360 Question .. Tommorow = Wii360 Owner

Okay, tommorow is the day I finally will purchase a Xbox 360 and my Wii becomes Wii360. Anyways, that wasn't the reason I came here. I wanted to ask a few questions about the Xbox 360?

First off, I heard a great deal of talk about systems breaking down and having to be replaced a great deal.. Is that really trust, or is the so called sitution greater than what it is, and mainly presented on the fact that only who having the problems posting and being counted as the major stats. That was one that the worried me is having to buy a system and it clunking out so much and having to constantly get a new one or send it in, whatever..

Second, aside from that, what would be a good starter package game. I know there are a ton of great games out there and just not sure what would be system seller, or should I said time consumer. I hear Gears of Wars [even tho I think its a great game by thread viewing, eventhou thought it was overrrated but not in the way its not a great game. Would that be one to buy my first 360 game, I won't have Xbox Live right away [unless I do pressed down a 50 sooner or later.. But I will eventually.] Would that be the first game getter? I also was interested in the following games; Dead Rising, Viva Pinata, maybe TC's Rainbow 6: Vegas [not sure yet on that one], Lost Planet [I enjoyed the demo and wanting to get this game].. I would said Oblivion, but I dunno, I have it on PC, just unable to play it at the moment, but I probably get a update my PC sooner or later.. so it might be foolish to get it on both.. Any suggestions?

Third, how likely will MGS4 get ported onto the 360?

I've heard of many consoles bricking and biting it; However, in perspective to the larger number of owners out there it seems abysimal to say the least. It should hold up well, and I say this since I have had mine since launch just take care of it like any other product you own.

Games now in the that respect I looked at what you were interested in, and I'd say TC: Rainbow Six Vegas would be a great choice. Dead Rising get repetitive. Viva Pinata is a solid surprisingly good game. Gears immersive multiplayer somewhat lackluster first player. Oblivion I wouldnt buy it for the console when you own it on PC. If your into simulation games I would say check out Table Tennis by Rockstar it's well put together and $25. I would also have to say if you are into tactial shooters check out GRAW it has dropped significantly in price I heard $20. Those are a few choices in my mind.
