Possible conversion to 360
I truly believed that the PS3 was going to be the best. But it's stupid how expensive it is, so I decided that I will move to the xbox 360. I don't have an xbox, so this is a total conversion. What is important to have, and to buy with my xbox 360? I am very big into online gaming, and played SOCOM on ps2, and am wondering if there is a good team based shooter on 360 comparible to SOCOM. Thanks!

Get the premium pack when you buy one. It's a bit more expensive, but it saves you money in the long run. I (along with a few others here) recommend getting an intercooler as well. You get a free month of gold membership when you start, so you don't need to purchase a LIVE card right away.

For games, I'd suggest either Battefield: Modern Combat, Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter or Saints Row.

None of us have yet to see just how awesome a PS3 is going to be compared to the XBOX360. I had always thought that I would only buy a PS3 but didn't have the patience to wait after seeing the Next-Gen graphics on the 360. Some people can't afford both systems ( especially the PS3 ) which I regret because everybody should have a fair shake to get both systems. The performance all around on the PS3 may very well justify it's price. The only online games I was used to on the PS2 was the SOCOM series and the Madden Series. So, the initial switch to the 360 online system at first is Intimidating and Overwhelming ( for Me Anyway ). But you get used to it.

I highly suggest the Intercooler they have one for $ 20.00 bucks that has three fans and they have a Liquid Cooled on for $ 50.00. The Twenty dollar one will work just fine.
B.A.M.F. is right in the games he reffered to you, as well as getting the Premium pack, which I wish I did....

It's a good system and Christmas time is coming so undoubtedly some really cool games will be released soon. Get a 360 and save coins for a PS3. The Coin Jug of Destiny can buy some nice stuff

Not so fast, my friend. I've posted over and over around these forums that Nintendo's Wii could very well wind up being a "surprise" hit with gamers...
