I plan on starting with some of the older games like Halo 3, gears of War 1, and Bioshock. I figure that since I am used to Wii graphics, these olders games will still look awesome. I later want to into Fallout 3, Gears 2, and Mass Effect. I figure that could keep busy for a while.

One of the other main cocnerns I had was the red light of death I have heard so much about. Is this still a concern with newly purchased concoles? I would like to think that they have worked the bugs out. Is there any truth to this? It sounds like installing games on the console would help.

The games you've listed are all very well chosen.

The chances of becoming a Red Ring Of Death are very small now due to the new gpu/cpu chips. It might still be out there, but well you get a 3 years RROD warranty.

Whatever you do, never install Halo 3 on the HDD. It's the only game where the loading times get longer. (It already transfers data to the HDD while playing, so an installation slows it down)
