Xbox 360

Hi there!!

I'm really considering buying an Xbox, and I just have a couple of questions.
Firstly - I would (obviously) get the supreme package, 1 wireless controller, 20GB HDD, 2 games etc. How much are controllers, and how much would a wireless adapter be for it so I can link it to my router?

Secondly - I already have an account for Xbox Live with my Xbox... can I transfer this onto the 360?

Thirdly - Anything else you want to tell me before buying this incredible system?!

Thanks in advance,

Amnesia

The 360 is a good system. The controllers are $40 for a wired one and $50 for a wireless one (I would probably get a wired one because I hate changing batteries).

Your Live account will transfer over

The wireless adapter is $100 bucks and is definitely not worth it unless you cannot find a way to use a wired solution.

I personally am waiting for them to switch to the 65nm chips before I buy one, also a price cut wouldn't hurt because the thing is about $50 more than I expect a consul to be.

shouldn't this be moved to the game system section, so he could get some better answers from those that might be lucky enough to own one?

Hi there...

I eventually bought one.

I managed to get a Wireless adapater really cheap, so I'm happy withthat.

Games are awesome, got two wireless controllers (with charger packs) so you can charge and play at the same time

We have a 48" LCD screen with HDTV... and a 32".. we've got the Xbox on the 32" and the HD really does shine through - set up through our 7.1 this is an awesome console :)
