Yup. getting one later today, when it is not 1:26 AM.
of course, as stated previously I have decided to go with the 60GB system.
I need game suggestions. not just NORMAL game suggestions, but CHEAP game suggestions. I want to start building up my library with cheap but good games (money is extremely limited with me throwing $317 at a new game system). not just for the 360, but for the original Xbox too.
my exposure to the original Xbox was very brief. didnt like it. but I have the feeling I missed out on some good stuff.
I obtained Dead Rising from my sister already. it's the ugly-box platinum hits version though. may try to get an original case from gamestop or somewhere else. with or without their knowledge, either way works.
I ordered Jade Empire and Shenmue II sealed from amazon a few hours ago. both were extremely cheap, and while I really don't know much about jade empire, bioware made it, and that's enough to win my confidence. and it was $3 sealed. that helps.
I plan on checking locally to see if any gamestops have good condition copies of Crackdown available, as that game has interested me for a very long time. if they dont have any that I'd want, I'll just get a sealed copy for $15 on amazon.
and of course, although I am not a great fan of the Halo series, they are good games, and I will go after the first two for Xbox whenever I find good condition copies (seems almost impossible for some damn reason). and Halo 3 will be obtained eventually if only to play Grifball.
and yeah, Gears 1 and 2 are on the list as well. Fallout 3 too.
but what else? it bugs the hell out of me when I get a new system and have a very small selection of games to play on it (see PSP 3 years later). I went on a Gamecube spree when I got my Wii, getting about 13 games in about two months for it, all very cheaply. I'd like to do the same with this new box. the only genres I don't play are music games and sports games.
help.
This I command.
some things to note:
as I have a 36 pack of AA batteries, I'm not going after the play and charge kit or the battery charger just yet. absolutely no reason to get it now.
The only thing I'll be doing online is temporarily moving the router that is downstairs to my room, so I can download the NXE and install Dead Rising to the hard drive, since I remember many reports of that game slaughtering consoles when it was released. after that, router will be going back downstairs and I will stay offline until I get a wireless bridge. I will not be activating the 30 days of gold until I get the bridge.
