Congrats on the purchase and joining me with an Elite.  The 120GB hard drive is perfect for you to start going wild downloading demos.

Man, bad timing!  We all decided to go back and play older sports games on the old 180.

Kidding, glad to see another in the fold.  Now get ready to be poor by buying all the games to keep up with these guys.  Jason alone has been responsible for well over $200 in games in less than three months.

Hahaha, I've got two modded OG Xboxes, so I'm covered there.
I definitely won't be keeping up with the Joneses as far as new releases @ 60 per.
Gamefly will come in quite handy.
My first priority will actually be scouring the now impressive selection of low price 360 games.

That's what I've been doing. Here are some of my recent purchases and their prices:
  • NBA Live 08 - $29.99 (New)
  • MX vs. ATV Untamed - $23.99 (New)
  • March Madness 08 - $25.00 (New)
  • GRAW 2 - $29.99 (New)
  • NASCAR 09 - $59.99 but came with a $10 gift card at Circuit City that I used with NCAA Football 09 today
Amazon has had some great "Deals of the Day" lately, including GTA IV for $44.99 and Burnout Paradise for $25.99 (Free shipping and no tax).

Koebner,

I'm pretty sure that you get a free month of Xbox Live Gold with your new system but I've got a few 48-hour Xbox Live Gold Trials if you need them.

I ordered a 12 month gold card from Newegg for 39.99 shipped,so now I'm way set.

That's a great deal.

I think you'll be very happy with your purchase. I was hesitant to buy a next-gen console, but have been very happy with my Xbox 360. I've been spending more time playing video games the past few months than I have in a long time.

I'm also kinda geeked for the media streaming stuff;the Netflix,movies,TV,etc.
The Gold card is actually a 12+1 so thats's 13 months plus my free one month card.
I'm thinking of grabbing APF 2K8 on the cheap,as well as Halo 3 ( to frag some co-workers,mainly). I'm Gameflying some new releases,as well.
I'm actually checking out NCAA for PS2,and will add Madden 09 to my Xbox1.

koebner, I'll sell you my lightly used Halo 3 since I don't play it anymore.  PM me if you are interested.
