Xbox 360

[xxMATTGxx]

Well, at Christmas I’m getting an Xbox 360 full system + 6 games [I get more games but that’s what came with] I know I’m getting it due to I chose it and my dad bought it on that day :) Anyway I want to ask some questions so I know when I open the box with my hands =]

1. Easy to set up?
2. How long is the Ethernet cable you get?
3. Xbox Live: is there a chat thing to chat with your friends you added or something?
4. Should i stand it up or put it down sideways?
Or is there any other information and good games you want to tell me?

Please let me know thanks!

1. It's easy to set up

2. I don't know

3. It should come with a piece of trash headset that looks ******ed when connected to your controller

4. Put it like its meant to be, flat.

5. There aren't many good games out on it at the moment

1. Yes, very although something weird with the power cables may catch you out but it's relatively simple

2. About 1-1.5m - not very long.

3. It's called private chat - with talking and you get the headset with the package so you can talk on xbox live. Also you can message your friends.

4. Sideways, flat - always.

Or. Saints Row; Just Cause; GR:AW, HALO2 [xbox I know], FIFA 07, PGR3.

Just buy San Andreas, it's way better than the carbon copy called Saints Row.

1. Very easy to set up
2. I think around 5 metres
3. Yeah you can send messages to each other typing, or you can speak to each other in an instant chat using the headset
4. Doesnt matter, either way is good

There are plenty of decent games out, just look around and see what kind of games you like.

Thanks for the help and info!

1. Yes, there is an automatic easy set up guide started the first time you turn it on.
2. 3 metres
3. Yes, there is a built-in chat
4. Most people advise putting it down, however there is no evidence that standing it up can have a very bad effect on it...

Games to get:

PES 6
Saints Row
Halo 2
PGR 3

kthxbi

Not much I can say that hasn't already been, but Xbox Live is where it's at, bloody awesome. And the headsets are indeed crap, i'm on my third.

1, extremely easy
2, i would say about 6 meters i never used it though cos i already got one
3, yes there is called private chat need headset though think it come with it and for normall messaging just use send message
4, It is reccomended to stand it up to its tall not long but tall and my friend had to buy a new one 'cos it melted his disk cos it needs cold air from high up so

Hot air rises? He must have just blocked the air vents and been playing it for about 8 hours.
