I finally broke down and bought an Xbox360 elite! :) It should arrive in 5-7 days. I have ps3 but couldn't help myself, Halo 3, Bioshock, and a bunch of other games look too fun to miss.

Any suggestions on what games to get? I like just about everything except sports games. I like Action Adventure, FPS, arcade racers, survival horror and rpg's.

Also, I know I will need to get a wireless network adaptor and xbox live gold, is there anything else I will be needing?

Sounds like your set for awhile, but some other great games with bargain prices are Saints Row, Dead Rising, and F.E.A.R.

I'm thinking Saints Row and Gears for sure and Lost Planet looks killer. I just looked into Dead Rising, zombie killing never gets old, lol. Crackdown looks like a fun time too. thanx ;) I just rented F.E.A.R. for ps3 but haven't put it in yet.

Theres a gazillion of demos and arcade trials you can check out. Go check out the Platinum Hit selections too in stores. You're set and get ready for sexy time.

Why did you order it. Wny not just go to your local wal-mart etc and pick one up. Anyway the elite is less prone to RROD so yeah good purchase. Get Oblivion for your RPG crave. COD4 is coming out soon. I don't think their is any survival horror right now but RE5 is coming.

I ordered one rather than picking one up cuz, I put it on my Sears card. All the Sears and K-Mart stores sold out of all their 360's in my area.:( They had a ton of the Halo 360's and Elites just a few days ago, all gone.

Gears of War is a great game that is not on any other platform. I also love Rainbow Six Vegas. Enjoy. I am upgrading to an Elite this week.

Viva Pinata should be pretty cheap and it is also a very solid game that is under appreciated by the masses.

Good for you, enjoy it.

As for games, judging by your sig, you are currently playing Oblivion for the PS3 so I'll leave that out, but I would say try out these games: BioShock, Gears of War, Mass Effect, Crackdown and Halo 3.

I'll leave multiplatform games out because you'll have to decide which system to get them for, but the above mentioned games are all good (I assume Mass Effect will be).:)
