~!@Getting a 360@!~

[englandman66]

My Birthday is the 18th of October and I'm buying myself a 360.

 

 

 

Few Questions...

 

 

 

1. Should I buy an Elite or a normal one? (Price doesn't matter)

 

2. Should I get Xbox Live?

 

3. What are the top 10 360 Only Games? (Except Halo 3)

 

4. Any nessicary accesories?

 

 

 

Thanks

1. If price REALLY does not matter and you feel you might need the extra space, get Elite. Also, seeing as how you say price does not matter, just go for the one you think looks best, you can always just buy the 120gb hard drive.

 

2. This all depends on what games you plan on playing. If you plan on games like Halo 3, Gears of War, and other games that are more mullti-player based, definitly. If you're just going to play single player the whole, it obviously isn't worth it. What actually pushed me to get Live (And a 360, for that matter), was the fact that I know a ton of people who have one. So base it off what you play and then whether you're friends have it.

 

3. I couldn't say, there's too many games, and then there's also some original Xbox games.

 

4. Nothing absolutely neccesary that doesn't come with the system, but a play&charge kit is recommended, you go through batteries like crazy.

 

And don't forget a T.V. and electricity :wink:

Thanks for the response.

 

 

 

I plan on playing halo and gow so im guessing live would be a good idea.

 

 

 

I already have an xbox orginal I was just gunna buy live but then i was like

 

 

 

"360 FTW?"

I would reccomend reading my post if you're going to buy one. Actually, I highly reccomend it.

[Ben1993]

Yeah, get Xbox Live. :D

 

Xbox 360 elite if u want too: watch movies, listen too music, download demo's, etc. I strongly recomend ELITE, cause when u get the Xbox, it automaticly uses 15 gigabyte :wall: so yeah, more like 5 gigabyte Xbox'es And ELITE has 105gig then

 

Get elite.

 

Games... Errr... Yeah, no naming Halo 3? Dang... I got no other games too say :-w

 

Oh and if u dont have a router etc. close to ur Xbox, i recomend The wireless thingy for xbox 360 >_> I've only heard bad stuff about the intercooler :ohnoes:

For games, try these in order of potential:

 

Halo 3, Mass Effect, Call of Duty 4 Gears of War, Bioshock, Assassin's Creed, Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion, Rock Band, Blue Dragon and Eternal Sonata.

 

 

 

Those are the 10 (excluding Halo 3) best games that came to mind. Mind you, there are dozens of good games that will appeal to you, just a matter of looking up what you want.

 

 

 

Get the play/charge kit, the cheapest one you can find. The air cooler is also good, but its loud and not very necessary. Look up the various wireless apparels too.

Get Prey. Sweet game.

[Screams]

Get elite if you got the money

 

Get x box live for sure

 

Gears of war the only good game i played :(

[Nadril]

I would just get the normal xbox, although price doesn't matter so may as well get the elite.

 

 

 

Xbox live is a definite yes.

 

 

 

 

 

Hmm.. top 10 games IMO:

 

 

 

(in no order)

 

 

 

- Bioshock

 

- Gears of War

 

- skate

 

- Oblivion

 

- Assassins creed (Coming soon)

 

- Mass effect (coming soon)

 

- CoD 4 (almost out)

Theres a lot of amazing games coming out in the next few months for the system.

[Bloodredsword]

I would reccomend reading my post if you're going to buy one. Actually, I highly reccomend it.

 

 

 

Is yours the post about the warping HD? If so...definitely read his post!

 

 

 

 

 

If price doesn't matter, go for the elite. As for the top 10 games...heres what I would say:

 

 

 

Bioshock

 

Gears of War

 

Oblivion!

 

Rainbow Six Vegas

 

Fight Night 3

 

LOTR: BFME

 

Call of Duty 4

 

Strangelhold(I'm not sure if others like it...but I love it)

 

Shadowrun

 

Assasins Creed(OMG, JUST WATCH THE TRAILER AND YOU'LL BE HOOKED)

 

 

 

Those are my picks...and what I would buy asap if I got a 360(which I really would like, how bout you just give me yours)

[Bloodstain]

Don't bother with the elite, you will NEVER need that much space unless you mod your box and dl games.

 

 

 

Yes, get live, it owns

 

 

 

Get CoD 2 is a must, CoD 4 will also be a must. Oblivion is a great rpg as well, one player only though, Bioshock is also an amazing one player first person shooterish game.

 

 

 

Get a mic for online

 

 

 

Get an extended warranty or something if you can, because it will most likely break eventually

 

 

 

Oh, and a tip, NEVER change the 360s position from lying horizontal to standing vertical or vice versa with a disc in or it will scratch it :-w Oh...but if you do scratch it, go to ebay games and buy another copy and get the 1 year warranty, switch the new disc in the case with the scratched one, return it a few days later and claim it was scratched when you bought it (used). Then you have 2 copies or 1 copy and another game \

[foxbat9]
