My parents said as long as I sell my old XBox + games, I can have a 360. awesome

Now, a couple of questions:
-How much does Live cost per month/year?
-What games do you recommend? (Besides Halo 3 and Oblivion; those will probably be my first purchases)
-As a 360 owner and hardcore music fan, which will be a better buy in the future? Guitar Hero: World Tour, or Rock Band 2? (I know there will be a lot of speculation on this one, but provide me with your opinion, at least).

Despite the fact that I've never played it, I'd recommend Bioshock.

Live is 50 bucks a year ( personnally i just do the free trials they offer whenever a new account signs up for live)

I reccomend getting soul calibur 4 and battlefield bad company

Personnally i think you should get rock band 2 because then you can play Still alive awesome

I think 360 owners would benefit more from Rock Band 2.

The Rock Band DLC is compatable with Rock Band 2 which means by the end of '08 there will be 500+ songs.

I recommend not Halo 3. I actually traded it in because it was pretty meh and I had almost no friends who played it, and playing with random people is terrible.

Also if you like strategy games you should try Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution.

Live is 7.99 for 1 month, 19.99 for 3 months, or 49.99 for 13 months.

Halo seems just average to me, go with a different game, maybe The Orange Box, GTAIV or some other game. And keep a lookout for some awesome deals on good used games.

Well, the thing is...I actually have a lot of friends who play Halo 3 on a regular basis.

Then it's probably worth getting. Matchmaking is just a run-and-gun fragfest that'll make your ears bleed from all the 8-year-olds cussing at you, but the custom maps/game types are actually kinda cool.

All 360 owners are required to buy at least one copy of Banjo-Kazooie: N&B when it comes out later this year. Otherwise, I'll be forced to beat you senseless with a jiggy. awesome GUH-HUH!

And I personally like the GH games better, as the Rock Band games are expensive and only fun when you have lots of people to play it, but since World Tour is basically the same thing as Rock Band this time, I guess it depends on whether you want more songs, or a track-creator.

Opening video.




The best non-Japanese RPG ever made. If you're getting a 360, get this game.
