What will i need if i buy an Xbox 360?

[SpeedyGonzales]

Hello all,

In a few weeks time...well just before Christmas i am purchasing an Xbox 360 Premium Pack. However, i don't know what i will need to get with it, as it is the first time i have owned an Xbox.

If you know what accessories i will need for the Xbox 360, can you please write them down.

Kind Regards

Big Chris

Depends how you're going to go about things.

You could need:

1. Wireless Internet Adaptor
2. Extra Wireless Controller
3. Wireless headset


Think thats about everything you'd need. They are all optional though.

A lot of spare time...

some good games,

PGR4, Forza2, Halo 3 but essentially COD4.

Stunning.

A HD Pannel and sound system to plug it in to.

I have this sound system works great

+ games
Forza
Gears
Cod 4

Don't forget the live subscription too.

Forza for sure, personally I would forget Halo.

You get 1 months free live 'gold' when you create an account (BTW use a USB keyboard if you have one handy then).

The 360 your getting comes with a composite/component cable, and may have a HDMI port.

You may then want another cable depending. Component is the best analog signal, if you have HDMI free use that, dont use composite, get the VGA,RGB or S-Video cable otherwise.

If you have a home cinema the 360 has optical digital out so you'll need a TOSlink cable of required length.

IMo a 2nd controler and wireless (unless you can cable) is worth it, as is rechargable batteries.

and a game..

The play and charge kit (turns the wireless controller into a wired controller if you batts run out, and then charges the battery pack at the same time, plus it lets you run AI races in Forza without having to balance something on the controller).

I had to get a VGA cable too as I am using a monitor.

I got an extra controller/headset/webcam/MS remote. All were a waste of time for me, especially the remote.

Answer: Xbox live memebership.

Don't bother with an extra controller, unless you have mates round to play (I play against all mine online as they have 360's too)
Wireless hetset is pointless unless you use it alot.
I only use my headset when talking to mates, and then the free wired one is enough.
I don't bother chatting to random americans online.. no thanks!
Games too.
