Right, im back, ive been playing the 360 since my first post....a lot of posts here have made me chuckle, and frown.

Firstly, to Leo-j, i had a 40g PS3, no BC. So i dont miss out on ps2 games as i couldnt play them anyway.

Secondly, thanks for all the games recommedations everyone. Im thinking gears 2 and dead space are next.

To Twesterm, il look into the hard drive.

Kowenicki, i see your banned, hopefully not for a post in this thread

Others, im a poor student, and to be honest, the reason i bought my ps3 was for mgs4. Ive completed it, and looking to next year, ive never been a god of war or gran turismo fan, and killzone 2 is still a question mark, lets face it.

The 360 library has a lot of games i want to experience, and i thought i would start again with the 360, and enjoy some old classics, as well as the likes of gears 2 and halo wars, games i really want to play.

My only question to everyone concerns XBL. Was an arcade an unwise move if i want to play online (which i do obviously, after enjoying PSN and hearing nothing but glowing stuff about XBL)

Thanks for all the responses

Enjoy Man, you are in for a good ride.

Try Fable II.

And get a HDD.

@colonelstubbs

Don't worry. Most people were just writing stuff for fun... atleast i was XD

Btw wot XD bold text biatch.

You can play online with an arcade and a memory card.

Not if you get the harddrive twest told you to look into.

no i have an arcade also tbh i dont care about downloading demos, i still dont have an HDD also i still enjoy the games expect in halo 3 which i think u deff nedd a hard drive for that game since your limited to playing this crappy limited avaliable matches they give you, but i would get a HDD if i were you i heard if you go to xbox.com/storage you can purchase a 20gb for 20 bucks with credit card.

edit: hopefully you dont get the RROD, i got my 360 this feb of this year so far not a single problem so far..

You can play online with just the Arcade. Take up the $20 deal for the 20 GB harddrive though. It's worth the extra space.

I'm Daddy Keil on Live, so when you get Gears 2 we can hit up some co-op campaign if you want. Unfortunately I don't have Halo 3 or Gears 1 anymore, so no go there.

To leo-j, unless you have a post you can send proving colonel ever said he had a 60 GB, I suggest you no longer show up in this thread. Your misinformation derailed the entire post, and I'm this close to just banning you for it.

Congrats on the purchase. As long as you're having fun that's what counts.

Plus there's some great XBLA games that you shouldn't pass up, so keep those in mind as you start spending away.

Get an HDD one way or another. The low priced one from MS or somewhere. You will need the space if you want big XBLA games, demos or to install any game. It's just not right without one.

 Id like to point out, i DID own a 60g PS3 first, but swapped it for a 40g in....june i believe, something i did put in a post on here. So i dont know if leo-j is referring to a post from when i joined the site (and owned a 60g) and was banned or something when i swapped it in, or just assumed i have one for some reason, but i did own one so i guess he can have the benefit of the doubt, from my side anyway....

I'll deffo get a harddrive, it seems a good thing to do, if they are $20 in the states they must be cheaper here in the UK
