and I have some questions

- is "Live" worth it? I'm using the month free thing and also have another 2 months free
- any games you recommend? (currently have Forza)

Also, I'm trying to set it up with the server in my house and it's having a few problems. It can only see certain video file types, are there codecs to be downloaded? Anything else you recommend I do?

Thanks

Live is worth it.

GTAIV, Ghost Recon, Gears, Ace Combat 6, Euro 2008, PES 08, BF:BC.

Just don't get Halo 3.

@zimmer: what's wrong with halo 3?

@ kylef: i've had my 360 for a few years and i've never owned live. its nice, but not necessary. and i think only the most common file types can be used with the 360, so no divx codecs and such.

Nothing is wrong with the multiplayer, but the singleplayer campaign was single greatest let down in my entire history of playing videogames.

Live is worth it.

Get BF:BC, CoD4, PGR4 (it's fun, albeit arcadey), and add me on Xbox!

Pretty much what they did (and this was confirmed somewhere) was spend a few years making a great MP game, then at the last minuite say "shit, we forgot to make a campaign," and throw together a half-assed one with an awful story.

That's because people play the campaign for a few weeks to get a feel for the game, then they play MP the rest of the time. If the SP is better than the MP, no one would have any fun.

Live was the only reason I got a 360. If there wasn't online play it would be useless imo

Kyle: Can't recall - do you know coding (like C/C++ coding) at all?

If so, or if you're interested in playing around with writing code for 360, then you should look into whatever the premium-level Live subscription is called (gold?) - that allows you to 'publish' your own stuff through Live, or something (I don't have a 360 so am not 100% sure of the details)...

Thanks for all the replies, I'll take a look into them

Scorpion - not really interested / know a lot about coding I'm afraid ... just basic HTML and ... BBCode
