It's aboot that time
With a few hundred dollars laying around now, but also with a car and insurance payment coming up, and more paychecks coming in, and me losing some interest in my PS3, I figure it's about the time I invest in a 360.

So, for all the 360 owners on here, I'm looking for some feedback. Such as:

Where should I get it? Store? Online?

What should I get with it (don't suggest games)?
Accessories? Extra Controllers?
Obviously I'll be getting a Live Gold subscription

Basically, just wondering what would be best to get, other than the Elite System since I really don't need the 120GB hard drive.

Again, please don't suggest game. I know what I want.

I wouldn't doubt something like this has been posted before. But if so, this is a good way to get some people hyped up about me getting a 360 *looks at Writer*

WooT! Irishman coming to the 360!

Well let's see:

Play and charge kit is one thing you'll need. You won't have to spend extra money on batteries and ****.

Extra controllers? I wouldn't worry about those unless other people will be playing with you.

DO NOT get the cooler.

Go get it at a store. Online you'll have the shipping fees and ****, and I think that's a waste of 12 bucks.

I'm thinking of doing the same. Once, I find an extra $300, I'll buy one for sure.

Sell your PS3, that's what I did. Put an ad on Craigslist or somewhere, and you'll get hits by the dozen.

When I posted mine I got 2 offers in the first half hour, then like 20 after it was already gone. I asked for 300, some Asian dude wanted it cheaper than retail so bad he paid me 350

I already know Pat won't sell his. So Pat, as I've told you so many times, get a job.

And yeah, that's true about Craigslist. I got 10 emails in an hour for my car. As I've said before, I'd sell my PS3 if it weren't for The Show. I wuv that game.

I'd start off with,

-extra controller
-play & charge kit(best $20 you'll ever spend on your 360)
- it really doesn't matter where you buy it, so I'd say the store so you can have it right away.
-I'd just get a 12 month Xbox Live card just to get it out of the way, but that's just me.

That's about all you need to start off, depending on your internet situation, you'll need the wireless adaptor.
