Ebay isn't dependable enough for something this expensive or for delivery in timely fashion...so can be mailed out for Christmas for the troops.

I've never bought an Xbox before, I want to know where to go and about how much I would have to pay for them and whether everything is included, or if you need to buy extras to use it properly.

And is xbox 360 the latest model or something else?

From the digging I have done the xbox 360 is their new model, apparently it does not launch (in the UK anyway) until 2nd December - but you probably get it before in the States.

The above are UK details but it mentions Amazon so it is worth checking out the US Amazon site for any offers.

The link I gave also explains what the package includes

According to this article it launches in North America on 22nd November 2005
