Going to get a 360. Help

[SuperMan]

So i have come round to the idea of a 360 as i am bored of the ps2.

What are must haves for the system? What are the best games and what price should i be looking to pay? Is a HDTV vital?

Can someone explain how the xbox live etc. works to me? Do i need a wireless router?

Any other information you think i need would also be a big help.


Thanks. I will be going to the local stores to get one tomorrow i reckon.

I know there is a lot of information in the sticky but is this a bit dated?

Hi,

you will want to go for a 360 'premium' package, which involves the main console, a 20 gb HDD, Wireless controller, and a headset to use with LIVE(cheaper than buying a core and adding a memory card to save etc etc). You will get a 1 month free trial of LIVE with your premium console.

A few good games to get are, Gears of War, Call of Duty 3, Tom Clancy's Rainbow 6 Vegas, Fifa 07, Pro Evo Soccer 6, Test drive unlimited or PGR3 to name a few!

A HDTV isnt essential but it will improve your gaming experience, You can pick up a 26" samsung now for about £470

Expect to pay between £330-£350 for the premium console with a slection of 4 games a play and charge kit and an extra wireless controller.

COMPETITOR is your best bet in my opinion. Theres a list of which you have to pick 2 games from.

Hope this helps mate, post back with any more questions

EDIT: oh sorry which ever mod had to edit that! didnt even cross my mind, my bad, appologies.
