So I'm pretty much sure i'm getting an 360 for Christmas. I think it's the $199 Arcade system. I don't think that one comes with any games. right?

Will I need any accessories or anything else I should get for it?

I was also thinking of signing myself up for Gamefly so I can have some different games to play after Christmas. Any recommendations for a 360 newbie?

I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND getting xbox live other wise you will not really enjoy it to it's full potential.So you would need a hard drive,a wireless adapter if you have wi-fi and your xbox is far from your router.MMMMM Gamefly.....well good luck :D

XBL is a must. Also you'll probably get the game Hexic if it's an arcade model. Fun for a while, but more games are definitely a must.

Also, @ BlackMagic I think there was a site update that's causing all these problems with quoting and such. Jackson should be aware of this already and looking for a fix.

Quote by Durtie:


You will need a harddrive asap for it. I had my 20 gb for years, so if you're stressed on money, a 20gb will do just fine in the beginning. I would also recommend a wireless adapter if you're not near your router. That way you can game online. Also, if you plan on gaming online, I would recommend a 12 month gold membership card. That way we can game with you to get that gamerscore up. Gamefly is awesome and crappy. When they actually send games, I'm happy, but sometimes there is lag in the delivery. All in all, I recommend you get it, at the end of the day, I'm glad I signed up.

Also, if ya want to build your gamerscore fast, you should check out meta's waffle list, its has a bunch of fun games with easy points. Hope that helped, here is the link too.

Not sure why the link isn't working.....but just copy and paste if ya have to, :p



Dont put the url code thing:D

sweet thanks for all the recommendations guys. I plan on running an ethernet cable because I've heard wifi is no good for gaming. I'll add the a hd and headset to my list. 20gb should be enough??

im also going to try and subtly suggest xbl and gamefly gift cards and see how that goes. otherwise I might just buy the gift card for myself since it looks like a better deal than paying monthly. a year gamefly card knocks 20% off the total price according to http://www.gamefly.com/Gift-Certificate

I guess next step will be building my gamerscore, the waffle thread is awesome thanks for linkin to it, great resource.
