Thinking about picking up a 360

Couple things, try to get a wireless headset, COD 4, Gears of War, and Halo 3 for starters. You can probably find a Halo 3 console. I play mine almost everyday and unlike the white ones I had, my Halo on has never given me any problems. Good luck man, don't spend to much time playing while in school though, you should be too busy with school work and getting to know some of the females.

well of course, but it's just a way to stay in touch with my old friends, thanks for the pointers tho.Rebelyell7

It is definately the most affordable way to keep in touch with your friends. Sometimes when I'm playing on live with some of my friends its almost as if there right in the same room with me.

Get Mass Effect, Lost Odyssey, Rainbow6:Vegas2, Forza2, COD4, Bioshock, Orange Box and GRAW2 :)

Other notables games to check out later on = Eternal Sonata, Condemned 1/2, Kameo, Gears of War, Halo3, NBA2k8, Ace Combat 6, Oblivion, Burnout and Perfect Dark Zero (as its pretty cheap now i think).

Xbox live is great to keep in touch with friends/family on, and enjoy some good gaming together at the same time.

bump, i needs some more convincing here.Rebelyell7

dude...if you need convincing, then you really don't want one....i'm in college and a lot of my friends have 360's...some nights we just drink and game....it's quite fun

You're wanting to keep in touch with your friends and Xbox Live is obviously your best bet. More games for your friends and yourself to choose from and it's easier to get everything set up. If you go and play online with your friends on PSN, you'll have to quit your game to talk to them, and there is no multitasking, and they'll get bored of the run-around. You can do anything and everything at the same time on the Xbox 360 without closing anything.

The 360 has the majority and it's convenient.

I'd say get either the Premium or the Halo edition. The Halo edition comes with a wireless headset and Halo 3(highly advise you to get) I'd also get Call of Duty 4. I'd wait because there's a new Gears of War comin out later this year and the first one is a bit steep in price for how old the game is.

get a recharable battery or a wired controller.

get a nice pair of wireless headphones for all night gaming sessions.

GOW, COD4, halo3, rock band and gta IV will last you a long time. Get em.

umm...no it doesn't...it comes with a halo 3 special edition wireless controller, halo 3 special edition 20GB hard drive, halo 3 special edition headset (wired), and a play and charge kit....doesn't come with halo 3....i bought the halo 3 edition xbox 360

Since I'm going off to college soon, one where none of my friends are going to, i was thinking about picking up a 360 so i can play with them online, i figure this is more logical than them all getting ps3s. Anyways, anyone have any good tips on what i should get, like games and accessories. Keep in mind, college, so i have to be a little lax with my spending here. Thanks guys.Rebelyell7

Wirelss router will probably be a must since your probably going to need wi-fi, as far as games go I would try and pick up stuff with co-op/online play that your friends also like to pllay, so definetly talk to them and see what they suggest.
