OMG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I did the wedding photos for a friend 3 weeks ago as a favour, they love the photos and got me a 360 Premium as a present ! He just dropped it off now, and I am Ooooooooooooover the moon




I have a few questions thou.

1 - It didn't come with a headset, can i just get one off the shelf and it'll work?

2 - What charger kit should i get? Plug and play seems to be the prefer one i've heard.

3 - X-box live, will I have trouble getting on to it because its a 2nd hand one? I am going to get my own Gold membership. It also doesn't come with a network cable, I take it i can use a generic Cat 5 one?

4 - And what games do you guys play I plan to get PES 8 next week and PGR4 when it comes out.

5 - It comes with a component cable, and a HD in the box and 1 pad. What else should I get?

Yep, though if you need gold as well, I'll point you to something in Q3

Play and charge kit is essential, £9.99 at dvd.co.uk

No trouble with Live, just create a new profile when you fire it up. As for gold, it's £35 RRP and the headset is about £15... so £50. Do yourself a favour and get this:

http://www.play.com/Games/Xbox360/4-...n/Product.html

You'll get 12 months gold, your headset, the webcam, 3 arcade games and 200 MS points for the same price

Other than a play and charge kit, you dont need anything else really. I have the media remote (because I play a lot of media through it), and a VGA cable but they're only if you need them.

As for the games question, I'll let the multiplayer folk field that one

Oh, and buy Guitar Hero. Grats on the 360

I think I saw maybe three or four people before I died over the whole three maps we played, I'd be looking for them using the map as best I could and then *bang* headshot and I was dead. It gets very frustrating after a while (plus I'm tired).

sorry to hear that if you fancy it tomorrow we should be playing again and there was good communication so I think you'd enjoy it more. There is nothing more frustrating than a headshot out of nowhere

Thanks Daz, just got another 360 pad off dvd.co.uk, will get the pack thing off play soon. Going to get the plug and play in town tomorrow since I can't even use it right now without it, so can't wait til saturday (may be even next monday) for it to arrive.

Get yourself Gears of War, Bioshock, Dead Rising, Oblivion and Forza 2, and they'll easily last you around 200 hours. Not to mention all the potentially amazing games due out before the end of the year

Oh, and the HL2 Orange Box is out soon. I'm sure the boat will be there for you this time
