Forums - Microsoft - I'm buying a 360!

Ok, I live in bolivia, so money is sort of an issue here, but, i just finished a project and should be touching a bonus. Last time I did I bought a 37 inch HD TV and I want something to show off my screen ever since

With the money I'll be getting I should have enough to buy an Xbox 360 and about 5 games (no PS3 boys, it costs 600$ here!! nothing against it though)

So... any games I MUST buy, I never liked Halo (played the first one), besides internet in Bolivia is just to crappy to play online.. should I give Halo 3 another chance? I must admit, I'm looking forward to something that will look good on my screen, because upscaled DVDs are nice, but i feel like I'm missing out!

I was definitely thinking about GeOW and GeOW2... now please some advice!!

Oh, and finally, I'm a little affraid of RROD, since there's no warranty over here, anything I should/shouldn't do?



Listen to the voice of reason, then do as I say.

Also, I think I'll get PES 2010 when it comes out (I heard 2009 sucks)

Is there a way to play it with more than 4 players? I usually play PES with my friends on ps2, with 2 multitaps and we go 3 on 3 or even 4 on 4, it's awesome

Hmmm.....what you should/shouldn't do, huh?

Should: Play it online, buy Gears1/2, buy a Charge and Play kit, enjoy it

Shouldn't: Hit it with a hammer


I'm happy for you, and I hope you enjoy it!



Gears, definitely.

Judging by your avatar, you also need I MAED A GAM3 W1TH Z0MB1ES!!!1



Games you must get = All games rated 70+ on metacritic,because they have achievements!

Arcade games as well!

Agreed.   Gears 1 and 2 is a must,  the hammer not so much

Oh, man, yeah, i'll get RE5 for sure
I meant what should or shouldn't do not to get RROD like, dont play it sideways, or play it sideways, try to let it rest every other hour, i don't know, never had to worry about that before so i'm not very informed

I leave mine horizontal. And while there's a risk that any piece of hardware will break, I'm confident that 360's released in late 2008-present are pretty reliable. Just do some research to make sure you're getting a newer one and not an older model.
