So anyway, here are some things I'd like to know:

  • I don't intend on paying for Live... at all, ever. Can I play games online without this service? (not a big deal either way) Can I purchase games like Braid or Castle Crashers without it? Sign up for a silver (free) account, and you get a free month of online play. The silver account allows you to download all demos, arcade games, trailers, online content, etc. The gold account lets you play multiplayer. You can buy Braid and Castle Crashers without having a gold account.
  • Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Netflix unavailable in Canada? So does that make this service as useless as the PSN one is to us Canadians? Yes, Netflix will be useless if it is unavailable in your area.
  • Is a 20gb drive sufficient? I wouldn't mind taking advantage of uploading a game to the hard drive and have no issues only having 1 or 2 games on there at a time. But because my preference is for JRPGs, does anyone know if you can upload one disc at a time as opposed to having to upload all the discs belonging to a single game? 20GB should be sufficient. There hasn't been much news about uploading multi-disc games. If I was a guessing man, I'd guess you can install whichever disc you want, and not install others.
  • To be honest, I haven't followed much outside of JRPG's on the 360, so some suggestions would be nice. I pretty much like every genre with the exception of WRPG's. Gears of War 1/2, Bioshock, Crackdown, Dead Rising, Left 4 Dead, Lips, Banjo, Kameo ... lots of games Past, Present, and yet to come.
  • I have already bought Blue Dragon (only 14.99! I plan on playing this first) and plan on getting Lost Odyssey, is Infinite Undiscovery truly as uninspired as many say it is. I thought the first few videos seemed to fit that description and haven't payed much attention afterwards. If anyone thought otherwise, I'd like to hear about it! Some like it, some don't. I think there are much better offerings in Blue Dragon/Lost Odyssey, and Tales of Vesperia. Even the Last Remnant looks interesting.
  • For Tales fans: I hated Radiant Mythology for PSP, I thought Eternia was pretty good and I thought Symphonia was ok. How does Vesperia stack up against those. I'm really only interested in hearing how it compares to those listed. As I understand, it's close to Symphonia, but I could be wrong.
  • Can I purchase MS points via Credit Card online? Yes. Through Xbox.com, sign in with your account, and then you can add points to your account. Or, you could buy point cards from Amazon.

That's all I can think of at the moment. Thanks in advance for any responses!

Responses in bold. Can't go wrong with an Arcade, and then signing up for the 20GB for 20 bucks!
