First, congratulation..
Second.. you will enjoy XBLA much more, than you would think :) i have round 70 "big games" for xbox, but really like only few.. the main time i was playing only the XBLA and i must say, if for nothing, the XBLA is a f...k great service..it gives me so many great games, that i really don't need to buy anything else :) Just to name some:
Shadow Complex - i was absolutely addicted to this :) Great story, graphics, arcade feeling :) A must buy (PS3 owners are really missing a masterpiece in its category - hope, that it will get a way to PS3 sometime, somehow)
Defense grid - do you like tower-defense games ? That get this game.. it`s really awsome, you would be amazed (don't know, if it`s already on PS3)
Trials HD - if you know something like ELASTOMANIA, this is somthing for you.. a great game for the arcade/nervers fanboys :)
Arkadian warriors - somthing similar to diablo - try first demo
Bomberman Live - need to say more ? :))
Comic Jumper - great arcade games
Feeding frenzy 2 - something from mobiles / arcade games :) Just a time killer :)
Galaga Legions / Geometry Wars - a great retro-shooter (galaga, gyrus, space invaders)
Splosion Man - get it, grab it :) pure FUN :) and hell of nerves :D co-op enabled :)
Rocket Riot - man, how i love this game :) Sometimes you would throw your controller out of windows, but it really makes my day :)
Small Arms - great action game (you know that games, that you have to jump, shoot and stay alive until some condition are meet)
Toy Soldier - something like defense grid :)
Limbo - you know that dark creepy game :)
Tales of (haven't playet it on full version, but i like the style of the game)
... many others :)
Also on PS3, but if you want to buy them at xbox (deals, etc..) :
Alien Breed series - just pure action game (remake of classic)
Castle Crasher - arcade game - really great :) co-op enabled :)
Assault heroes I,II - a great action game - from top :) Co-op enabled :)
Grip Shift - great car arcade
Lara Croft (darkness) - enjoy it really - great game
Pac-Man Championship - nothing to add. .best pac-man to date :)

Stacking
Also look for game market place (top downloaded/top rated), INDIE Games (from 80s points, you will find great games), and look for DEALS OF THE WEEK (DOTW) and month deal (now great games for 50% off).. also EVERY ARCADE GAME HAVE A DEMO - if you like it, then a pop-up during game will give you choises to buy it or end it :)
And dont forget for free games :) Harm ways, Dash Of Destruction, Doritos Crash Course :)
From Big Games
Alan Wake - hope, you will give a chance to this game.. if you like some kind of action-adventure games, you will be thrilled and blow-out by this game - if for nothing, this game is the reason, why to buy XBOX :)
Forza 2 or 3 - even if you like GT5, forza will give you an enjoyment and pleasure of a great car game :)
Fable 3 - google it :)
Dead Or alive 4 :)
Also, M$ is planing to run a free game service - you would pay for what you want :) so we will see :)
The more I read the "console flamewars", the more i love my dreamcast :D
