bought a 360 today! cant wait to play!

[Deep]

i had £140 worth of points at the place where you rent films, i thought about ps3 but only the 40gb was around so took the plunge for a 360 premium.

I bought the premium with Fifa 08, Halo 3 and a choice between assasian creed or kane and lynch. i choose assassians creed.

For an extra £20 i got a wireless controller (official) and 2 games! Forza 2 and Viva pinata.

Now here is where it gets even better, the forza and VP are "bundle" games, so are designed differently, but they didnt have VP in stock so they gave me VP on its on, but they gave me the wrong one, they gave me the newest VP not the first one, which is worth £34.99.

Im gonna sell fifa 08, forza and VP2. dont want them anyway.

i paid £178 in total! bargain

What games shall i get, and is the HD dvd add on any good? i have a decent hd tv so might consider it!

dead rising for £15 a must
PGR3 for cheap, if you want get pgr4, better but more £££
Cod4 although I ain't played it has got rave reviews
Orange box if you haven't already played PC version
Fight Night 3 can be had for cheap
Skate, my personal game of the year
Gears of war

Imo games to avoid
Halo 3 , severe let down
PES 2008

mass effect , condemed for a cheap but great game.

 

[Kainz]

I mis-read the first sentence there and thought you said you BOUGHT £140 worth of MS Points!

Get Mass Effect ASAP if you like RPG's - Imo it's a must for any 360 owner.
Gears of War for co-op fun
Dead Rising for it's sheer FMV and atmosphere, plus the best boss ever (Stephen)
Condmned - Very scary horror title

also what is the best way to connect it to my tv? i think a component cable came with it

 

[insane200]

scart is the best if you only have that, other wise composite. try to get the official leads as there suposed to be better quality.

 

[Deep]

would hdmi be better as i have a hdmi port on the tv?

 

[Mr Men]

You will love it, get PG4 and COD4 to see the best of the console IMO

 

[Nymins]

Imo games to avoid
Halo 3 , severe let down
PES 2008

Really wouldn't recommend avoiding Halo 3. The singleplayer isn't the best, but the multiplayer is one of the best out there.

would hdmi be better as i have a hdmi port on the tv?

What ports do you have?

It's generally component - VGA - HDMI in terms of quality.

 

[Deep]

have all 3 on the tv, will get a hdmi lead soon then, as i want to get the hd dvd add on.

i saw that you can get 5 free hd dvds aswell if you buy the add on!! but £100 is a bit pricy

I'd take advantage of the HDMI on your TV yeah.

hdmi it then, and 5 free hd dvd is a good deal as that'll work out to be around 100 notes alone i would have thought.

IMO of course, though I can easily see why people would recommend it

 

[Kreeeee]

You mean HDMI > VGA > Component right?

 

[suarve]

Not a bad deal that.

 

[Zheka]

Get Rainbow 6 Vegas, one of the best games on 360

 

[Deep]

[insane200]

[Gackt]

If you only buy one game, get Mass Effect.

Seriously.
