Well, tommorow im getting en Xbox then Thursday once i get my paycheck im gonna be buying more games and accessories and shit. Got a couple questions though:

  • Should i wait till my free month of live is up to buy new time?
  • How much is the adapter for wifi gonna cost me? (I cant run a wire to my computer)
  • What are some recommended games? (Currently on the list is;CODMW2 and Gears of War 2)
  • Anyone have gamertag suggestions?
Thanks guys!
 
Oh man, Grats. You'll never turn back once you buy an Xbox.

• Yes, or no. You are getting the same amount of time either way.

• Well, when I had boughten mine at Walmart, they were around $100. The price has probably dropped since then, so you're looking at about $75+

• Definitely MW2, and Gears of War 1. I was in 10+ of the best sniping clans in the world in GOW. We definitely should play together sometime. Mainly, the Call of Duties, Gears of War 1 and 2. Resident Evil 5 is an amazing Game also. If you are into sports, I definitely suggest getting NHL 10. Best Hockey game i've ever played in my life.

• Well, choose a GT you would like. I remember me and you having a nice chat a while back, and you said you had Skated? Well, I'd choose something like myself dealing with a Skateboarding Brand. e.x. My old GT was: K IR IE W

$75 dang, yeah for the GT skating or swimming is a good idea, thanks mate. :)
 
Acutally the wifi is still 100$, never goes down. You should just buy the new Xbox 360 with built in wifi, but its 300$. I'd say get the new xbox instead of paying for a new xbox for 200$ and buying a 100$ wireless piece cause new xbox has 250gb hard drive.

No problem Luke. (:

But yeah man, unfortunately the wireless routers are about that price depending on your walmart/gamestop etc. might even be more, actually. :l

It's worth it in the end though.

And once you set everything up, you should PM your GT. ;p
 
Perhaps I could sell you one rather cheap? where do you live luke?

*Yes
* I don't know, i've never hooked up wifi for an xbox but I could easily figure out if you really need it
* What are some recommended games? (Currently on the list is;CODMW2 and Gears of War 2) Cod, MW2, Red dead redemption, I haven't been into the gaming scene in a while though - Just going by what my brother has told me.
* Anything that isn't xxHEADSHOTPWNAGExx

I made my GT a long time ago and it's my first + last name. It's terrible but better than those xx ix pwnage headshot xx xi gamertags, lol

USA, PA.
Yeah those IX XI's are terrible.
 
Buy it straight away, it is worth it.

Depends on the place you purchase it from

Halo 3



You could buy a adapter on ebay if you want it a little cheaper
 
Eh I don't own an XBox, but I do PC play games a lot so I can recommend you some. Not sure if all of these are available for XBox but whatever. Some of them aren't out yet.

Battlefield Bad Company 2
Assassin's Creed
Assassin's Creed 2
Mass Effect
Call of Duty Black Ops
Tom Clancy's HAWX
Mass Effect 2
Mirror's Edge
Just Cause 2
Splinter Cell Conviction
Crysis 2 (it's not out yet, but will be in around December 2010)
Borderlands
Need For Speed Hot Pursuit (2010)
Colin McRae DiRT 2
Left 4 Dead 2

Eh, I think I forgot some, just ask if you want moar.
 
Make sure you don't move it when it's got a disc inside spinning. You can burn the disc, and render it useless.

Okay, here goes...
-Yes, wait until it's up until you buy it. You never know, you might not like it. Be warned though, you are likely to be pretty bad on Xbox Live when you start off, because the Gameplay is VERY different to the campaign.

-I got mind for about 40 GBP preowned. They are fairly cheap now. You can also run an ethernet cable straight to your computer, and use that as an adapter (Youtube it).

-Call of Duty: World at War, Just Cause 2

-Choose something original and interesting.
 
Oh, btw skate 3 and MW: Black ops is coming out real soon in a couple months. I would pre-order them ASAP! Best games..
 
I would rather you wait and buy one of the new XBox. It has built in Wifi, no RROD, and it automatically shuts off if it overheats to cause no damage to the system. It's also faster. I suggest you get that instead.
