If im going to buy a 360 what acessories/games should I buy to go with it?Whats the cheapest xbox live subscription I can get?Can I use my wireless router to connect the 360 to the internet?Whats the range on those wireless controllers?
Get NCAA Football 2008 and NBA 2K7Xbox live wise, you can get the Silver package, which is free, however you can not play other humans online, you can only download stuff from the xbox live market place (demos and such)Yes, you can use your wireless router for your 360.The range is like 40 feet or something I think..it's far enough.
I'm doing the same thing as RaptorFan.. I think I should get NBA 2K7, College Hoops 2K7, and NCAA Football 08 (I already have Halo 2 for the regular XBOX).
There is no reason to get a basketball game because it will be outdated in two months... You should get a fan, but not an intercooler... You might want to get a rechargeable battery with the cord thing, or just buy rechargeable AA batteries. The only way you can use your router to work with the 360 is if you have another router connected to the modem.
If im going to buy a 360 what acessories/games should I buy to go with it? Get the Premium Xbox 360 for $400. It's $100 more but it's all stuff you need anyways and if you don't buy the premium the acessories could cost $200+. Get: Halo 2, NBA 2k7, Gears of War, and Halo 3 if you haven't saved enough money by November. Whats the cheapest xbox live subscription I can get? There's only one plan. It's not too expensive, like 10$ a month. Can I use my wireless router to connect the 360 to the internet? You can use your wireless internet but you need a special 360 adaptor. Whats the range on those wireless controllers? There all around $50. Just get the one that comes with the premium packag then buy all wired.
By the way, if you can hold out, I wouldn't go out and buy NBA 2k7 at this point. I'd wait 2 and a half months or whatever for 2k8.

If im going to buy a 360 what acessories/games should I buy to go with it?I would get a premium, buy another wireless controller so you have 2, and then get Madden 08 when it comes out, possibly NCAA 08.Whats the cheapest xbox live subscription I can get?A 3 month subscription is cheap, not sure on exact amount.Can I use my wireless router to connect the 360 to the internet?You need an adapter which ranges from like $40 to $100 I am pretty sure.Whats the range on those wireless controllers?Plenty, I can play it from another room.
if you do get a subscription to Live make sure to buy it in the stores because they give you an extra month for free. They have the 12+1 deals for like 50 bucks. A extra fan is a good investment because 360's are known to die out because of overheating. Though you'll have a 3yr warranty for the red light problem so they'll fix it anyway.As for games, Gears of War is definitely the game to get. Its a little short for single player but if your getting Live then the multiplayer for the game is more than enough to last you.

I'm saving up for the 360 too, I think they have much better games talking non-sports. Yes, I do like sports games but I like to play games like Halo and stuff. So how much better would you guys say a 360 is over a PS2?

I got an IMac computer that has a wireless connection, it's not hooked up to anything my computer just happens to pick up someone else's network and I use it to go online. Is it possible to play xbox 360 with this type of wireless service or do I have to connect it to my phone line?? I'm a little confused about all this router stuff.

I heard that there is gold, silver, and bronze memberships, do they all cost the same? Whats the differance between in an intercooler and a fan?Whats so good about the Eliite one?

The Elite would be a nicer buy, bigger hard drive, it's black, updated, etc.No such thing as a bronze though, seeing as the silver membership is freeGold is worht it though, you can play online. And if you think about it, it's just like buying a game. And it's better than just one game.Fans/coolers aren't necessary, just don't have your Xbox on a warm surface like a carpet and you'll be fine. And don't keep it in a cluttered place.Wireless controllers range from anywhere you'd need it.Go online and look for the best reviewed games. Those are your best bet
