Although I'll be honest, if I knew the xbox did all that jaz, I would have replaced it with that ages ago.

I got a 5m HDMI cable for my last place
it was fine for connecting my laptop to my TV in the lounge. 10m now, I can arrange the room how I like.

It's an LG something something
My new laptop will have HDMI so that'll do sound as well as picture right?

I'm 95% sure it will, there are a few cases where it might not, but I doubt that'll be the case.
But if you pick up a second hand old 360, then it wouldn't hog up the laptop, no wires around the room, and you'll get access to a much nice/easier system.

Does the 360 have a wireless network card or does it need to be ethernet connected?

The old ones don't but the new ones do, I don't know when they introduced that.

£115 seems to make it a good buy. You can connect one of your hard drives to it

That would be pretty sweet.
I don't want to run a cable over to the telly so wireless would be ace, and I also want a 360 so I can play assassins creed.

Yes. My TV remote has a "source" button
and when the two are connected "HDMI" shows up as an option. Then there's usually some fiddling to stop the TV taking over as the main monitor.
