Get the Premiuim 360 for one. It's $50 for 1 year of Live. The Premium should include everything you need- headset, ethernet cable, hard drive.

You should probably also get some friends! Random encounters with random people your first time on live isn't always the best experience!

Not as bad as your avatar. Also, siding with Shane is like getting in bed with Satan himself! That's fact!

If you are a AMERICAN FOOTBALL fan Madden 2008 is the best next gen version ever produced. It's a good choice.

This is truthiness which I cannot deny. However, compared to the **** bags they produced prior to 08', this **** bag is far less ****ty than the others.

Once you pick up the goods, grab a 12 pack and you'll be complete!

Oh yeah, you might wanna consider the Wi-Fi adaptor if your wireless router is gonna be far from the console. I think its $99 bucks USD.

Also, all 360's come with a 1 month Trial Gold membership. My friends after their first month, created a new profile and got another month free. Essentially you can do this up to 3 times, before it cans ya.

Also, you'll loose your acheivements too as your setting up a new profile, but great if you can't afford going online.

Also, most stores sell the Live Kit even cheaper than $50, just look for a sale thats on.

Ours cost $99.95 normally here in Aussie Land, but a few weeks ago, the sales were on, and they cut them to $49.95. I bought 2 of them, redeemed my codes and I am a member till 2009!!!! Sweet.
