hello XBox360 owners!

Was tempted to get one today... endured a 30min sale talk from Connie at Mario and decided to ask you guys some stuff before plunging in my hard earned cash.

Can you guys share the Top 3 games to get with the XBox360?

Is the 'fan' thingy really necessary? I hear the machine gets overheated easily.

1 or 2 controllers? With that battery charger thingy or without?

Any other tips before buying an XBox360?

Top 3 games:

1) Dead or Alive 4
2) Ninety Nine Nights
3) Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter

Fan isn't really necessary if you make sure your 360 is well-ventilated. Just leave some space behind the 360, and make sure your room isn't too hot.

controllers, depends if you have friends/family/spouse/whatever who comes along to play. If you don't, then 1 is enough as Xbox Live is quite enough for your multiplayer needs.

Battery charger is a good long term investment. 4 Energizer AAs will last 1 month, so you're paying RM10 per month for batteries. I think the play and charge kit is about RM100 or so lah....not sure about the quick charge kit.

4 Energizer AA will last 1 month? That's only true if you play around 1 - 2 hours a day. Play and charge kit is only USD 19.99, shouldn't cost more than RM 100 here.

No offence, but how do you know if you don't have a 360? I've regularly played games and 2AAs usually last around 2 weeks. Others have also said the same thing, maybe if you're using chaplak brand batteries, it won't last even a week (ask Dreamyghost about his experience before he got the PNC tongue.gif )

The play n charge kit batteries, yes they don't usually last 2 weeks. So far on average I have to charge every week. It seems that the Energizers can last longer than the PNC, but of course the PNC is rechargeable smile.gif
