Xbox 360 essential accessories?

[Big Bob]

Sorry for the noob question!!

Just got an Xbox premier pack today, I got the plug and play thing for the controllers and I was wondering what other accessories were considered worth getting?

I saw some cooling fan sets in the shop, do most people bother with these?

Cheers!

No, they have a negligable effect and the thing is noisy enough as it is! You need Forza, GTA IV, Fallout 3 and that is pretty much it....

Ignore that post, you only need forza, cod 5 and maybe cod 4 now, you know it makes sense, so get tot he shop. If you plan on playing online with some of us you will probably want a spare headset for when your first one inevitably breaks.

Forza doesn't come out my 360...
It was pointless me buying other games!

The first accessory I bought was a the wireless network adaptor - http://www.xbox360-offers.co.uk/xbox360_wireless_b... , cuts down on cables. The wireless racing wheel is a must have if you're into driving games.

Race Pro ok ok its graphicly not as good as Forza 2 but there's a patch coming to improve the game the handling more realist than the latter

Are you saying he should be buying some stick on fans for it? Thats what it sounds like....

Seriously though, the battery charger is a good shout as it will charge 2 packs at the same time and is only a wall wart rather than you having to be connected to the console. Batteries always fail when in the middle of an important game.

They do indeed, just ask Curry!

If you have a wireless controller get a Play & charge kit. Non stop play then as if the batteries are going just plug in and carry on playing.

Also a Wireless adapter to get rid of wires.

Download TVersity for your PC so you can stream Videos to the XBOX. You can use Windows Media player but I found it was always buffering on a film and the sound was slightly out. TVersity works much better.

Seems the first accessory you should buy is a spare 360 if you want uninterrupted play.
