Just got an XBOX360, any recommendations?

A CRT TV's best input will either be RGB over SCART (if you don't live in America) or s-video. RGB over SCART is 'better' than S-video.

Some games (the most well known of which been Dead Rising) are known to have issues when been used on a non-HD TV. Mainly related to text been readable. Using the composite cable that comes with the xbox (or ps3) is the worst way to connect the xbox (or ps3). Get a RGB SCART or s-video cable. Also, check that your TV does support RGB SCART, some don't.

Thank you! I think I'll get the VGA adapter and use one of my computer screens.

Jonny190 right, Call oF Duty 5 Zombie mode looks very cool. Personally, one of the best things about the Xbox 360 is the ability to make games free for windows,xbox 360 and zune. Microsoft offers a free XNA IDE to build your games with lots of free tutorials to get started. I'm working on a remake of Mario bros 2d. If you pick up the wired usb xbox 360 controller it works in the xbox or your pc and you can program against it using all its functionality. Microsoft does charge a yearly membership to transfer games to the xbox 360 but not for your pc or zune. You can also sell them on Xbox 360 market place.

Tips

-Hack your gamerscore for fun.

-Hack your avatar with a hex editor making your skin color something strange.

-Take your box apart and mod it.

-Hack your clothing availability.

You will need a data transfer kit to do this all.

Suggested games..

-All the old school games available in the market place.

-COD games are fun. Watch for modern warfare 2 soon.

Other..

-Mod your xbox 360 controller with a momentary switch and turn those single firing guns into full auto. Google the schematics.

-Don't firmware flash your drive unless you can stay leet, and its never guaranteed. Instead buy a second console and mod it inCase.

Other than that try out the fun stuff. Guitar Hero is fun for awhile. Rock Band has more releases and tracks.

Just got an xbox360, any recommendations for games or accessories?

Accessories: Extended warranty and a x-clamp fix kit

On a serious note. Obviously anything that's not already on the pc at least atm. Resident Evil 5, Street Fighter 4, Gears 2, there's this new xbox live arcade game that's cheap and just pure awesome. It's called shadow complex, check it out, it's really fun, you won't believe it's only 15 bucks.

I'm sorta new to the boards. Isn't this sorta thing frowned apon?

Thanks for not buying one of those Blue Ray players with gaming functionality & have fun Gaming :D!

I didn't hear you complain when "one of those dvd players with gaming functionalities" came out

If you own a Ps2 you don't know how ass backwards your comment just was. That's been Sony's business structure since it worked so well for the Ps2 when dvd players were way more expensive. Btw, what's the problem with owning a 300 dollar blu-ray player that runs linux and a few good games anyway? Sounds awesome to me.

Btw, I Own a Xbox 360. Unfortunately literally after 10 seconds of powering on it for the first time may I add, I rrod' and I haven't felt the motivation to send it in since everything else is basically on the Pc. Wii is way overpriced, Ps3 has crap library and supposedly shitty online, 360 sucks meh balls when it comes to hardware revisions and rrod's, Pc is so 2000. Pick your poison.

I think the title speaks for itself, but if not who got a 360? Who stood in lines for hours just to get the 1st next-gen console? If you didnt get one, do you want to get one like now, or just wait?

For those who did get it....what new feature do ya like the best??
