I think im going to buy a 360 what are the best things to start off with and which version of the system is worth the money?

And also can i buy a 3rd party wireless adapter rather than pay 100 bucks for microsofts official one?

i would definitely buy the 360 with the built in hardrive. Idk if there are hardrives with more memory than others, but u can definitely get away with 12 gigs. Im pretty sure u have to buy the microsoft one, and even if there was a third party version, i wouldnt take a chance. Games.....i would get Gears of War, Shadowrun, Rainbow 6 Vegas, or Crackdown. Ive played nearly every game on the 360 and i consider those the best

probably not, the 360 uses custom parts like the HD it would be hard to find one but if you could it would probably be a 1/4 of the price, it's worth the trouble of looking

And a question about Xbox Live, is the free Silver Membership any good or is the Gold worth the money or even a MUST HAVE

You have to have Gold if you want to play online games. You also get demos earlier than silver members. With silver on the other hand you can only spectate matches. Gold is worth it hands down.

You can't play games online without Gold. You can still download demos and stuff with a Silver membership though.
