Xbox360:questions

[wii_cammy]

Hello there I have a number of questions regarding the 360 as I am wanting to purchase one
First of to buyers in the Uk what is the best place to buy one
what store does a good price or should I go to ebay?
And
What accessories if any should I get with it
And last of all the best 3 games to start with

Note I am hoping to get the premium

If you give it until a couple weeks into August, the price looks like it may be dropping $50. And it may just be more than a rumor this time.

Id buy..

1)Gears Of War
2)Elder Scrolls Oblivion
3)Mass effect(When it comes out)

are Halo 3(when it comes out)

the PAL elite is being released (supposedly) on the 27th august for £330 iirc.

hopefully, retailers will drop the price of the premium down by a few quid.

best bet would be to look on gamestations website and see what "bundle"
deals they are doing....i remember at christmas they were offering the best
highstreet price, 5 games (2 mandatory titles and 3 of your choice), 2 wifi
controllers all for £349.
hopefully, they'll do a cheaper bundle to move the premiums and core's off
the shelves.

My vote =
1. Get it off eBay, it's cheaper nonetheless of course.
2. Accessories - another wireless controller for a friend and a wireless headset (my wired one screwed up in a few weeks)
3. Errrrm.. Gears of War, Virtua Tennis 3's good... erm not sure what else 'cause dunno what you like. But loadsa games are coming out soon, such as GTA in October, Halo 3 in... can't remember, but yeah woop

That sucks..

Ah well the game really isn't on my must have list.

Other useful accessories etc..

- Xbox 360 Live 12 Month Gold Account (remember you're allowed up to three free gold accounts once you sign up for xbox live so you don't have to purchase this right away)
- Xbox 360 Cooling Station? May be a useful buy.

Sports Games:

NHL 08
Fifa 08
Madden 08

c'mon paintba||er, you know what i meant!!

But it doesn't use WiFi. I probably wouldn't have posted that, but I was really tired and a little stoned when I did.....

- Xbox 360 Live 12 Month Gold Account (remember you're allowed up to three free gold accounts once you sign up for xbox live so you don't have to purchase this right away)

You can have five free one month trials unless they change it.
