I'll answer three and four. Good games are COD4, mass effect, assassin's creed, dead rising, Bioshock, and Halo3, Crackdown and Gears is really just preference. Some like it, some don't. And Forza2 and Ultimate alliance are great games.

1- I don't know, maybe buy the Halo 3 edition

2- Mine has been perfect, but I bought the Fan stand from Pelican, and keep it in an open area to keep it cool with good air flow

3- That really depends on what you like, Gears or War is awesome, but alot of the games I can recommend are depandant on if you like that type of game, Like Test Drive Unlimited, I played the hell out of that game, but some people don't like it.

4- Forza 2 is awesome, for me, I loved Gran Tourismo, and I love Forza because it takes it to a new level with FULL customization, and car damage, which makes a BIG diffrence

Enjoy your 360, it is one of my favorite consoles of all time, right behind the Dreamcast, easily the best games so far this gen

Some people with the Halo 3 edition recieved the RRoD within 3 hours of play time. ROFL!

If that is true, I guess its good then that I bought the normal Halo 3 rather than the special edition or something like that.

i dont think RRoD is as prevalent as it seems..... i dont know anyone in RL who has got it, and all my friends have the first builds, as do i. the only place i have really heard of it happening lots is forums like this, where people post when it happens, and which thousands of people use..... Mass Effect is REALLY good, but it's a hybrid rpg/fps, so if you arent into one of those it might not be as great. Halo 3 is awesome for online, less so for single player. Crackdown is really fun, but only really worth it if you have a friend to play with. Bioshock is brilliant, but only worth a couple of plays, because its so story based and linear. Forza is the best racing game i've played, but im not really into them, so *shrug*. the customisation is great tho. Gears is excellent, i think you should definitely at least rent it, every 360 owner should play it. it might not be for you tho.

1. I do not think the Xbox 360 Premium Holiday bundle has the "Falcon chip" in the system. I suggest you buy Xbox 360 Elite Holiday Bundle as it comes with the same two games.

2. You never know man.

3. Search for the Xbox 360 Recommendation Topic.

4. No, they are both great games and very fun.

1) It's really hard to tell what unit has it and what doesn't as they don't advertise that sort of thing.

2) You should beok because the new bundled models have an hdmi port and are updated from the early units. And even if you do get thered ring, you'll be ok because of the 3 year warrenty.

3) Orange Box, Bioshock, Call of Juarez, Dirt, Skate, Oblivion, Call of Duty 2,3 & 4

4) No those games don't suck. Forza is especially awesome.

want to know if its got a falcon? Read this article:

http://www.anandtech.com/gadgets/showdoc.aspx?i=3152

It will tell you how.

As for games, Halo 3, Bioshock, and Gears of War are all amazing. I haven't played mass effect yet but it looks pretty good. There's lots more that I'm missing i'm sure. 360 has a pretty sick lineup of games now.
