enjoy you're new console. i've had one since launch and have since replaced it twice. hopefully the same misfortune won't befall you. they got alot of games, but beware of game like oblivion. oblivion may only cost $60 up front, but you'l be spending at least $30 or more on xbox live to get all the new content. too many time have i spent twice the game's value to truely enjoy it. and don't be suckered in to buy all the add-ons, because in the end you'll wish you bought a PS3.

This problem is easily solved.  Don't buy the add-ons.  The game is a great game all on it's own.  You don't have to have the add-ons at all.  They don't add that much.

 Edit:  The Shivering Isles expansion is just like getting the expansion on PC.  You want that much extra content beyond just the original game, you'll pay for an expansion.  What I don't understand though, is why do you have to buy anything extra from Xbox Live in order to truely enjoy it?  Without any extra content, it's a great game.  You can't enjoy a great game on it's own?
