With the inherent errors in 1/3 of the Xbox 360's, is it safe to buy one at the moment? Or is the problem still unsolved in the new ones? Is Microsoft ever considering fixing it?

Woa thanks Luminouslight, just realized we were WAY off topic.

Strategy games are very worthwhile if you enjoy the power of commanding armies. What I have noticed is that strategy games have compeltely horrible campaigns because you do the same thing in each mission: build a base, complete some random objective and eventually destroy the enemy prescence in the area. So if you want an intricate story line then do NOT buy a ton of games expecting one.

However, the multiplayer is very rewarding, even more so then first-person shooter games. This is because each game is extremely different than the next and also it takes a lot more actual strategy rather than just reflexes. It really shows the skill difference between two players and is hardly ever random.

I would employ you to purchase one of the games mentioned by many of us in this topic and simply try it out. Even just downloading a demo or two will really tell yourself if you enjoy these types of games.

It really depends on what you are into...

Turned Based? = Civilization IV

Large Scale? = Total War Series

Historical? = Age of Empires Series

Online Multiplayer? = WarCraft III

World War II? = Company of Heroes

Lord of the Rings? = The Battle for Middle Earth II

Star Wars? = Empire at War

Sci-fi? = StarCraft

The first game was marvelous in my opinion but the second really destroyed the name. Microsoft wanted to squeeze the juice out of the brand but the same developer wouldn't take the offer. So the makers of the expansion of the first game created the second. It was a mess, the graphics were bubbly, the maps were small, everything was worse. Do not purchase it, you will regret it.

Your character can only travel to other worlds if you have that version of Guild Wars on your account and installed. For instance, if you have regular Guild Wars and your friend has Nightfall, you cannot visit each other under any circumstances. However if you both had Nightfall then you could.

My funniest moment was in Battlefield 1942 on the Coral Sea map (where there are two carriers, one for each team). And so I was flying in the fighter plane over a tropical island when there was an enemy fighter coming straight toward me. We both fired but somehow did not kill one another so I leaped out of my plane as it smashed into the enemy one, killing the pilot and granting me the kill point. I opened my parachute and landed safely on a beach.

Star Wars Battlefront and Star Wars Battlefront II both seem to fit those specifications.

Do not go with guild wars unless you are a casual MMO player. The best one out right now is most definately World of WarCraft but it really depends what you are into? Like super heroes? Get City of Heroes/Villians. Into Lord of the Rings? Get Lord of the Rings online. Into star wars? Get Star Wars Galaxies (although I don't recommend it). In a few months Age of Conan will come out and I seriously believe this will be incredible compared to WoW. In addition, Warhammer Online is coming out early next year and will be THE PvP MMO. But currently WoW has the best endgame with their intricate instances, raids and arena PvP system.

1) How is the battery life on the wireless controllers? Are they preferred over the wired ones? Why?

2) Is it easy to plug in your own external hard drive? Essentially, is the core package a good buy?

3) Are there any good bundles sold anywhere that anyone knows of?

4) Any other advice when purchasing?
