont have enough to get one of the other Xbox 360's then this one is fine for simple gameplay. You only need a hardrive if you want to download lots of music and demos!
Summary: A good cheap console for people on a budget
