Advantages: the best online community ever! Disadvantages: the playstation 3 is free for online play
On purchasing an xbox 360 console you are given a free months xbox live gold membership which can be used once for each xbox live account that is created.

What is Gold Membership?:
When you create an xbox live account on your xbox 360 there are several different things you have to do. You at first have to input your email address and password in order to verify the account.

Advantages: Delicious, Fairly traded, better for you than cadburys Disadvantages: unusual, some may not like, slightly pricier than cadburys

It will still make you fat if eaten in large quantities, but the general idea is that you need less of this chocolate to get you cocoa fix anyway!
Also cocoa is believed to be excellent for raising your serotonin levels (happy hormone) and cheering you up.
