If you do get an intercooler make sure you dont have it pointed right at a wall, or stored on a shelf, make sure it has room to suck in air. Other accesories your gonna need is the rechargeable battery pack, or at the very least the plug and play kit. Besides that get Xbox Live gold the kits they sell in Gamestop have a free Xbox Live Arcade game, a coupon for 10 bucks off a game and a headset. Which covers all you really need unless yolu want to grab another controller so you and a friend can play.

As far as games go, if you have the cash for it just go grab GRAW 2, Gears Of War, Oblivion, and Rainbow Six Vegas. Those are the most talked about, and GRAW 2, Gears, and RSV are the most played online. If you dont have the dough, just go to your local Gamestop they should have other games that range from 30 bucks and under, most of them are either launch titles or a couple of months old but most are still worth it, just check the reviews here first. Hope i helped you.

-No intercooler, get a computer fan and put it on the side so it blows air through -Plug and Play (IMO the best recharge kit) -VGA cable, comes in handy and you never know when you're gonna need it -As far as games go: Oblivion, GRAW, GoW, R6 Vegas, COD 2 and 3... PS: Some other games will be out by then like Forza 2 and Mass Effect, you may want to look into that.

If you're going to buy it on summer do it early because you'll wanna play longer than a month also if you're lucky enough Zephyr might come out and buy that instead if it's just $50-100 higher than premium
