Depends. If you like playing single-player more than online games just get Oblivion. If you like playing online games get Xbox Live Gold. But do sign onto Xbox Live Silver.

Well, you wouldn't be getting it for a while. You'll be getting Oblivion and Live first.

But by then, you'll probably also have Guitar Hero, Mass Effect, Spiderman3 and lots of other good stuff to choose from.

Ouch, what a horrible choice to have to make...

Oblivion could easily make you forget that the 360 is capable of Live play for a long time though.

Yeah when you make your account on the 360 it will ask you do you want to upgrade to gold.

you should have gotten a one week XBL trial card in your copy of Vegas, give it a try and see if you like playing online.

I must be one of the minority on these forums who absolutely loathes oblivion, I say get XBL, so much fun, if you're into dull first person sword combat then go ahead and get oblivion, if you want to play against thousands of gamers from around the world in any live enabled game you buy, get XBL

Yeah, I know, but you're gonna need to swing that sword if you're going to get any of the amazing amount of content in the game done, I bought the game, I attempted to like it, but the dull combat just destroyed it for me, if they had a good combat system i'm sure it'd be one of my top 360 games, but that didn't happen

Get Oblivion. Just make sure to make your gamertag on your 360, not on the website, and decline all requests to upgrade to gold until it says you qualify for a free month of Gold. You'll have to make a new gamertag with a new email address every month (up to 3 times), but hey, it's free.

Wow, I never knew about that! Cool. XBL is a must if you have friends with 360's, but keep away from paying full price for as long as you can. Check on slickdeals.net and fatwallet.com, usually the people on the forums will find XBL deals and post them up. I managed to get it for ~$35 because K-Mart had boxes that were priced lower than normal.

Tough choice, but if I had to choose, I would go with Xbox Live. You already got RB6V, which is a really good game, online. You should get Oblivion later though.
