i am getting the halo 3 edition soon and i want to know what else i need, and some questions awnsered. ok do i need a memory card? i saw in a pawn shop that they had a 64mb card for $19.99 and i looked on the ebgames site and saw a 512mb for $49.99, i dont think that is a good deal do you? also the play and charge included in the halo edition how does that work, does it come with a battery to charge from or do i need rechargeable AA batteries?

thats all i can think of now, please respond.

it comes with a rechargable battery pack

you don't really need a memory card the hard drive is sufficient

You don't need a mem card if you have a hard drive (which you do).

The falcon chip is the new 65 nm graphics chip (correct me if im wrong). Its supposed to run cooler and use less energy. More than likely youll get an xbox with the falcon in it.

Its in all of the xbox's that have 175 w written on the xbox system and power brick, and more than likely if you got it in december, you got a falcon.

An xbox is still a xbox, it will work the same and a 'falcon' chip will hardly effect the lifespan of your xbox or your gaming experience. If you're so worried, buy a fan or something.

get a memory card if you want special content, Im not sure whats on there. themes gamerpics and demos I think.

I think that is for people with out Xbox live, which is the other essential thing you are missing, pick up a gold subscription to Xbox live as well as some Microsoft Points if you are interested in downloading any arcade games.

You don't need the memory card though, it is useless
