^ cat do you know how much longer they will be with yours ?

 

no idea...this is killing me!!! you guys are having so much fun and you guys wont let me play!!! im totally telling on you guys!!!

 

dude if you wanna come all the way to cali , ill let you use my extra controller

 

Went to Best Buy...almost pulled the trigger on a 360 but I really don't know anything about this stuff. Is it worth it to get the Elite? ...And what else is needed to get started? There was a whole rack full of accessories to blow $$ on too.

Any buyer's tips for a newbie? [&:]

 

buy it all...you want to give all you money to microsoft...dont be afraid...come join us...come...come...

 

pay the 50 a year for xbox live its worth it

I'd say buy the elite. It's $450 and you'll have enoughGBs to pass down to your children's children. Then, figure out how many friends and family members are going to want to play so you can have enough controlers for everyone. Live requires you to plug into the ethernet spot on your computer, but I think it comes with a 20-25' ethernet cable. Then spend your $50 for the year and you are golden...oh yeah, don't forget the Halo!

P.S. black is very cool

 

Whatever you buy make sure there's lots of warranty for when (not if) that red ring pops up.
[knock wood] my 360 is still going strong since 2005 [/knock wood]

 

also if you have a wireless modem in your house buy the wireless internet adapater.. that way you can play it in any room in the house and dont have to worry about running a huge cable all over the place
