FINALLY got a 360!

[Xian042]

This past Sunday, I finally stepped into the next (current) generation of gaming. I don't have the cash to spend on the newest systems, so I usually just spend time catching up on games I missed. I was in the middle of Psychonauts and Ico when a deal I couldn't refuse came up;
I been trying to sell / trade an arcade game I bought for $50. It was In The Hunt. I started a couple threads on it before. Well my dads friend offered to take a look at it and fixed the scrolling issue it had. So now it works great. I posted it online for $300 or best offer.
Someone offered a 360, a new version with the HDMI port, a wireless controller, 20g HD, and PDZ and Prey for an even swap. Since I only paid $50 for the unit I juped on it.
Not bad eh? I know Prey is only like $5 bucks right now but I don't think its that bad. I'm not a Perfect Dark fan but whatever.
I borrowed COD 4 and Halo 3. I think Bioshock is going to be my first purchase. I'm dying to play that one. Once we actually get broadband at our house (dial-up still only option, FiOs coming soon!), I'll be on Live.
I used to play Halo 1 LAN games at a friends house every weekend, those died out and I realized while playing Halo 3 last night my dual analong FPS skills are pretty rusty. Don't know how I'll fare on XBL.

anyway,

YAY ME

That's a slick deal.

My favorite games for the system are:

Gears of War 1 and 2
Kameo
Fight Night Round 3
Mega Man 9 (Live Arcade)
Dead Rising

With the exception of Gears, they're all under $30.

Call of Duty 4 on Live. That's all you need to know.

And welcome. Here's hoping you avoid any hardware problems!

What is the born on date of the system you got? The MS warranty is 3 years I believe for RROD.

Congrats, and take my advice: get Fallout 3 immediately.

[SegaAges]

You gotta get crackdown. You can get that for under $20 at any gamestop

You'd better make sure that system hasn't been modded and can still go on live. You don't need a gold account to check it, you can create a silver account and see if you can access the marketplace.

both Banjo Kazooie games is what you need, immediately.
