    Finally got it!


    Spent the morning tinkering with my new gift from my woman, the Xbox 360. She got me the Pro version. So I was wondering what else should I get? I have Ultimate Alliance/Forza 2, as well as three controllers for my buddies. Oh yeah, she got the extended warranty too. I'm so lucky :wink:

    So what games/accessories would you recommend for someone who's just starting? I'm gonna pick up an XBL subscription sometime this week.

    plug-n-play rechargeable battery pack. Otherwise you'll spend a fortune on new double-As every week.

      Or just get a pack of rechargeable batteries if you have a charger already.

      If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)

        If you get live get Call Of Duty 4. By far best online game you need. Amazing storyline even if you dont want online.

          Yeah dude, CoD4 is the way to go. I've never had so much fun playing an FPS before. That is, offline and online.

          Not to mention the graphics are stunning.

            COD4 is well worth the money. I think its only $39.99 now.

                They're both great games but to be honest if I were in your shoes I'd run to the store and get Oblivion over either of those, then pick those up later when you see them marked down or on sale somewhere.

                  I'm not big on RPGs. I'm thinking I'll pick up COD 4, Halo 3, and The Orange Box on my next trip. As well as the play and charge kit.

                    Don't you think that's a bit too FPS heavy? It would be for me. I'd def. get COD4 but try to get some other game types rather than just more FPS.

                      You really cant go wrong with any of the games you picked. Depends on what you like, really. I'd go with Halo 3 or COD 4, IMO.

                        For this week only, you can get COD4 from Best Buy.

                              Hahaha... so I've heard.

                              One thing is for sure... thanks for the heads-up... $20 off COD4 this week means I'm making a trip to Best Buy probably tomorrow.

                              I may hold off on the Orange Box for now too... anybody have CHoops? What do you think?
