Get Oblivion. It will keep you occupied for at least 100 hours.

What genres of games do you like most? Would you rather buy 2 $60 games or buy some of the older cheaper games?

Gears of War and R6: Vegas. If you do not like RPGs do not get Oblivion.

Well if you want a shooter you cant go wrong with gears of war, rainbow 6 vegas, or graw 2. If your more into rpg's oblivion would be a great choice, also mass effect will be coming out soon and bioshock will be releasing later this year along with blue dragon and lost odyssey.

Go for those two games. They are both very fun IMO.

Saints Row is a great game to rent not buy imo. Seeing as you like project gotham, forza 2 will be coming soon so that would feed your racing needs.

Gears of War and Oblivion should set you up nicely both great games and some nice change of pace between the two.

Well you could connect to xbox live through your modem but then you can not surf the web at the same time so ireccomend getting a router so you can connect to xbox live and still have access to the web on your computer. You will hae to pay for xbox live either by credit card or by subscription cards. There are 1 month cards, 3 month cards, and 12 month cards choose which ever is more convenient for you.

you need broadband (cable, dsl, satellite). you don't need gold unless you want to play online multiplayer. If I were you I'd get the cheaper games now and get GoW and Saints Row later. I'd pick up PGR3, CoD2, Burnout Revenge. Maybe a few XBLA games. You could find GoW for $50-60 and get PGR3, CoD2, and Burnout Revenge for a combined total of like $70 new.

I suggest just plugging you 360 to your router and not going wireless at all unless you have to. If you have any more questions on connecting to xbox live just go here http://www.xbox.com/en-US/support/connecttolive/xbox360/default.htm

Oblivion is a must have IMO. Some other great games are Call of Duty 3 and Gears of War.
