Gears of War, Halo 3, Oblivion, Mass Effect, BioShock, Orange Box...some game recommendations. And, get internet. TV sucks. Go to a friend's house if you want to watch TV.

Oh, and as for cable or internet, I never watch TV so I would go with the internet. Plus, on Xbox Live, you can rent movies thru it. They just download to your hard drive (unless of course you're getting the 360 Arcade, which doesn't come with a hard drive).

Sounds bad. Madden '08 blows. I don't know why people bother to waste money on sports games. Why? It's because they like them. Turok is supposed to be bad. Kane and Lynch sounds bad. Sold a million copies though so it must be good? No. Halo 3...lots of people like it so that must count for something.

not a bad list, but not great either. Don't know much about turok yet, kane and lynch wasn't all that it was supposed to be, but halo 3 and madden are solid games.

Get internet. You can watch most shows online anyway.

As far as games, once you have your new internet, download some demos to your Xbox to try out what you like.

What kind of gamer are you? if you get hallo 3 don't bother with turok. You said you had CoD4 so I wouldn't even bother with halo 3. And get internet. You can always download TV shows to your PC/laptop and stream it to your 360.

With Xbox Live the best games to have would be CoD4 and Halo 3 since in my opinion there the 2 best multiplayer games out. As for single player games Mass Effect and Oblivion will keep you busy for a while. Also The Orange Box will as well seeing that its 5 games in 1 and well come on Half-Life 2 is one of the best games ever. Plus it has Team Fortress 2 which is a rather addicting multiplater game.

Halo 3 is solid - just make sure to try (which you probably end up buying) Gears of War. CoD4 is good, but grows old really quick, and if you end up liking Gears of War, might as well get Rainbow Six Vegas (or wait for Vegas2) !!! Good Luck.

Welcome to the family.
In terms of games, if you were to get JUST one... get Call of Duty 4 for sure. It's a great game the single player is intense, cinematic and highly replayable while the multiplayer is freaking addictive! And I'd get both internet and cable if possible. I don't know how you can live without either. But if you had to choose one, go with internet as you can pretty much stream anything on TV these days anyways.

IMO, Turok is a crappy game. Get Gears of War instead.

oooo ya make sure you get aleast 20gig hardrive becuz you wont even be able download a demo with a memory card

get a play and charge kit ~~save money on battrys and like evry 3-4days (dempenmds how much you play) last a good 25-30 hours you can plug it to your computer at night when you sleeping and let it charge
