Its one month old, used but the seller garenteers that half the package has not been open (and i trust him)

Got no games at the moment but i couldn't resist saying no to the seller. Will buy Burnout Paradise very soon and go online.

So, question is.....Do you have any advice when i have an xbox 360?

Loads of my Friends and family has an 360 but this is my first. Should i prepare myself and buy one of those external coolers so it doesn't overheat?
 
The coolers actually do more damage than good. Just make sure it is not on the floor and well ventilated.
 
If he dies, he dies. Don't waste your money on coolers.

Just don't be ignorant to launch games, there's a few gems people have missed simply because they were late to the party and look at new games first.
 
Get Dead Rising, i bought my 360 a few days ago and bought this a day after, simple beats most games out yet.

Yeah when i borrowed my uncles 360 to play while he was on holiday, we rented out Dead Rising for 2 nights for £5! and they were selling them pre-owned for £20:mad:

Ok, will keep it well ventilated, no fan blowing on it? And wont buy external fans for it....
 
I've been thinking of getting another Xbox 360 recently, it would be a huge luxury to have 2 of these consoles but if the Arcade ones can be had so cheaply then its more of an option.

To the OP I'd echo the thoughts of others that a hard drive would be a very important addition as it allows you to download content, go online and save more games.
 
Thanks for the input, will get some games very soon.

Another question, a load of my mates are on COD4 for the Xobx, i have it for the PC and its awesome. However i'm a keyboard and mouse player and want to know if there is anything avaliable on the market that lets me play with a keyboard and mouse.


The best thing i can find on google is

Buts only a prototype.
 
Get a HDD and get Dead Rising :)

You can (presumably) pick up a hard drive on the cheap these days, seeing as a lot of people have probably upgraded to the 120GB one and will be selling their 20GB.

Almost all of us here have been PC keyboard/mouse fps players with many (myself included) proclaiming they'd never get used to it.

Fact: Play through the campaign again on Veteran (or if you must Hardened) with the controller and you'll be set for life.

Can you just whack one of the hard drives straight onto an Arcade?

Currently weighing up my options for GTA4. Really don't want either of the consoles but i can't wait the extra 5/6 months for GTA4. :(
