hi.

i bought an xbox 360 and a small HD tv and have a few questions.

1) apparently the hardrive is supposed to be 20 gig, but the operating system says i have only 11 gig?. is that normal?

2) damm its noisy. Is that normal

3) Do i need an xbox hdmi cable to get true HD. Im using composite video at the mo.

4) what games do you reccomend. I have saints row (wow), need for speed carbon (love the drift supra in challenge mode). Call of duty 3 (not really played), Blazing Angels (not the best imo) & rainbow six three vegas (love it)

What games are a must buy

thanks

yes, well 13gig, 7 gig is take up with system stuff, graphics, video, xbox compatability stuff., you can delete some of that I think to free space if you need it.

2) damm its noisy. Is that normal

Yes. Tho may be changing soon with a new model.

3) Do i need an xbox hdmi cable to get true HD. Im using composite video at the mo.

No there isnt an xbox HDMI cable. Your (premium) cable should have component as well as composite, it will do 1080 over that (just need to switch the switch on the cable and set resolution in options).

4) what games do you reccomend. I have saints row (wow), need for speed carbon (love the drift supra in challenge mode). Call of duty 3 (not really played), Blazing Angels (not the best imo) & rainbow six three vegas (love it)

What do you like? Gears of War is INCREDABLE. Oblivion is a huge RPG, Dead Rising is ace. Have a look round xbox live marketplace at some demo's (usualy 500-1000mb downloads) and remember to try out some of the arcade games too!

Madden 07 - if NFL is your bag. I'm quite liking 'Lost Planet' at the mo, although I can't get past that boss with the laser beams just after the giant worms...grr.. And even more annoying is neither can my eight year old lad, so it looks like I'll be stuck there for a while..

1. yes, there is a lot of system stuff - delete all the media crap that comes with it to free up some extra space.

2. yes, they are noisey.

3. no component gives good HD signal.

4. get Gears of War
